Description: Frantic Freighter is a rather simple game with a simple premise: get some cargo from planet A to planet B. However, staying alive & reaching your destination isn’t easy! Every time you use your warp drive, an important system will likely break down. Hopefully, you’ll have a part to fix it! Friendly planets, stations & ships may have spare parts for you or information on nearby points of interest. Pirates will try to chase you down for your cargo, so hopefully, your cloaking & shields systems are available when needed! Successfully deliver your package to unlock random special challenge modes!
Review: Frantic Freighter is an odd game for sure. It’s a bit like a weird space adventure in which your ship breaks apart every 5 seconds and you need to fix it or find something. I just never really felt like I knew what was going on. You just seem to be constantly repairing the ship and then when you take too long to do just that you die. Even for £1.99, I have to question if it is worth a download as it is so random and unstructured. I think it might be, provided you take a lot more time to get into the game. I haven’t got 1hr plus to get into the game so I just have to go on how it feels for the first few moments and this game it wasn’t good, but maybe it gets better.
