User Reviews for Seedship
Simple yet engaging text-based game with a very neat concept
I really have to give the developer props for this game. The text-based gameplay is very simple, but there’s an element of strategy and even morals when making tough decisions; for example, do you let some of your colonists die, or do you let your scanners/databases malfunction? There’s a huge amount of scenarios, and no playthrough is ever the same. It’s especially entertaining when you finally decide to land on a planet, and you get to read what happens after your colonists wake up and begin settling. As a bonus, this game is totally free, and (as far as I can tell) there are no advertisements or in-app purchases, other than a donation button. Thanks for making a quality game without monetizing the hell out of it, I think I just might hit that donation button ;)
Best game I’ve ever played!
This game is amazing! Every time I play the results are different, and the random events make this game challenging, but not to much. This game is like no other game I’ve ever played. If you want a good sci-fi RPG, download this right now! Don’t listen to the one star reviews of this game, they’re just complaining. One of my favorite parts of this game is that you can look back at your results of each play through, and it ranks them from best to worst. If I were to have one complaint about this game, it would be that the civilizations can get corrupted to easily even if you only lose a small amount of your humans. But it’s fine. It doesn’t really bother me all that much. So overall, amazing game! Download now!
Highly Recommended
Thoughtful, compelling game where you must choose a planet for a small band of human colonists to settle on. Your sensors scan planet after planet, delivering readouts on temperature, atmosphere, gravity, and etc. for you to consider. There is a poignancy to this game--your settlers are the last survivors of our species; the writing is simple but beautiful; pop-up events force you to make moral as well as material decisions--and you will find yourself coming back to it again and again. You can run micro-playthrough after micro-playthrough, or you can pursue a particularly long session--be aware that the game becomes harder the longer you play, as the ship becomes increasingly damaged (but also increasingly accurate, scanner-wise). You will need to brave a long playthrough to find a true second Earth! Five stars. No microtransactions. No internet connection needed. Deceptively simple, but deep and affecting.
Decent
The concept is amazing, and those first few games are just as amazing. As you play more and more games however, it does get pretty boring. You can go a dozen games without running into something new, but because it occasionally spits out a very rare, low chance event, you still want to keep playing even though your heart isn’t in it and you’re just mindlessly playing.I think overall, it’s a very good game, but it could be improved with a percentage complete tracker or achievement list so we know when we’ve seen everything and perhaps a bit less random chance for the events you haven’t seen yet.I would rate this 3.5/5, but that doesn’t exist so I rounded it up. I would play again though when I’ve forgotten about the events though.
Amazing time killer
I think it was about a year or two ago I installed Seedship. I did not expect much and it was more of a random install than anything. Even when I was starting the game for the first time I thought “am I really going to enjoy this?” But then after about 10 minutes I began to saw how in-depth and interesting the gameplay was despite its simplicity.This is honestly one of the best free-to-play games on the App Store. A single game definitely will probably not last you 10 minutes, but there are plenty of different endings, scenarios, and outcomes you can strive to get. There is no “correct” choice in this game, everything you do *will* have a risk and the riskier it is, the higher the reward can be. You need to decide which part of the ship you want to prevent from being damaged as you travel across the galaxy, trying to find a new home for humanity. Will your faith in aliens be rewarded? Or will the Seedship and humanity suffer immensely? Do you let an asteroid hit the colonist sleep chambers? Or do you avoid it and allow it to hit somewhere else that may be more important? Do you settle for a planet that is not exactly perfect for mankind? Or do you risk humanity losing more of itself by trying to find a better planet?
Fantastic, period.
It's such a simple concept, but complex in what you can do with it, and the stories you can make up to go along with it. I always play as a classic over-zealous AI, one whose primarily goal, to preserve the lives of its passengers at all costs, forces it to disregard the idea of landing at all costs, instead opting to keep searching indefinitely at the expense of every other system besides life support, because it thinks that's the only way to ensure their safety. (It's also just pretty fun to get all the systems as damaged as possible without failing. My record is all scanners gone except gravity at 7%, only 3% on the landing system, 353 passengers remaining, both databases completely depleted, and no remaining surface probes.)I'd really love some new random events, and I think the idea of some rare random event actually changing the AI's goal from finding a suitable host planet, to instead just letting the remaining humans live out their lives on board would be cool. I think it should be a diffucult ending to get however, with the need to somehow bring back some resources from planets you pass by, and then to completely deplete the landing system.
Recommend
Seedship is a text-based game where you play as an AI, tasked with guiding humanity to a new planet to call home. You must scan each of the planets you come to and decide whether to start a colony or move on. This game has a fun blend of strategy and luck. Even if you’ve seen a scenario before, you can’t predict how it’ll play out because every time is different. I like all of the elements and details that go into this game (planet descriptions, aliens relations, etc). There’s even some fun “secret” endings, like settling on a terraformed planet as an alien experiment, or living on a simulated planet made by superior AI. Even though the concept of the game is similar every play-through, you won’t ever have the exact same journey twice. If you’re bored and looking for something to play, I’d recommend this game!
A game that makes you the AI
Seedship is an absolutely wonderful game, but between its complex moral decisions, risks and rewards, and deceptively simple gameplay, my favorite thing has to be how the game connects you to the story.In the context of the game, you are an AI created to find a second home for humanity, and to think like a human. At first this seemed like a cute way of putting the player into the game, but the more I played the more I realized it was true. To an AI, and to me as a player, the colonists were just numbers on a screen. I wanted them to survive and thrive, yes, but in the end my mission was to win the game. I made some decisions based on human biases, but they weren’t clouded by fear or panic or loneliness like they would if they were made by an actual member of the crew. I commanded a faceless army of sleeping colonists, and whether or not they succeeded was my priority, yes, but it didn’t make me cry myself to sleep because I’d killed hundreds of colonists.The game truly does make you feel like the AI in charge, and that’s just one of the beautiful things about the story. I highly recommend this game, which can deliver a beautiful, heartfelt sci-fi narrative in just a few minutes with a few paragraphs of text.
Good SciFi Story Game with Alot Potential
Good SciFi Story Game With Alot PotentialIf you’re interested in a story based game in a sci-fi space travel setting then this is worth a check out and a try I’d say. Whole premise of the game is basically you’re the AI Captain of a human colony ship looking for a habitual planet but with that said the journey won’t be easy. The decisions that need to made are thought provoking and are overall well done in that respect but playing overtime I felt it can get a little repetitive. The various planets descriptions though are really good in my opinion and quite detailed so that you can have a good image in your mind of the places as you play and I think that’s really cool. I hope they can add more to the game as it seems once you choose a planet it’s practically over and you need to start again I would personally prefer the game to continue on after landing and continue to make more choices for the colonists but it’s not really like that sadly /: Overall the game is a fun journey through space and the descriptions are very detailed and well made through out and I find it really engaging and fun to play through but I just hope they add more life to the game after you choose to land perhaps later on :) I’m going to give it a 4/5 Stars. Thanks for reading.
Pretty good but not long-term
If you’re looking for a simple-but-engaging game that will just entertain you on a work break or the like, this game is great. Very random and thought-provoking, since you’re in charge of the survival and future happiness of the entire human race. If you wait too long before finding a planet to settle on, you risk humanity’s scientific and cultural data being lost due to collisions with space debris, and then the new normal for humanity ends up being either a low tech or very unenlightened society (dystopia).The games last about 5-10 minutes each, with no carryover from one to another. I’d love it if it were more long term, but mostly you just watch your ship’s capabilities degrade from accidents and emergencies, and have to choose a final world that you don’t love, each time. Can’t really complain, since it’s a free game with no ads 😋
