Stratos Reviews

This is a fun game! After playing hardcore sims this hits the spot. It's got depth, but not too much. The developer is active in the discussion groups and is making the game better by the week. There are some minor bugs here and there, but it's definitely playable. This could easily shape up to be one of my favorite chill-sims.

Interesting little indie title. Has some fun mechanics and a good way to spend an hour or two. Probably could stand to go down to $5 based on comparably priced options, but making games is hard.

I wish more games wanted the player to relax like this one... There's complexity, but so far I haven't felt super out of my depth (might be because I'm a management fan). There's a lot going on here and the art design is really good - totally sold on being a sky pirate. Enjoying my wee adventure so far and excited to see just how big a boat I can make :D A rewarding game loop, with building, management and discovery and a novel art style. I don't think I've ever reviewed a game on Steam but this game is so charming I had to. Ahar!

disclaimer : if your like SPIRITFARER ,this is almost alike in every way, but this game is more Tycoon-y and have less story ... also less content ... but nice for the price relaxing, but very simple base building and adventure game too bad no story mode. You can choose how you win the game, conquering forts, village, buying islands, or exploration ... but thats it, there is no story or campaign mode that make you engage into the game. if you like casual sandboxy game without thinking too much about lore or story, this is your game ... but for people who want more spice and intense like Kenshi or Rimworld or SPiritfarer, maybe this is not for you NOTE : although the game is stable and have no crash, it seems the game is not finished yet. There are some missing content here and there. You can wait for some update first, or if you play now, you can see everything this game has to offer in less than 6 hours.

Quite fun if you like slow paced, casual base builders. Currently though, there are quite a few bugs but the developer is working to iron them out.

I enjoy this game and hope it gets more love. Love the atmosphere and concept of the game overall! The different victory paths are neat and satisfy different styles of play, I think conquering/pirating should perhaps have a bit more consequences or some kind of event where stronger enemies attack you. Feels like once you get on a roll with cannons and equipment it's hard to be stopped/challenged.

Full disclosure, I am a freelance writer who was brought in after the game was out to write the story line and side quests. So I won't review any of those aspects, and if you hate the story that's on me. I don't even know if the designer is aware I ended up buying this, but here I am. To be clear, I get zero money from sales of this, so don't view this as an attempted cash grab. I really enjoy this game. It took me a bit to get the hang of, as I haven't really played a game like this before. But once I did I loved it. It's a good mix of long chill periods spiced up with bouts of combat. The color palette is pleasing, the over aesthetic is nice, and music sets a good tone for what the designer was going for I think. I'll be starting my second run at tomorrow (starting over now that I have a better idea of whats what), and I look forward to getting in deeper. Worth the money in my, admittedly, biased opinion.

This game is 85% Wonderful and 15% Buggy Mess. Flying around in an airship doing the 3 things I like in a game- Combat, Exploration, and Trading ( CET). Then throw that into a build-a-base format and I say, "Thank you very much. I'll have some more please, please." Then the bugs kick in, and all of that "please, please" goes down the drain. The developers ran a marathon only to stop within 20ft of the finish line. WONDERFUL GAME. IT IS NOT FINISHED.

It had potentials, but when sales wasn't up to expectation the dev chose to leave (his own actual statement)... nice one... Won't be buying anything from this developer in the future!

started off a little fun, but as time went on it seems a little broken. Characters do not feed or drink even though resources are in place to do so. built rooms to meet needs and are not used. characters gather around storage crates and only move to maintain rooms.
