What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
StarDrive 2 is a space 4X strategy game that draws strong praise for its ship building and customization system, with some players comparing it favorably to Stellaris as a more affordable alternative, though it requires using the test version to run on modern PCs. The primary complaints center on perceived anti-player AI design with unfair mechanics like unlimited enemy fleet spawning and resource generation, coupled with poor feedback systems in combat and research that make gameplay feel tedious and unrewarding.
Since I can't play this game on modern pc's I want a refund.3 found this helpful
I have played for over 500 hundred hours. This game is ♥♥♥♥ dont buy it. Game is buggy and have a ♥♥♥♥ ton of anti player mechanics design to slow you down and ♥♥♥♥ you over. Why do the master fleets only target the player? Why do enemy races suddenly ally themselves to each other when the player is winning? All "random" events just ♥♥♥♥ you over. All "diplomacy" ♥♥♥♥♥ you over. You think your winning? A master fleet spawns on the opposite of your empire and blows up everything causing you to lose money like crazy and your ships abandoning you or joining enemy empires. Ai has no range limit like the player who is limited by fuel. Think your system is safe far from the front lines? Ai suddenly appears with a giant ass fleet ready to ♥♥♥♥ you over. The ai cannot run out of money and can produce huge fleets with no economy. If they are near broke they are gifted 100 gold+ per turn. The ai empires cannot have their planets starved to death like yours can. If you go over the command points cap you lose hundreds of gold per turn. The ai doesnt care about the cp cap because they dont lose money from going over their cap. ♥♥♥♥ this game and ♥♥♥♥ the greedy ass abandonware creator. 4x games…2 found this helpful
If you don't want to pay 5 gorillion Dollar for Stellaris and wanna play singleplayer then this is digital Crack.1 found this helpful
MUST USE TEST VERSION TO PLAY ON NEWER MACHINES! after doing so enjoy! this game is quite similar to stellaris and Masters of orion. The BEST feature in my opinion is the ship building aspect and how its visually represented. super fun game, glad people kept it alive.1 found this helpful
I have been trying to like this game for a decade, in-between straight up theft and the key i bought for this at the cost of a special needs hamster, and i'm going to be real - it's just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. There is not a single reedeming thing about this game, barring *wanting* to like it beause the ship designer is neat unfortunately, the things surrounding the ship designer, from combat - events - research - anything just lack any and all feedback, be it positive or negative you sit on your imaginative laurels passing endless turns while (not interesting, mind) things #happen in the background and the moment is here, combat, finally. Then you watch your ships just kinda circle around shooting things at the enemy, and your only feedback is a generic font of damage numbers and individually clicking vessels to see what state of damage they're at... you will 90% not know why or how things played out for you to win or lose. I am simply convinced anyone that genuinely likes this unfinished game, birthed from an even more abandoned game, is suffering from stockholm syndrome. For what it's worth, at least the damn thing runs on windows 10 just fine - anyone that is running windows 11 must hav…
Excellent Game!
