Reckless Space Pirates
"Reckless Space Pirates" is a thrilling interactive science-fiction novel where your choices control the story. The game is entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and powered by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Will you survive the infamous space-slime pits? Will you earn the respect of the crew, or even start a romance with a space pirate? Can you negotiate with the fungoid aliens, despite linguistic and cultural barriers? Or will you blast their rubbery guts, plunder the slime pits, and retire in luxury?
You can play the first two chapters of the game for free. (Beware, it ends on a cliffhanger!) The rest of the game is available for in-app purchase.

Really like this, but I wish it was longer. It's too short otherwise would be great.
Highly enjoyable! It is a little short compared to other games, but possibly it seemed more so because I wanted it to last forever. The medusi were so cute! I loved the way they talk.. It was 'Impossibility'!
I really liked the story but it was incredibly short and I didn't really feel like my choices made a difference.
Hmm so you want people to pay for something you already have ad revenue in to get the full product? That's low. You need a disclaimer cause clearly you don't understand the meaning of free.
Meh... The story is realy good but... their are basicly two storylines good and bad, no grey, no part good part bad. No nothing.
Sequel for full 5 stars
Unlike the other stories I've read from this developer, this one needs Internet connection to work, at least most of the time. But other than that, the story's actually pretty nice. Also, I think I've read some writing errors, but nothing too major or else I would have remembered them. I do recall however, that at some points the narrative became a bit inconsistent considering my past choices, which is to say some of our choices don't really make an impact on how the story goes.
I would not rate this as the Best but solid story. Decent length. Choices and stats were reasonably important.
I absolutly love it but i want to complete the story for free. I cant even find the next book
I don't know y we have to pay for 6 chapter long game... 1$ hell a 1.50 tops... we get wrapped up in a potentially gd story and it just ends, it's kind of a rip off, a least make a another one
Exciting novel, good balance of story with choice making
I am hooked on these Interactive Fiction Novels.
Great story!
This is probably- no, IS one of the best games I've ever played. It was very well written, it requires you to think through your actions, it's challenging and rewarding at the same time. Very satisfying conclusion. I don't know why anyone'd rate it 1 star, because I'd give it more if I could. The $2.99 is well worth it!!
At least the path I followed felt like the author suddenly got tired of the nice detailed story and decided to cut it short with a few pages long of "and they lived happily ever after" just when things got interesting. Other than that, I quite enjoyed it.
dont get the free one because of ads and beacuse you can only play through until chapter 2 just buy it.
A really good story, worth the $3. It isn't, however, without its flaws. !SPOILERS BEOND THIS POINT! If you successfully negotiate an agreement between the Crew and the Medusi, the captain of the reckless asks what you would like in return. If you ask for a home on the reckless, the story then proceeds as if you asked to return to Dekera station.
The game and style of it is great, but having to pay for the last 2/3 of the game was a bit annoying. Otherwise the game perfectly fits my ideal for an interactive story
Story is a bit crowded in "fiction terms", as in words we are unfamiliar with. But the action itself is nice and captivating.
When I am reading the story there is great inconsistency, like ny-bat, I'm not sure if it is a guy or girl, because the pronouns keep switching!
It has a great story, but it's really short, not worth the $3.
Fun, and creative text adventure
If you have money yes no money no
It was like a good book that I keep coming back to, I've probably gotten every ending and made every choice but I look forward to playing it again just for the story. It does feel incomplete, but is that really a complaint. At the core it just means that we wanna read even further, that the characters and dynamics were so totally awesome and believable that you gotta know what happens next.
I liked that you could choose what you wanted to do, but at the end you still end up doing the same thing. It gets kindof boring after awhile.
For everyone getting butthurt about having to pay for it, they are trying to also give revenue to the AUTHORS. You know, the person or people who write and code these games. COG and their Hosted Games branch do not code their own games, the authors do using COG programs. You would know this if you checked out their site. You are paying the AUTHORS, not the company.
