What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Drifter Star: Evolution has a small dedicated fanbase that enjoys its incremental gameplay mechanics, but most players find it repetitive and poorly balanced, with significant issues including a pause bug during upgrades, unfair difficulty spikes, lack of save functionality for long play sessions, and an overwhelming number of equally-sized enemies that make progression feel impossible. The consensus among critics is that even at a low price, the game feels barebones and lacks the careful design that inspired similar games in the genre.

Even for its low price, it's super barebones and it lacks the thing that the games which inspired it (like slither.io) always have: which is to say, there will only ever be larger celestial bodies at most 2 'levels' above you. Further, there is a bug that means the game sometimes doesn't pause when you have to pick an upgrade, and this will almost always get you killed if you take more than a second to select. Additionally, when you reach the stage where you evolve into a star, suddenly there are way less other planets around, usually leading to you being stuck running from a bigger star or a black hole, while trying to evolve without dying. This gets especially bad at the black hole stage, where sometimes you'll just be chased by two black holes orbiting each other, while literally nothing else spawns besides miniscule asteroids, making evolution take forever. The idea behind the game is great, but the execution is lacking severely, the evolutions you can pick don't impact each other in literally any way, and a single run is short and not that satisfying, even when you do beat it to reach one of four endings. The "strategic evolution tree" that mentions different evolutionary p…

this is the worst game i have ever played. this game is just the definition of theres always a bigger fish in the sea because everytime i get even the start of a new planet there is 32 new planets that are the same size as me with 5x the gravitational pull then there is always the planet above me and there is 7 of them that only go for me. who could have possibly thought it would be a good idea to make essentially a wave of zombies faster than you bigger than you stronger than you and takes all of your resources you collect to become stronger. this is the worst game i have possibly played. oh and did i forget to mention how there is literally no save files for a multi hour long game? Cause there is no save files for a multi hour long game. ah yes let me sit still for 5 hours playing the most repetitive game there possibly is.
