The game does not follow a linear storyline so you can go and explore the different star systems and follow your guts when playing
the game.
The game is grossly underrated and did not do as well as the Sentinel Worlds despite being a well-made game. The game features some great improvements over the first game. One of the improvements is the inclusion of a 3D map of the planets so you can maneuver your space craft into a specific location for landing. In the old game, the player was aided by a topographical map so that he/ she can select a landing site. In this game which allowed for 3D view, you will have to face additional challenges such as tall mountains and other obstacles.
Even if the game is a fantastic RPG, it is not without flaws. One of the flaws of the game is how you have to keep members of your team even if they prove useless to you. A character may be highly useful for you in one stage but become totally worthless in the succeeding parts of the game. What you need to do then is to choose the characters of your mercenaries carefully. You must also choose which skills you must develop in your team members to create a strong and well-balanced team.
Another downside of the game is the graphics. While it features some neat 3-D graphics, there are parts of the game that are hardly satisfying.
The game is a must-have not just for fans of sci-fi but for other types of gamers as well. The game is after-all a well made game that features some 3D graphics, some cool sounds, and neat controls. The game may have some flaws but over all it is a cool game that is fun to play.
