Developer Little Green Men Games

What people are saying
Mixed reception: praised for dogfighting but criticised for story and abandoned support.
Many players enjoy the dogfighting and casual space combat, calling it fun and reminiscent of Freelancer. However, the writing and voice acting are widely panned as cringeworthy and off-putting. [2][6][7][34][35]
Fans of earlier Starpoint Gemini games often feel this entry abandons the series' capital ship and fleet gameplay. Some players allege the developer abandoned the game after early access, leaving bugs and broken promises. [4][15][16][17][19][20][32]

60 of 192 · most liked firstSo I really liked SPG2, and Warlords. I assumed SPG3 would live up to LGM's standards, but it has not sadly. The game is a bit of a mess, and several promises made by the developer are now no longer being considered. A recent(on Discord instead of Steam oddly) post clarified that they are most likely no longer going to support or keep some of those promises made, and will most likely be moving onto another game. If this ends up happening I will probably skip anything else from this developer…

We didn't really have any great news to share, and lots of things have been happening in chain events. But, it is only fair to let you all know our current status. In short - our team is still here, but following a series of hard hits we received (pandemic, earthquake, SPG3 complications in development), combined with bad results from our last game... we're going…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy, unfinished abandon ware. 1,2 and warlords was very good but this isn't anything like them and I doubt it will ever be anything else.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a dogfighter and as such I find it gets very repetitive. There is no down time. You can never relax. Outlaws appear every 20 seconds and then its the same boring battle. Mining is dumb downed and you cant do it because of the constant interruptions. SG2 was a much better game than this. SG3 is overly simplistic. PROS: 1: For what it is, it is really well down. If you just love dogfighting, then this game is perfect for you. 2: I found no bugs at all. 3: Controls are nicely streamlined…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really disappointed. I bought the game during early access/development and the developer appears to have abandoned the game. Hasn't been updated in well over a year, as far as I can tell. Wasted money. I loved Starpoint Gemini 2 and was really looking forward to this game getting that kind of attention and polish. I will not buy another game from Little Green Men Games unless it is a finished product. Trust burned.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Making PROMISES then not following through with them because the game did not sell well enough and going radio silent instead is not the way. If you want your game/franchise/business to have customer loyalty, customer return, customer support and funding. Do not say you are going to do the things that will improve the game for your loyal customers then just not do it and move on to new projects. You are the ones who made the mediocre game. Own it and figure it out. If you don't you are going…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed previous games in the franchise, and honestly I just can't help but wonder what happened with this one. It feels more like a joke or a parody of the earlier games. Dialogue and voice acting are laughable. Ship options are extremely limited. The combat and flight for the smaller craft is nice, but you're essentially limited to fighters and similar. Capital ships are technically in the game, but only after the campaign is completed, and the controls for them aren't great; they very…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do Love LGM for Starpoint Gemini 2, and Starpoint Gemini Warlords. Both excellent games that check nearly all the boxes I look for in a quality Space game. Something happened when they where building Starpoint Gemini 3. The Devs abandoned nearly all the elements that made the first 2 games excellent space games. One of the main, and fun aspects of SG2 and SG Warlords was the ability to capture bad guys ships, strip them of hardware to sell or use on your own ships, sell the ships, or fly them…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got it on discount, and can honestly say it's not a bad game for what it is, but if you play its predecessor (Starpoint Gemini Warlords) it's an underwhelming game. The only aspects this game (SPG3) has over Starpoint Gemini Warlords (SPGW) is the massive difference in combat where you're actually using a legit fighter and you don't have the same autofire option SPGW has. Aside from that 1 difference which I consider a good change, it also comes with a downside. That being, the autolock they…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The content of this game pulls my opinion in two opposite directions at the same time. On the one hand, the combat feels tense and skillful, and upgrade chasing is just as engaging as the previous games in the series, albeit with fewer options. My biggest gripes come from the campaign mode. All of the dialogue feels ripped from a broadcast TV sitcom that was cancelled mid-season. None of the characters are likeable; the main character is equally petulant and cringe-worthy, and everyone else…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like the first 2 & warlords you probably won't like this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The reviews don't give this game justice! The game looks good and fun to play, I really enjoyed the dogfights in space. Runs great on the deck! If you'd like something that is a casual version of Elite:Dangerous, then you'll not be disappointed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Your ship just magically explodes if you move too far from the "mission area". What?????
