With 43 reviews, DreadStar: The Quest for Revenge could be a success for a hobbyist, or a small indie success if it didn't take too long to produce.

Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in DreadStar: The Quest for Revenge, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 7 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 3.9 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 75 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by DreadStar: The Quest for Revenge and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
