Steam or android?

Looks like a fun game, anyone tried it on mobile?
Does it work just as well? Seems like a lot of ui for a small screen.

What would you recommend? I'd rather mobile as is cheaper and portable.

The only differences in the game are in UI scaling (and re-org as needed) as well as input controls. All content is the same. Yes, lots of players have tried it on mobile :D

Here is a link to the 5/5 star review on Pocket Tactics -

I've only ever played on mobile, but I'm very impressed with the UI, I don't think it would be any more convenient on a PC. I'd say if you are looking for a game on your mobile, get it on that.

It's not just a fun game, it's a great game and probably one of the bests you can play on a mobile.

Let's be clear, it's a real jewel.

Indeed, one of the best games available on mobile.

The only tiny nitpicks i have are only about the galaxy map. On a smaller phone screen, it's a little hard to tell the difference between the icons for the different planet settlement types (although i got used to it soon enough) or to tell the difference at a glance between the two blue & gold factions.

custom font size would help on android also!
like one size less and i couldnt read it anymore. a bit stressful for the eyes with a 5.9" screen.

This is by far the best money I have spent on mobile.

It's exactly what I want out a mobile game: a purchase price that is all inclusive with no in game purchases between me and the actual game, a variety of play styles strategy preferences, a game that doesn't punish you for being the bad guy, and turn based combat.

I don't usually by mobile game, because, for the most part, they aren't worth the money, or the game is just a grind for coins to continue to grind more efficiently for coins in order to use coins to play a slot machine for a different character to use while grinding coins.

This game is just fun to play. I even enjoy the challenge of the unlocks.

I really should get around to reviewing it on the Google Play store.

@mongo - we do hope you will leave a review :D Thanks for posting the encouraging words. We're a strong believer in being reasonable and fair in business, and that starts with never using consumable IAPs or coin-grind mechanics. Total trash.

[Captain_Narol]

So true ! You're the best Devs around !

Sorry to necro but any change to transfer Android version to Steam version? :D

[Trese Brothers]

No, only that out next game will include this feature.

[Libitardi]

Okay :( .. *sad noices*

Bless you for this. I actually only buy mobile games with an upfront fee and no in-game purchases. I can’t stand being nickel and dimed to death. I have no issue paying an upfront and known cost for games.

I own the game on PC and on my iPad. I play Star Traders almost exclusively on the iPad because there are so few good games for mobile.

I bought it on Google play and have been playing for over a year now and I can absolutely recommend it on android!

I gave it 5 stars 🌟
