    Unplayable on switch, unless you use a magnifying glass.

    The whole game is very text heavy, which is fine if it was readable. The text is just far too small and impossible to play..

    What a waste of £20

    As a tactical rogue-lite, Crying Suns feels kind of unique. It has some things in common with FTL, but really it’s very much its own beast.

    If it doesn't offer the same depth of play or the same replayability as its model, Crying Suns offers something different. By deciding to take the reins and tell his own story rather than leaving his gaming systems in the hands of the player, he is sacrificing a bit of roleplay in favor of a sustained and well-narrated story. We still regret a lack of variety in the events and replayability impacted by vessels a little too similar. Still, Crying Suns is a pleasant storytelling space odyssey from start to finish.

    Crying Suns is still as much of an engaging tactical space battler as it ever was. It has an interesting story that is beautifully presented, sounds great and a welcome addition to the Switch library. Alt Shift has tweaked and updated it since the initial release and the game is just that little bit more refined for the effort. I would have scored this current version a little higher than I did in 2019 but the clunky controls re-level the playing field.
