Crying Suns Hack 3.0.1 + Redeem Codes

Dear developers, the game is experiencing very frequent crashes, mostly during battles when multiple units were individually selected for different targets. Please do a hot fix on this since certain events (Dual enemy ship encounters or triple like the final chapter boss) are utterly unplayable due to reloading from the start, if this cannot be fixed, please consider adding an auto save right after one of those fights during the encounter, thank you!
Edit: The game crashes when double tapping a unit on the battlefield, so far it yields an 100% crash rate, additionally, squadrons like parasite, juggernaut will also cause game to crash when using their abilities. When more than 5 or more squadrons are engaged in asteroid terrains, the game also seems to crash too. Also, a few times the game crashed when the enemy is using ship weapons against my squadrons.
Hopefully this helps, I’m still testing to see if there were other crashing triggers.

Really love how they make you feel like a starship commander and the storyline so far, and I’ve only finished chapter 1! A few things keep it from being 5 stars. 1. The graphics feel a bit small and are sometimes hard to parse, I can’t imagine this playable on a smaller screen than 11”. Would love some kind of zoom when selecting tiles, even just a little would help a lot. I don’t need to see both ships when I’m telling my drones where to fly for example. 2. Some of the pixel art doesn’t seem to scale down right, like the terrain on surface missions looks like a mess of pixels, I tried the PC demo and they were clear there. Not sure what resolution this is running, but give us a higher resolution level for iPad pros! 2. The controls are mostly well implemented, but I can’t figure out how to cancel ship weapons without restarting their timers, and I’ve accidentally bought things in shops because I swiped too slow since there isn’t a confirm box there. Little things like that are frustrating. Overall though I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys spaceship combat, strategy, or who loved FTL. Can’t wait to play more!

I downloaded this game because of the App Store recommendation, and I was not let down. The visuals and story are mysterious and interesting and the music is great. I love how some elements are clearly influenced by other science fiction games/films/books such as the intro cutscene, which appears to be heavily inspired by The Matrix. The combat takes some getting used to, partially because I have not discovered a way to review old tutorials, but once you gain a basic understanding it becomes much more fluid and engaging. One suggestion: I would greatly appreciate if you make it so that you can select a ship’s target/route before it actually spawns on the battlefield? I find it annoying to have to pause the action to place the squadron, unpause to let it spawn, and then pause again to select enemy squadrons or systems.

I hate long-presses. This game is a lot of long-press and tap sequences, for little reward. Annoying. My hangar has two ship slots. Filled. Lets change deployed ships. Tap “squadrons”. Expands that command area. Tap a ship. Details come up. But the list of replacements doesn’t. Even though there is plenty of room. Tap ship in hangar again, maybe that will give option to replace. Nope, closes the detail popup. Long-press ship dock. That removes the ship. Doesn’t bother to open the list of undeployed ships! Click empty dock. Finally get ship list. Tap one. All that happens is details popup. Seriously?! Gets worse in battle. Because I frequently need to long-press dock-with-ship, I accidentally long-press a long-range weapon that has been charging for ten seconds. Instantly undeploys, without any warning. Fine, time is stopped, so do the multiple steps needed to get it back. Of course the 10 seconds of arming starts over. Land on planet. Watch a sequence of random events that you have no control over. Having fun yet? No. Uninstall. Story is mildly interesting, so I gave it 2 stars.

• Story Engaging (No long wall text) that assault eyes like some games. Very well written, easy to follow.. deep story w/ linear conversation tree mechanic - meant to give you deeper understanding of story, by asking questions. Which you will !

• Onion layers here with the depth of...

- Ship Abilities
- Officer Abilities
- Cool Down Abilities
- Rock, Paper & Scissor Mechanics (a classic game mechanic)

• Beautiful Art Work (I’m screen capping all over the place) so I can save as wall paper on my iPad Pro 12.9

• Mixture of Turn Based Tactics & Real Time Strategy.
Civ 6 -meets- Rome Total War?
In regards to mixing these two cadences.

