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.

Hands down the best mobile game I've ever played. Pros: Great Pixel art Fun Combat Cheap Hours of enjoyment Great story! You get constant refreshers so the game doesn't punish you for putting it down. Gripes: By chapter 2/3 you know all the beacon event choices to make, and you just repeat them over and over again. I would pay for a PC version of this game that had 3-4x more events, and story options. The ship selection is a little lack luster.

I played this first on PC when epic had it for free and kept thinking "this would be a great game for the phone" and I was right ha. The story is interesting, the combat is fun, but the whole game is in your planning. If you like strategy games, maybe something like xcom or civilization, you'll probably like this. Resource management is key, plus a little luck. Graphics are pretty nice for mobile too. I've been playing this for hours now and it's just a few bucks, I say try it out!
