I want to like this. I was a huge fan of GoF2. The controls and visuals in Stellar Wanderer are very similar which are a plus.
The problem is the level of difficulty in the beginning of the game is set to "nearly impossible". There is no way to explore, mine or do any side missions to build up your ship. If you dont stick to the mission, the player gets a failure message and the title screen before having to repeat the process all over again.
As a result, this game is like a reoccurring nightmare in a beautiful setting. I wouldnt recommend buying it at this point.
