You can win simply letting you ship on fire. This is a poor FTL wannabe. It's not even worth for free. They're just trying to cash in with people who think ftl is too expensive. Based Xatu Well-Known Member Aug 27, 2013 1,937 0 0 #4 Based Xatu, Apr 5, 2014 The game isn't that bad. It's boring and linear, and you never really feel like you have control, but it's not terrible. Also the story and the pacing suck. one.sixty.four Well-Known Member Jan 14, 2013 1,282 0 0 minnesota #5 one.sixty.four, Apr 5, 2014 I knew this would be the answer, but i figured I'd ask anyway.

I really hope the much-promised expansion brings all the randomness, out teams and things like that. This game needs an infinite mode. oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #11 oooooomonkey, Apr 6, 2014 I really liked this game too, played through it twice. iPadisGreat Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2012 2,391 0 0 #12 iPadisGreat, Apr 7, 2014 What does Star Command do better than FTL? iPadactuallyPlayedMoreStarCommandThanFTLDueToTheAirlockStrategy...

It was a pretty good placeholder for FTL at the time.... Yeah totally!?? Gilgilad Well-Known Member May 15, 2013 159 0 16 #14 Gilgilad, Apr 8, 2014 Well FTL is a lot like Star Command, except it is actually fun. Aventador Well-Known Member Jan 16, 2013 933 1 0 Student Croatia #15 Aventador, Apr 8, 2014 Star Command is a more relaxed game with linear story and overall a parody of everything Sci-fi and modern ( from movies to games ).If you want some laughs from all the references get this game, but don't expect full blown story , random events or a long game. FTL on the other hand has much more depth and variety , but is also highly intense and frustrating most of the time. I still think Star Command is worth getting for Sci-fi fans that are "overwhelmed" with FTL, however don't think that it will be updated anymore. VirtualBoyFreak Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Apr 26, 2011 4,782 71 48 Spain #16 VirtualBoyFreak, Apr 8, 2014 Last edited: Apr 8, 2014 I'd rather say that Star Command wants to be like FTL and only achieves it on a 15-20%. FTL is a much, much better game. On the other side, one thing I like a lot from Star Command is the minigames for shooting the weapons. It seems devs are doing some improvements to the game (according to their FB page), so we might see updates. The problem, I believe, is that this must be a side job to get an extra income, so they take a lot to implement what they say they want to implement. That's my guess... CzechCongo Well-Known Member Jul 17, 2013 294 0 0 #17 CzechCongo, Apr 9, 2014 The only thing Star Command had going for it was that it was out and FTL wasn't. Now it's got nothing, and I haven't had it installed in months and months anyway. It had better be a great update with great reviews for me to install it again.
