The value story
It has been discounted 120 times in the 11 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 4 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Between the Stars ($9.89, scores 35) and Space Crew: Legendary Edition ($15.99, scores 36) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say
Had this for years and only now tried it out. It was boring, I flew around for 45 mins and the only thing that happened was citizens defecating in the streets, then they started a riot. I'm not going back to those poop filled streets, but I highly recommend star trek bridge crew.
2 more reviews, 2 not recommended
Clearly unfinished but for the $4 I paid it's well worth it. Good fun for an hour at a time. I expect to get about 20 hours before it gets old. *Update* Changed to Not Recommended. I really do like the game but the CTDs are game breaking. I still think it's worth the $4 it is right now but for the list price of $20 I would advise against the purchase.
Game... needs serious work. It's pretty but honestly that's about all it has going for it. It's a broken mess that isn't even remotely playable let a lone enjoyable. The problem is that you can;t get into the game because of a few seriously glaring issues: Understand also the following was on the "easiest Setting"... 1. Every 3 seconds something is wrong with the ship or crew. and it is impossible to play the game...
