Despite being known as an "unworthy" follow-up to the great game that was StarControl 2, this is not a bad game to be completely fair it's inferior to StarControl 2 for sure, the Music sounds older, the Puppets not only misrepresent the old races, but some got too deep into the "Uncanny Valley" BUT, Some songs are nice, some puppets are impressive, not all voices are bad, the story is okay, and the gameplay does...

I would mark my recommendation as "Maybe?" if there was an option to do so. I have some mixed feelings about this game. I bought this game as I had just finished replaying Star Control 2 and wanted to try the sequel and I was pretty hesitant when I found out that it wasn't done by the same original team. Needless to say, the 3$ price tag removed most of my big worries as I wouldn't be out much if it went south. This...

This is not the game that I had on computer in 1998. The controls are not the same, the galaxy spin is wildly out of control. For whatever reason, Stardock has acquired license and re-release of only a dos-box rom emulation for a game that had quality control variation. I don't know if this had to do with compatibility issues with later generations OS and CPU/GPU hardware evolution, but this version... just doesn't...

TL;DR version: I didn't like it. Long version good stuff: 1. It's a decent quality game if you take into account who made it and when they made it. 2. The voice acting and animation was unexectedly good for that time period. Long version bad stuff: 1. The puppets are creepy. And many of the puppets do not look at all like they did in SC:UQM (the previous game). 2. The dialog controls are clumsy. I can have a...

It's not as good as Star Control 2, but it has its moments. A must for Star Control fans.

I'm playing "Scan the mouse slowly to find the system that the quest system has named," also known as "Star Control: Kessari Quadrant". It's an impressive case study in how to make a sequel that contains a whole bunch of features that nobody had really done before at the time. Nobody with half a brain has done them since then either. I think the reason that I haven't quit is because the promo material was so...

For now, not really worth the time. Game port/controls appear to work somewhat, voice acting is appreciated. Does not appear to be worth the effort/nostalgia though.

Wow this aged poorly. Beat this back in the 90s, forgot about it. Bought it on a sale, can't believe how much worse this is than Star Control II. Good ideas, good writing, but ugly as hell and the campaign is not fun. The melee combat is good, but still ugly. Somehow looks worse than a much older game with lower detail graphics.

I love this game! That may be a hot take, but even if fueled by nostalgia, I thoroughly enjoy replaying this game once every ~5-8 years. I think a lot of the negative takes come from those who played StarCon2 first and also the fact that it wasn't created by the original creators that made 1 and 2. So I think a lot of my positive take comes from having played StarCon3 first. So if you've never played the series...
