Limitless Fortune: Orbital Trade and Investment

I enjoyed the game’s setup and retro leaning. It’s a good interface but more than a bit buggy on my third or fourth time of playing it. In game time I got to around 500 months in and it started crashing. Many times the crashes cost me dearly in gameplay time. I hope the bugs can be exterminated soon. I enjoyed playing until all the crashes. Update: I closed previous game and started over. All went well until I mistakenly tapped “engage” on the second (glitch) cancel/engage option that often comes up when “traveling” between bases. After that the game often crashed when “traveling” to another base. I eventually ended that game and started again. This is a little glitch that can certainly stop any significant forward progress in the game. The game itself is quite enjoyable in play. I’m sure with the fixing of this glitch it will be thoroughly enjoyable.

Absolutely love this game. If it weren’t for the glitches I would continue to play non stop. Please fix the glitches. Please make a sequel. I’d pay to play another game just like this but updated with new ships. New places to go. Perhaps out of our solar system. Use Star Trek as a guide and make warp drives or use stargate as a guide and use FTL drives. To be able to update and customize the ships. Update and customize home base. You could really make another one and it would be a hit.

This is a good basic space trading game set apart by some sophisticated economics I haven’t seen elsewhere. The Financials and Investing screens are super cool, although not much integrated with the rest of the gameplay. (And gold seems like a curious investment option, wouldn’t plutonium or vibranium have been more thematic? It can be buggy, which has been commented on in other reviews. My main gripe is that play becomes less, not more interesting when you reach the outer planets. Travel times get so long that it slows the game to a crawl; it’s nearly impossible reach Uranus, Neptune & Pluto in time to exploit commodity surpluses & shortages. The bones of a good game are here, with some intriguing features but it needs more development to become outstanding.

I like this game because it is easy to play but after a while the game starts to present a confirm box to the same, or often different, destination in the middle of a trip (after that trip was confirmed). Once your wealth gets into the billions, it becomes very frequent. At some point later, it just crashes. It could use some variations from game to game as to what each planet imports or exports. After you've played a while, and start a new game, it sticks you into the tutorial without option to bypass. This game is addictive, if somewhat mind numbing - a solitaire feel. I would definitely give it a five if it weren’t for these issues.

I got tired of all the other games and genres. This was an amazing find. I was hooked immediately and enjoy the strategy. Here are the bugs that keep it from 5 stars: While traveling random boxes appear asking if you’re ready to go to another planet, as if you haven’t left. Screens start lagging during travel. Crashes happen after arriving and trading causing you to go back to previous planet and lose multimillion dollar deals since markets and planet alignments are changed again. When sound is disabled it will turn back on each time game is opened or crashes.
