Icarus Starship Command Simulator

Absolutely worth the price. The humor in the game is top notch, great fast paced action as everything is real-time with no pausing. The interface looks clunky at first but I actually find it very user friendly and quick to do what you need. As others have mentioned, if you played FTL and liked it, then you will like Icarus Starship Command. Very similar gameplay except that you do a lot more as the captain and of course it is played from a First Person View. Lots of replay value as the map is random and you have to make different choices on how to upgrade your ship based on resources you find. You really cant go wrong at the price offered.

I bought this years ago, but for some reason I never played it until now. If you like FTL but want a more immersive experience, get this.

This game is very enjoyable and a great way to spend a dozen hours. You should buy it and support this sort of thing.

This is a really fun game, its essentially FTL but in 3D. Now this game is by no means perfect nor does it have a ton of depth. What it does have is a simple and fun game play, replay value, interesting mechanics, and a great price. Gameplay The overall gameplay is to move between sectors and address the situation presented, similar to FTL. The situations are mostly combat based, but sometimes you get an option to buy things, or explore a spacestation/object. The battle mechanics ship to ship combat is pretty easy. You pick the target systems by priority and your ship will target them as they take each out. There is also the personal fighting which occurs on either your ship or theirs, this consists of basic FPS mechanics. Right now the FPS component is a bit shallow, but the dev has noted its being worked on. Pros: - Great price - Simple and fun gameplay - Great replay value, as its different each time - dev support Cons: - Tutorial is weak at best, there needs to be a detailed manual. Many features, elements, and mechanics are never explained; which requires you to contact the dev directly. While the dev is helpful the fact that they can add a ton of context and make the game easier to learn and play with simple text exchanges, points to the fact that we need more customer support. - Some elements are clearly in development. There are some components that are clearly not done, they will completed im sure but gaps that make it feel not done. I.e. communication between ships 100% of the time is no response. Overall: i would recommend this game to anyone and everyone. Its fun, its different, and cheaper than it should be. Once we get a bit more customer support and finish up a few features this will become a top game for me just like FTL.

Great little indie game. Even more impressive to have been created by one person. The game feels like a 3D FTL. Interesting game mechanics and an unique idea. Well worth the price tag that will net you some fun play time for a several hours. My biggest complaint: The idea for commandeering other space craft is awesome but suffers same problem as Pixel Piracy. In that its more effective to wait and steal a better ship then invest resources into upgrading your own ship.

Hatalmas dicséretet érdemel ez a játék. Kicsit nehezen, de végre rájöttem a működésére. Minden funkciójával elégedett vagyok! A retro kinézetű űr robotok, vagy legyenek akármik! :D iszonyatosan jó hangulatot adnak a játéknak. A hajó management is jó, a teleportálás remek ötlet volt! Hangulatos az egész és élvezetes. Grafikáját mondhatnánk gyengéjének, de szerintem ez a sármja és ez is csak hozzá ad az élményhez. Mintha egy régi játékkal játszanánk, amik valljuk be sokszor köröket vernek az újonnan kiadott modern cuccokra. Én tényleg csak ajánlani tudom, főleg úgy hogy steam kártyákból összehozott 0,8 euróért vettem. Tehát ingyen volt gyakorlatilag! És mégis megfogott!!!! Ilyen gyöngyszemeket találni mindig jó érzés!

BUY IT If you like FTL but thought it would be nice to board the ships yourself. This is your game. The Ability to walk around and board ships and space station is a really nice feature, yet somehow he's only charging $4 when he could've easily charged $10-$20 +Only four ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dollars! +Upgradeable (did I spell that right?) ships +High replay value +Can jump out of captain's seat to repel boarders or board enemy ships and steal them +Can store extra crew to man systems +Developer still makes improvments -Very limited weapon choice, especially for ships -Crew members will die very quickly in close combat -Limited variety of scenarios -Crew members will go mad and break your stuff in some parts of the galaxy Considering this was made by one guy and the fact that he charged so little. I would say he's done a great job making this.

Good bang for the buck.
