Stellar Settlers: Space Base Builder Reviews

I'm sorry for what effort was put into the game; also sorry that I bought it. I can't recommend a game with AI content. The concept of the game seems nice. I would be happy to change my review if real art was used instead.

It could be a nice minigame, but poor UI/UX, plus a couple of bugs, effectively prevent it. And that building of the rocket at the end of a map? It completely does not fit the game. Oh, and every part of the rocket has 25% chance of explosion every 4 seconds? So now I have to place 9 Thermal Regulators, each reducing the chance by 3%... There are mandatory parts, so 9 sounds quite a lot. Oh, and each part has 25% chance to malfunction every 4 seconds! Those simple rockets that you see on the screenshot? There is simply no chance for them to get to the orbit... Do you know how I won the first map after a few attempts? I had 4 thrusters just below the nose, and the part below them exploded... So a nose and 4 thrusters were the only 5 our of 20 parts that made it to the orbit... And in those lost parts I had fuel tanks, so I have no idea how the thrusters managed to work... [list] [*] cannot reassign a settler - you have to find where they are, click on the building, unassign them, and only then you can assign them to the new place - and you do this a lot, when they get sick or have low morale [*] rocket building doesn't have clear snap points [*] very few keyboard shortcuts [*] clunky interface, that sometimes stops responding [*] finding and clicking the buildings is annoying - e.g. when changing what material is consumed for research [*] research usage of resources is not considered in the income in the base overview [*] right clicking sometimes cancels the building, and sometimes rotates it instead [*] no overview that would show connections between buildings; or highlight certain buildings [/list] Finally, the game feels as too much of idle game - most of the time I spend just waiting for resources, to fire yet another rocket.
