This game is fun and unique but it gets really repetitive. There are too many locations in the game where essentially nothing happens. On the locations that things do happen there isn't enough variety to the events. After a couple play throughs you'll see the same events over and over again. Some times in the same run. I would give this game a positive review if there were more events but they would need to at least triple them and make sure you don't see the same ones in the same run.

Hello and thank you for your feedbacks,

We heard your comment and worked on some solutions to improve the game on several aspects you mentioned, especially on events diversity:

- We lowered the repetitiveness of some events. Following multiple players reports that a small group of events appeared very frequently, we conducted a complete audit of the event procedural generation. We found several blocking issues that were provoking statistical aberrations. We also found that we had too much constraints on events generations (related to graphical environments, gamedesign constraints or POI types) which made **20 to 30 events to be mostly picked against the few hundreds of them (!)** We conducted a complete redesign of our approach and **the repetitions of events should occur a lot less often now.** A lot of events that were almost never picked before should now reappear and most of the time there shouldn't be much repetition between two consecutive full runs.

- We improved replayability by adding a chapter selector when you finished the game once, allowing you to replay any chapter with any of the officers and battleships you unlocked between your runs.

- We rebalanced some parameters (Neo-N, weapons, squadrons and officers drops) to provide a better and fairer global game experience

We sincerely hope you will be able to continue playing Crying Suns and maybe change your general opinion about it!

Thanks again for your feedback!
