Good game. Definely a little too hard. Played "the man who sold the world sector 2/3" like 20 times and cant beat it. It doesn't give you any additional help or ways to upgrade ahead of time before levels. Tried every ship, every officer combination and get to the final boss and die... then have to start over again from the beginning. And mind you this is like 45 minutes of playtime. And this is on "normal mode" not hard. So yes the difficulty levels are definitely out of proportion.

Really fun game with great mechanics and plot, but... a bit buggy and needing some quality of life upgrades. I wish I could save the position for my deployments instead of the default. Long press is also annoying. All things considered, great game with a lot of variety in the gameplay. I appreciate how most things have overlapping purposes, such as officers having ship stats and effects on solo missions.

Right off the bat, the soundtrack is amazing, perfectly fitting a dark, gritty and unforgiving technoverse. If you enjoy complex strategy games set in an unforgiving and hostile Galaxy, Crying Suns is the game for you. The only thing I would mention as a downside would be the small text which makes it harder to follow the deep storyline, but this is made easier through a well designed and accurate touch response. I generally use smaller phones so this might not be a problem for most. 10/10.