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Starpoint Gemini 3 is a game that: -looks like Freelancer, but prettier -play like Freelancer, but smoother -the thing that killed all desire from finishing the game for me, is a stupid drone mini game, a third person shooter where you control an extremely slow robot and shoot at things with high input latency. Everyone says the protagonist is awful, yeah he is a real piece of work, but I actually dislike his ship's A.I. called Adah more, that woman is obnoxious. Between the two of them, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game wastes the player's time. No in-mission saves. Weapons feel under powered. Ships feel stodgy and slow. It forces you into missions you're not prepared for and if you try to run, it blows your ship up for no reason. The main protagonist is thoroughly unlikable and the dialogue cringeworthy. I paid $1 for this and I still feel I overpaid. I knew it was bad going in, but I liked the previous games so how bad could it be for a buck? Bad. 2/10.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got it at sale for 8 Bucks, it's worth half that - The cinematics are lame, and offer absolutely no value, why spend time and effort designing such a ♥♥♥♥? I'd rather have a text dialogue, I don't need all the stupid voice. - The fights are also substandard, worse actually than Starpoint Gemini 2. - The UI is really bad, it's like it was patched up in a couple of hours, no choices - The journal has nothing to do with a journal, there's no list of quests or anything - You get jobs from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Did you enjoy Freelancer but wished it looked jankier and had terrible writing? Do you enjoy mandatory, instant fail, stealth sections that do not match the rest of the experience at all? Do you enjoy grinding the same 3 missions over and over to upgrade your ship with fascinating upgrades like "+5%" to a thing? Do you hate it when you have an understanding of who is speaking over the comms? Do you hate knowing what is going on around you in space? If you answered "Yes" to all these questions…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Starpoint 3 is more like a space dog-fighter spinoff than a continuation of the series, if you are a big fan of the previous SPG games, I dont recommend buying this as it has none of the huge open starsystem feeling of the earlier games. As for the ships, you no longer get the feeling you're working your way up the food chain as the main focus is on the modular player fighter ship rather than the larger ones. The larger ships and capital ships do apparently exist, but the world is too tiny for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The space flight and combat are decent but the writing and voice acting are by far the most cringe worthy I have ever uncounted in a PC game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very boring game. The universe is empty, the missions are boringly repetitive, and the story is disgusting. The main character is a cocky idiot who you will want to kill. He will force you to turn off the campaign and switch to a free room. All playable ships are the same. No classes, special abilities, nothing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm completely lost... I played Starpoint Gemini 2 and LOVED it... I played Starpoint Warlords and LOVED THE HELL out of it! There was no other game like it! the Scale, the fact that it was the descendant of Freelancer!! The only things I wanted to change in that game was a cockpit view and an option not to be tied to one set station. But this... this isn't Starpoint Gemini at all... this is an attempt at making Rebel Galaxy without copyright infringement... Why?! Why would you abandon that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately, like many others, I have to write that the game has been abandoned. There is no more support. No bugs are fixed anymore. Communication with the company does not take place even with the other Starpoint games. Absolute sourness Edit : I tried to reach them via their support email.... No answer. i.e. they don't give a damn about bugs and the buyers
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far I am thoroughly enjoying this game. After a year or so on my wishlist Im utterly confused why the steam reviews are so negative. It isnt perfect and yeah some of the writing, especially in the beginning, is a bit unnecessary but not enough to warrant a thumbs down by any means. And so I am greatly bewildered. Nonetheless this game is very much the Starpoint Geminis version on what Freelancer achieved and the developer did a fantastic job in my opinion. I just wanted to add my experience…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This feels more like spare time solo project than a SG series game. The game is empty, boring, repetitive, dull. Simplistic dog fighting most of the time. That's the game. "3 layers of gameplay" my left ball lol. It's so boring it will cause you heartburn. I swear.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The campaign is so buggy. In the mission where you have to pass through hoops to extend the timer, apparently there are multiple cases in which the hoops do not extend your timer. You'd think there would be a fix of some sort, but there doesn't seem to be. Luckily I got this game with a heavy discount, because it's really not worth $30. It might be worth $7, but... you'd have a better time playing some game on your phone.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the previous Starpoint games. They were maybe not the best productions in gaming history, but fairly entertaining and gave many hours of fun. This... Thing... 10 minutes in, I wanted to get a colonoscopy for my ears. The voice acting is SO HORRIBLE it made me uninstall the game and request a refund immediately. I can't stress enough how horrible it was. It was listening to the "story" part of a really bad "naughty adult movie", but without the naughty parts. Then we have the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned lol Hard to compete with X4
