- With that being said, Affordable Space Adventures still is a fine puzzle game. If general puzzles aren't your thing, this may be the type of puzzle game you're looking for.
Ryan Bates · May 13, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Affordable Space Adventures is a great way to do precisely that, and it's especially welcome if you've been looking for a Wii U title that uses the hardware to offer a genuinely unique and reasonably substantial experience. Are you looking for a journey into the digital unknown that won't break the bank? If so, then is the one that you should embark upon.
Jason Venter · Apr 21, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Affordable Space Adventures is an utterly unique Wii U title. It embraces the console’s maligned tablet controller and utilizes it to great effect, a fact that is particularly apparent in its brilliant asymmetric multiplayer. Those core concepts carry the game through its six hour campaign despite some frustratingly obtuse puzzles and occasionally inconsistent physics. Overall, Affordable Space Adventures is a journey well worth embarking on, especially with a few friends.
Dermot Creegan · Apr 20, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Still, there’s just no denying that Affordable Space Adventures is, at the very least, a cleverly designed game that could only exist on the Wii U. It’s refreshing to see someone making good use of the hardware even as Nintendo seems content to let their innovative controller’s potential remain largely untapped. Though it can’t completely make up for its odd-duck status as a game that would’ve been better off omitting single-player entirely, the innovation of it all certainly eases the blow.
Josh Harmon · Apr 13, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Affordable Space Adventures truly takes advantage of the uniqueness of the Wii U, and it is all the better for it. Few games have felt this distinct, while also remaining fun and enjoyable. The campaign doesn’t last too long, but what time you can spend in it will truly satisfy, and if you bring some friends along it only gets better. If you own a Wii U and have been starving for new games, then you owe it to yourself to pick up Affordable Space Adventures.
Kyle Hanson · Apr 09, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - The ending in particular does a great job showcasing the bizarre ineptitude of the company – and it uses the Wii U’s Miiverse in an awesome way that I won’t spoil. Affordable Space Adventures is a great puzzle game, and it uses the GamePad in interesting ways that don’t feel like gimmicks. It shows Nintendo isn’t the only studio capable of doing interesting things with an additional screen. It’s nice to see the Wii U become home to a truly exclusive title trying to do something different.
Kyle Hilliard · Apr 08, 2015 Reviewed on Wii U - Affordable Space Adventures is a brilliant ride from beginning to end. However, the game can understandably be overwhelming for the solo player and it can cause a lot of stress while playing through the game.
Daan Koopman · Apr 07, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Affordable Space Adventures is a game that can only work on the Wii U. Its two-screen experience is exactly what the system was designed for and the result is a unique breath of fresh air that might actually force player to hold that breath in certain situations. The multiplayer doesn't pan out too well and there were some physics glitches, but this is a game that Wii U owners need to get their hands on.
Patrick Hancock · Apr 04, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Affordable Space Adventures is a rare beast – a Wii U title that makes integral and natural use of the Gamepad, whilst also offering a careful and considered local co-op option alongside a hugely enjoyable single player mode. It’s a game that you can become truly involved in – I laughed, I cheered, I shouted at the screen in frustration – all within this remarkable world. It’s a game that Wii U owners simply need to experience, and one which other developers need to take note of when creating software for Nintendo’s unique console.
Dominic Leighton · Apr 22, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Affordable Space Adventures fails to deliver a world that demands to be explored; it is far too generic and lacking in fun puzzles, instead only producing too many a tedious moment. Patience is a virtue with this one.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
Affordable Space Adventures is a stealth puzzle spaceship simulator. Control your craft solo or in a crew of up to three players. The Wii U GamePad™ is your Heads Down Display and gives you precise control over all the internal systems of the ship. Tweak the thrusters, antigravity, stabilizer and many more systems in order to successfully navigate a hostile planet and sneak past alien robots. Explosions, engine shutdowns, blown fuses and implosions may occur.
In co-op mode, players must coordinate as a crew controlling the spaceship together; one will take the role of engineer, while another will be the pilot. A science officer can join the fun as well.