• Compelling, mysterious atmosphere. It will pull you.

• I’m that one strange person, that could never get into FTL, and I tried. Crying Suns does not have FTL vibes to me. It’s own thing in my eyes. Crying Suns gives me XCOM vibes for whatever reason.

I’m still learning this game, about 4 star visits in.. but I had to give this game a 5 star. I’ve been a NON free to play gamer for over 30 years. I know my way around the block - This is a premium gem.

My only wish... in the future it receives PVP.
I would love to test these tactics & strategies versus human minds!

The story kept me engaged enough to finish on easy. But the combat is not much fun. When I was done on easy I went back to try the game on normal. Even when you get some synergy it’s just not very satisfying. The ships should not be called “battleships”, they don’t have hardly any capital ship weapons just anti fighter guns and the whole combat revolves around a rock, paper, scissors of different fighter types. The graphics would have looked great 20 years ago but I’m not a huge fan of the “hey let’s go retro for the graphics” look that is popular now. Though some of it is attractive, like seeing an enemy ship blow up and some of the artistic cutscenes. Also, long before I finished the game I was already seeing many of the same NPC stories repeatedly. The game needs: Battleship weapons More of the random story content A better combat system I will continue to try the combat on medium but it’s really not feeling fun now that the story is done.

There are five chapters and three sections for each chapter. As you go along you collect scrap which is used for upgrades. You also need to collect fuel which is also used for upgrades. The dumbest part of the game is that after each chapter you start the next chapter completely from scratch. You don’t have access to anything you collected besides maybe an officer (still can’t figure out how they determine that non-sense).
If you die during the chapter, yep, start over from scratch. And then to top it all off, a lot of “missions” are a coin toss but good luck coming out ahead even 50% of the time.
This has to be one of the lamest, most frustrating games I’ve ever played and I wish I could trade it in or at least snap the disk so no one else has to deal with my mistake.
The reason it gets the one star instead of zero, is because the story is somewhat engaging. Good luck trying to get through it though.

The storyline and gameplay in this game is great. Well worth the 9 dollars it costs. I only have 2 main issues with this game. First, it has some minor tech issues which include my phone getting pretty hot and also occasional random frame drops, the second is the fact that I quickly figured out who was behind the shutdown, but couldn’t progress to them and instead had to go thru all the different sectors. However don’t let that stop you from getting this game as the story is incredible and makes the game get y hard to put down. Overall 9/10

Crying Suns is a resource tipping-point adventure game with a tactical combat sub-theme. A lot of thought and effort went into the story, game mechanics, and art. It’s been really fun playing on an iPad.

I have two criticisms that I hope will turn into improvements. First, the story is very angsty and difficult to believe. There are a few truly mature motives, and most enemies you meet want you to kill them. No one in the entire game, except perhaps its protagonist, wants to live a free and happy life, even through trouble. It must have been written by a teenager or a nerd.

Second, tactical combat takes a backseat to resource extraction and purchasing. It would be more to fun play against a more complex enemy AI as long as there were a flattened reward curve for resource gathering and purchasing efficiency.

The most fun part of the game was role-playing as Captain Picard, organizing away missions, conducting fleet battles, interacting with different factions, and exploring. In my opinion Crying Suns is still one of the best games available for the iPad as of 2022. Recommended.

Bought this game since it reminded me of elite dangerous and FTL and my god it has scratched that itch. But my one annoyance is that there is a bug with the juggernaut ship where if you are moving into kill them with the juggernaut ship and get the hull driver ability to pop off (large damage to battleship) then the game crashes out. Doesn’t matter what encounter. If hull driver kills then it crashes. Please devs fix this, I love the game but this bugs me to no end every time it happens. If this and other bugs were fixed then review would be higher.
To anyone who wants to play, it’s a great game but expect bugs crashing you out of the game.
