story
2,242 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in "Between the Stars" is a central aspect that has garnered mixed reviews from players. Many appreciate its engaging narrative and character development, often comparing it to classic space operas, while others find it predictable or lacking depth. The game features a text-heavy storytelling approach with choices that can impact the outcome, but some players feel that the story can become repetitive and is hindered by bugs and unfinished content, leading to a desire for more variety and completion in future updates. Overall, while the story has potential and is enjoyable for many, it is still a work in progress that requires further development.
“Whether you’re a fan of space operas or just love the thrill of commanding your own starship, Between the Stars offers a gripping experience that’ll keep you coming back for 'just one more mission.' So, captain, are you ready to take the helm and save the galaxy?”
“Ultimately, this game is about enjoying the story and seeing how your decisions impact what happens.”
“The story has its cheesy clichés, but it's still better than the majority of what Hollywood produces: you can actually find space to care for some of the characters, and sometimes making what seems like the right choice actually has consequences for good and ill.”
“I did not find the story inspiring.”
“From the lackluster, painfully boring story, to the incredibly simplistic combat (just keep clicking on the enemy ship until it explodes), this game doesn't improve in any way over games in the same genre.”
“The story, which should serve as the backbone of any RPG, is another disappointment.”
