New Review of version .35
« on: January 18, 2012, 09:19:26 AM »

Hi all,

I write a small tech and games review site, and have posted my thoughts on the frankly great Starfarer.

Please take 5 to have a read. http://illiteratereviews.com/2012/01/18/alpha-review-starfarer/

To sum up, I love the game, and expect it to become one of the shining stars of 2012

Keep up the good work.

Nice review! I also really like how the tactics come into play in the arcadey side in terms of whether to keep your shields up and keep shooting or drop them and take damage to your hull.

Although I don't know if I agree with you about it being worth it for $10 right now if the developer stops here :). It's fun, but it's a small distraction at best right now.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the review.

As for the $10 item, as it stands its about the cost of a pint and a packet of crisps, so far, I have had more time out of starfarer than i would a beer, and crisps....
