Sid Meier's Starships by 2K Starships is on sale for $8.99 down from $14.99, but is it now worth it? I've heard a lot of mixed things shout this one. I would love a portable sci fi civilisation, even if it is watered down.
Very watered down. I did not enjoy. Combat was too simple and resource management somewhat soft as well. It's just ok at best imo.
Space harvest 1 is free or .99 cents Space harvest 2 4.99 ReconInForce free Ember conflict free (haven't tried this but it's new) If money is no object I can give u a big list of all the best rts for iOS. My favorite genres strategy, simulators, tycoons, clickers
That would be great, I recently got an iPad Air 2 having had an iPod touch and been when iOS gaming was up and coming about five years ago. Since then I've been addicted to the usual civilisation etc on desktop. Money doesn't matter too much, though I do like to get things on sale or at their lowest price.
@XGLITE: For me it was worth it at $15 precisely because of this ashmike3 mentions. If you're looking for simple combat and resource management, it can fulfill your needs. If you're looking for something more complex, then this is not for you. Hope it helps.
I agree with this assessment. It's not the world's deepest turn based strategy game but it's fun for what it is.
The game has been updated twice, and one of them was just bugfixes. Maybe it got fixed? I'm on iPad3 and haven't had any issues whatsoever.
I guess at $8.99 I'll give it a go. I don't necessarily need tons of micromanagement. The lockup issue was my main concern. Thanks!
We're in the same boat because I'm always looking for good turned based 4X strategy games. Let me know if you find anything to scratch the itch and I'll do the same.
Starships? Well I've only played it for about an hour but already I see it needs some kind of tooltip system for all the buttons you can press. I press some and get wrong results but I don't know how else to learn them. The battle system sucks, because every time I need to adjust the view, I pinch the screen and my ship moves. I keep needing to adjust the battle view but touching the screen makes a choice. That stinks. Ruins the entire battle. Sometimes I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. Seems like a shallow game so far that needs more work. However, one hour is not enough to evaluate much.