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Starpoint Gemini 3 isn't broken or badly made but it does feel like a step away from what made the earlier games so special. It leans into dogfighting and story, but abandons the massive capital ship and fleet gameplay that made fans like me fall in love with the series. But there's still so much potential in the future. Stick to the a foundation that few developers have ever built: a pure space combat sandbox, built around commanding enormous ships, customizing them, and leading your own…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't recommend this game. While the voice over story was good, it's very short. Ship combat are uninteresting, capital ship are easy kills. Then there is nothing much to do. Combat is point and click not worth the money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ultimately i have to give this a "Not Recommended." Not because I think it is a bad game, but because it doesnt really feel that much like the previous games. To make a metaphor: SG3 is to the SG Franchice as X:Rebirth is the the X franchise. It tells a part of the story in the universe, but in a completely different way than all previous games have done it by locking you to a single ship that you can modify but never move on from.... It shatters the expectations of the player in such a way…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Underrated game in many respects! This is still the same Star Point Gemini we all love but, it is played from the perspective of a single pilot. Just like SPG2 and SPGW both had different "scopes" from which the gameplay is experienced, SPG3 allows you to experience this world from a single individual perspective. As a result the gameplay is fast paced and focused on combat. Many times in previous SPG games, I've wanted to take on a more direct approach to the combat (to get more involved…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The last update for this game was in 2020, a month after the game released. The game feels unfinished and is missing features previous entries had. In terms of graphics it looks better sort of(?), but this is not an SPG game. It feels like a mobile game. Don't waste your money or time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a huge scam. The devs promised updates and never delivered. The gameplay is repetitive, protagonist voice acting is just horrible.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No, it is not Freelancer. No, it is not fun, at least for me. BUT thanks to that game I finished Freelancer for maybe a 100th time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am not able to use the T-gate to travel to the next part of the campaign....after searching online, there is no solution to the issue/bug .....very unhappy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really put off by the negative reviews, but I was looking for an easy, casual, fun, brainless, 1st/3rd person, arcade dog fighting, star fighter game... and that's what I got! I bought it for a fiver on sale and I've had great fun with it. I've just played free roam mode on easy so far... You go to the space pub, ask if they have a job, the person behind the bar then asks you to get out and blow up some space pirates, and that's it. I mean what more do you need? More space pubs? Pew, pew,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really tried to like this, as I'm desperate for a good space game. I had low expectations for it's story, as it has not been the strong suit of the previous games (Although they weren't bad), but this one is horrible, dialogue appears to have been written by an edgy 12 year old, the voice acting is not that bad, it's actually better than previous Starpoint Gemini games, but the dialogue's writting is so horrible I had headaches trying to watch the cutscenes without skipping them. While in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you have come here after SG2 turn around, Warlords could be better choice. I'm not downvoting this game due making a brainless plant out of player (I thought developers know what is funny what is not). Neither due pointless challenges while playing the game. Neither due overpowered bosses with only critical spots available to hit. But when I'm pushed by boss from some kind of quest zone and I cannot get buck due wall of fire, yes that overflows the chalice. If above doesn't turn you out…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a global Meh as the search for more freelancer clones continue. Very similar to Rebel Galaxy Outlaw i played recently. Goods: -No CPU or GPU strain, max graphics don't need a lot of fan spin. Quick to start and to exit, minor loading screens. -No critical bugs detected. -Good dialogues. Yes, the first dialogue of the campaign make you convulse with cringe but it improves. -Crafting is somewhat complex and well aligned although you will mostly use it to increase the value of raw materials…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It started out weak but a little bit funny and then got impossible to win. I liked other games in the series but this is the worst in the bunch.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS IS A MESSAGE TO FANS OF THE PREVIOUS GAMES: BE WARNED, ITS PROBABLY NOT WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR! I don't often request refunds on games, let alone this quickly, but damn am I disappointed. First, the real time strategy element from the previous games has been completely removed. No fleet building, no station management, Instead its just a piloting simulator in space, which can be cool but its not what I came here for. Its a huge let down from the previous games. Second, the story: I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game at first convinced me it was good. I was all prepared to say that the haters were wrong, they were expecting a different game is all. Then I lost the entirety of my playtime because the game decided to randomly blow me up without warning. Yeah, this is a big no. To make things worse, the main character is probably the single most hate-able main character of