Really fun game with great mechanics and plot, but... a bit buggy and needing some quality of life upgrades. I wish I could save the position for my deployments instead of the default. Long press is also annoying. All things considered, great game with a lot of variety in the gameplay. I appreciate how most things have overlapping purposes, such as officers having ship stats and effects on solo missions.

great game but the tutorial could be better.
- Luka Bajic · v3.0.3
jeezzz.. the gameplay might be simple but the story is top of the class.. 5 stars all the way
- Adam Assegaff · v3.0.3
This game is exactly what games and mobile gaming is supposed to be. Thorough and complete experience with very decent replayability. There could be a million games like this out there. Instead there are millions of trash cash grabs, and only a few gems like this. Thank you for making Crying Suns.

favorite game
- Jessica Cowns · v3.0.3
Good game. Wish option to keep going with same ship.
- john Withers · v3.0.3
great game, I finished it and got all endings but I wish there was more of a conclusion to all of them.
- war rage · v3.0.3
very fun tactical space game with rpg rts elements highly recommend.
- Patrick West · v3.0.3
Good game. Definely a little too hard. Played "the man who sold the world sector 2/3" like 20 times and cant beat it. It doesn't give you any additional help or ways to upgrade ahead of time before levels. Tried every ship, every officer combination and get to the final boss and die... then have to start over again from the beginning. And mind you this is like 45 minutes of playtime. And this is on "normal mode" not hard. So yes the difficulty levels are definitely out of proportion.
- Amadeus · v3.0.3
Good stuff. Much like FTL I wish for extra depth and grinding permanent bonuses but still quite good.
- Nick · v3.0.3
This is a great game in its own right, one of the best mobile games I've ever played. the soundtrack, sound design, the visual effects, the story, gameplay, are all GREAT. There's a few different endings so there's some replayability. I would recommend having a stylus to play. I have a phablet with a stylus and it makes gameplay a lot better. I even played this game on my phone with an external mouse, keyboard, and monitor, and it's great there too. Definitely worth it. No ads in the game.
- Chris West · v3.0.3
reminds me heavily of FTL. but the battle mechanics are More intuitive and Fun. but definitely filling the FTL Void that I been missing out on.
- Loki · v3.0.3
Very good vame with really compelling dialogue and great ship combat. I was turned off from it for a long time because of the initial dialogue dump being quite ling and me just wanting to play space battles. This seems like a very long game. Only just finished the first chapter, which took hours. I think there are 7 or 8?
- Isaiah Daniels · v3.0.3
Absolutely no regrets at all. It's a great FTL like whose UI elements were just large enough to survive the port to mobile with a bit of squinting. Beautiful art assets, good writing, and great music to boot. I can hardly put it down, and I say that as someone who usually hates mobile gaming. Very well done!
- Jason Eiserman · v3.0.3
Don't get addicted
- 眼看他楼塌了 · v3.0.3
it's just 🤌✨️ beautiful! But come on. hey... without a cloud save is kinda annoying don't you think?
- Elton Djony · v3.0.3
very fun and well made game
- Solar Fields · v3.0.3
I bought this because my phone can't install xcom or xcom2. I thought the low resolution would be fine, but it's very difficult to read the low-res text, especially when in a moving vehicle which is when I usually play. Aside from that, so far it's been challenging, which is a good thing as long as I can work out how to progress past the first chapter.
- Murray Gunn · v3.0.3
Very worth the cost and relaxing to play at night. Bought this game a while ago, and beat it. I returned to play it again and there are two more factions that you have to deal with. Both could care less about the mission but give good rewards for a hard fight. I think the game needs some secret ships or Officers that have 6 to 9 skills as rewards for tough battles.
- Jason Alexander
Honestly never thought a mobile RTS would be this interesting to me. I've beaten the first 2 sectors so far and it's been a lot of fun, the atmosphere is immaculate. The game also runs really well on my older device which is quite nice.
- Josh · v3.0.3
over complicated.

Right off the bat, the soundtrack is amazing, perfectly fitting a dark, gritty and unforgiving technoverse. If you enjoy complex strategy games set in an unforgiving and hostile Galaxy, Crying Suns is the game for you. The only thing I would mention as a downside would be the small text which makes it harder to follow the deep storyline, but this is made easier through a well designed and accurate touch response. I generally use smaller phones so this might not be a problem for most. 10/10.
- Rami El Refai · v3.0.3
Finished my first playthrough of the game. I can say without a doubt this is easily the BEST mobile game I have ever played! The story is really well written and while you can run into the same events a couple times, the game always stays fresh and interesting! This game is worth the 8$ and I got it for free with Play Pass. Combat is easy to learn and has versatility. You feel like your decisions actually matter. Wish I had more room to type to say all the good things about this game. 10/10
- Chris Mefford · v3.0.3
Very fun space exploration game with a decent story and solid combat
- Caleb Wedge · v3.0.3
Best game I have ever played on my phone
- Marshall White · v3.0.3

- Luke Woodbury · v3.0.3
Excellent story with strategic gameplay
- Anthony Santilo · v3.0.3
On my google pixel 7 the font is too small to read. There is no option to increase font size.
- Marc Scarfone · v3.0.3
haven't finished it yet but the game is awesome. it is a simple yet very well designed game. the story pulls you in more and more as you play the game and the game mechanics are clear and easy to get a hang of. the progression feels satisfying as well. I especially love how even side encounters have a very nice depth to it. can only recommend this game and is definitely worth it's price tag
- nico rennau · v3.0.3
I am super picky with games, this one got me. For ref I only have S.Valley and an rts. once you get the swing it's a great mix of atory/graphics.
- Dana · v3.0.3
very fun and unique
- Joel T Senior · v3.0.3
Amazing. Wish this was the standard for modern gaming.
- Joey q · v3.0.3
cool game 👍👍👍👍
- Leivy Larry Lopez Lemmel · v3.0.3
FTL but based and giving me a reason to care about the lives of my officers beyond their gameplay value. battles need a slowmo
- Machado Agustin · v3.0.3
Might be interesting on a tablet. Fonts and extensive dialog and such too small to play comfortably on my phone. Gave up before actually getting to do much.
- David Reed · v3.0.3
It's peak.
- Daniel DePoy · v3.0.3
Just a fantastic game that isn't a money grabber
- Parker · v3.0.3
Great strategic roguelite gameplay. Absolute must play if you enjoy Into The Breach.
- David Hatfield · v3.0.3
I don't know what kind of cynical people made this game, but it's as if they are trying to convince people never to be kind or helpful....
- Matthew

- Mike Montreuil · v3.0.3
