The five largest colonial powers are entangled in a full-scale war over a new element called Ikarium, the recently discovered rare...

The value story
It has been discounted 120 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is cheaper than 67 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr ($49.99, scores 48) and Killsquad ($29.99, scores 18) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

This game wants you to slowly crawl through the level, slowly taking everyone out one by one. I thought maybe I picked the wrong guy, but it seems they're all the same. Shame, it looked a little bit promising, but I guess all those space themed games of the era were doomed.

The real deal breaker, though, was the game crashing with a script error right after I defeated the final boss. I missed out on the ending video entirely-thank goodness for YouTube, where I was able to watch it. This technical...
I don't know what all the thumbs down are for on this game. Graphics are decent, gameplay is simple yet fun, it's relatively hard, and the sci-fi atmosphere is well done. If you're a fan of Diablo style RPGs and/or sci-fi themed games, ignore the haters and give it a try. It's worth spending only $5. P.S. To the haters: it's not really fair to compare this game to Diablo and say it doens't match up. Of course it...