any game I've ever played. He's so awful that you are driven to seek out player-made mods to shut him up entirely. He is the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I am Recommending this game... I'm doing it with Reservations; and being VERY Happy that I got it on Sale. In truth it's really not a Bad Game, but I expected better from LGM, the Developer. I would Not call this a Money Grab, but it feels Phoned In!!! Games like these, however... are Reasons why Steam should get away from the YES or NO, and go with Levels: this game is 3 out of 5 --or-- 5 out of 10 As to what is Good About it. As a whole, the game isn't that bad. The Campaign,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't like this game when I got it for the first time, years ago, in Early Access. And then I simply forgot about it. I've just seen it sitting in the library and I've decided to give it a try. I would say that I had a blast playing this. Amazing game! I would say it's more in the DNA of Freelancer than Everspace 2, because the space experience is continuous. There are no loading screens in space. The game is cerrtainly Freelancer-able in the future. Different than Darkstar One, which is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a fan of the previous game I am very much disappointed by this one. Warlords was a fun experience where you could command dozens of space ships against hordes of enemies, even blow up an entire planet in the endgame. This one seem to be a smaller scale version of that, where you control just 1 ship, although I didn't make it past the first couple of hours. At first I was still fueled by curiosity to see what this game is all about, but as I go through the story missions, that curiosity is…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I rarely ever leave a review. I have played the game for 57 hours now and encountered a block in the campaign that broke the game for me. At one point in the campaign, just after being prompted to go to Earth, the game said this was a good time to go explore and upgrade. Which I did a lot and therefore I became hated by Multicorp. I decided to continue with a greatly upgraded ship and then I am asked to go to a station controlled by Multicorp. Naturally I cannot dock at a station where I am…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely the worst of the Starpoint Gemini series. with blocky controls lazy lighting effects, and a appalling story-line. the game leaves little to enjoy. Ship "customising" is so boring and makes monstrous looking ships it is a wonder why they bothered. I suggest avoiding this one in the series. but still give the others a go. The big ships unlock at the end of the game. a pointless feature as the game does not really give you a reason to continue when the story is complete. Its still…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →warlords is way better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With the reception of this game, I was really skeptical, so when I bought it on sale I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm trying to keep things in the big picture as I am currently at around 10 hours. I first started with a similar experience to others, overly-campy banter on what seems like a strange story. The more I progressed though, the story reasons for why the character is on the run makes sense as he's trying to avoid getting pulled into the politics of the world, and that marriage from…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my most favorite of the Starpoint games. The writing is funny, the story is the right kind of cheesy, the combat is tight, and I like the characters. I had fun!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The voice acting is corny (bad corny), the story could have been written by a middle school kid, the game play is boring, the UI and trading basic. The only good thing about this game was the music during the credits. Don't buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you want a nice mindless space sim here you go. it wont bust graphics, or win awards but its certainly a playable game, reminds me of the old days where i go kill stuff, upgrade, do a campaign mission, and rinse repeat. it like the diablo of space haha. honestly its fun, repetitive yes but so were the classics...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story mode is just awful. Too much cringe dialogue, with really outdated graphics and really grindy missions. The free roam mode is a little better, mainly because you don't have to see awful cutscenes and hear the horrible voice acting. Even on a sale I would not recommend this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game! I can only imagine the bad reviews are because it is more focused on dog-fighting (like Freelancer/Rebel Galaxy Outlaw), rather then the fleet/empire management style of the previous game in the series (Warlords). Combat is very good. Graphics are maybe a bit dated, but good enough. Story is entertaining, although horrifically cheesy... you get used to it though! Open world elements are very similar to what you'd get in the previous games in the series. So all considered everything…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Control is the most worst ever (Arcade game?) stopped in Tutorial. Bad dialogs. too much cartoonish and colorful graphic, going back SPG2 refund
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am surprised that this game and another low rated game called rebel galaxy outlaw are rated so low, Starpoint Gemini 3 reminds me soooo much of Freelancer but will campy humour and it will actually run on my system in ultrawide. I enjoy it, its cheap, buy it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is intentionally a step backwards from the previous titles. Wish i had refunded it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game feels unfinished. What little content there is is grindy, repetitive, and often wildly unbalanced. Available ship options feel largely pointless, enemies have almost no variety, missions are the same 3 requests over and over again. This feels like pre-alpha.
