Drox Operative

[Darkhawke]

I had a post aboutt eh promise of this title on our old forums ..

I follwed the development and played each stage of the beta..

And SOldak has delivered an Ecellent game again .. extremley polished , great looking (max settings) , And most of all challenging and FUN FUN FUN ...

If you are a loot whore who enjoys min-max loadouts of gear, skills and weapons , and enjoy space games .. this is a must buy ....(UPDATE)..... Aight , i have pushed further into game than i had in the last beta .. Diplomacy gets intense .. choices and alliances are making huge implications on play .. Combat is becoming very intense with more varied attacks and defenses .. the Questing is meaningul and impact on diplomacy.... so fuggin good

Demo here .. but i would just buy it ...

[Spidubic]

Downloaded the demo but thinking I should just buy the game. It is very cool.

[Darkhawke]

(UPDATE)

Maybe the best 20$ i spent this year ...

Amazing game .. once you really get it .. and i mean learn the Gear,Skill , Diplomacy and Quest Systems .. (i would guess at 2-4 hour learning curve)
It really draws you in .. really taking part in War efforts to save your Allys as the call for help .. destroy your enemies and endless perfectly scripted mission s...

gotta get back ................. woot The Drak need a lesson in manners

[Spidubic]

I just discovered the Drak! As well as Humans through an unstable wormhole.

[Darkhawke]

Beat my first Sector.. with a 4 faction Diplomacy win .. was alil tricky but pulled it off,,

3 treasure rewards to open .. and you move onto the next sector wit all lvl skills and gear ... really great replau value here also

[Darkhawke]

Wow .. well the 2nd sector i have been assigned to , has been really challenging .. As i first allied with the humans , and knew i was in for quite achallenge as they only had 1 planet , it was a constant defense but faiked in the end as the humans were eliminated .. Now i have to scramble and try to get a peace treaty with 1 of the remaining factions .. its not happening but a new Faction is discovered The Legion and they tolerate me enought o use there Trade to buy sell and trade ...

Now its me a nd Legion vs Drakk and Lithsoid who are very strong...

Really great fun

i will get the demo and check it out.

[Torvalis]

i like it, but i dont think its worth 20 bucks. would get boring very quickly.

[Darkhawke]

hmmm ... im guessing you didnt play it enough .. it really gets better and better .. Did you win the first sector.. Or maybe the Demo is restricive.. ..that i dont know

[Torvalis]

well, it does only let you go to level 6. but, otherwise it doesnt restrict you at all, you can keep playing. i just think it is very repetitive, which gets boring fairly quickly.

Well 6 lvls is really am extremely small sample .. can to lvl 6 in a 1/2 hour .. of 100..

But repeitive is one thing this game isnt... heres a write up that better explains .. and like i said the further you get the better IT gets ..

It is slightly repetitive but then again I grab quests and ran. Then realized I should have read them and ended up fighting everyone. Oops. Reading quests, choosing sides, helping a loser become a winner or visa versa, it is a pretty cool game. And yeah, level 6 demo really can't show you the full game. Still debating grabbing it.

finished my 2nd sector with a Military Victory .. so onto third sector .. And the changes are dramatic as i spend most of my intial time running and dropping mines to stay alive .. Cloaked fighters everywhere and bigger ships that gravity root me..

So i am stuck in a cpl areas for the time being as i tweak my gear to better fight these new enemies .. need some better resist and trying some new weapon loadouts..

[Ashenfield]

Picked it up last night and like what I see so far.
Just scratching the surface after a couple of hours but having fun.

[Torvalis]

made it to lvl 12 last night, and finished my 2nd sector. it basically just repeats itself, with slightly different objectives. i cant say it isnt entertaining, but it will get boring quickly.
