What players say
Yeah it says 3 hours, but I've played this more on other platforms. If you're going to play one game from Soldak Entertainment, pick this one. I view this as the peak of their creativity with the type of game they're known for, and I wish they went forward with this space concept to another title. This is pretty much Drox Operative 2.0 more than a sequel, but the refinements are good to the point that you really...
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Very fun game, based entirely around space combat. Yeah there's a background game going on where you decide which aliens you want to live and which need to die for your "victory" but the core of the game is playing around with different space ship components and having fun deciding which is the best at destroying other space ships.
There's a speed cap on your ship. Unfortunately, it's not very high. One of the first upgrades you can do will dramatically slow down your ship if your helm stat isn't high enough. This isn't very convenient for a game about space exploration and diplomacy. The combat gets tedious very quickly, you can even get weapons that auto aim, so you just fly somewhere, keep both mouse buttons pressed and see random stuff...
