Significant improvement since initial release

User Rating: 8 | Star Conflict MAC

The game has a feature to spend real money on their in game currency, which is galactic standards, but it's not necessary to have fun or win. you earn other in game currency that accumulates at a good enough rate to where this isn't a pay to play game. moreover, you can occasionally earn GS without purchasing them via special events. I haven't spent a single real U.S. dollar in the game and I've found myself able to compete with players who've purchased ships and upgrades with GS. if you've spent more than twenty USD in the game you've simply been unwise. you do have to grind a bit but due to the multiple different game modes you can avoid being bored. in addition to the variety of modes there are a variety of different styles of ships to play. Would recommend using PC as Macs will usually take a long time to load, although the game runs fine once you get there. many of the issues mentioned in the negative reviews here have been fixed via updates since then. A few negatives are that some of the ship modules and weapons aren't very good, so watch some youtube tutorials or reviews for advice before getting too deep in the game.
