![]() Definitely not for everyone, but if you’re looking for hours of space missions and exploration or simply looking for a new space simulator to play this may be the one for you. It’s hard to suggest a game that intentionally falls short because of such laziness, but in the end its good qualities do persevere. In several ways, this game is wonderfully immersive, however the game can also be incredibly sloppy in both presentation and controls. While Darkstar One does nothing innovative, it does a lot of things expertly within a genre that’s, sadly, fallen by the wayside in recent years. The same can be said for the attendants in each system’s trading posts, even if they are million miles apart from one another. Even after shooting down one opponent, that same foe reappears in the next ship. ![]() With combat in mind it’s also worth noting that when fighting multiple opponents or gangs, every character is a clone of the next. The voice work in the game is best described as above average, the dialogue can be a little hammy at times and there only seems to be four or five sayings that opponents spew forth during combat. Limiting players to these sloppy controls does not make for the best experience when plunged into dangerous territory. While this strategy proves handy, it seems far too clunky. The best way to go about doing this is by using your throttle and creating just enough distance between your opponent and yourself. However, these frustrating controls come into full effect when trying to follow someone or shoot a ship down, which can be incredibly difficult and annoying. It may seem easy enough, but with other ships fighting through the small entranceway this can be incredibly annoying. One annoyance comes from simply landing your ship in the game’s many trading posts. The controls of the Darkstar One, particularly the steering, are very frustrating. ![]() you can find yourself getting caught up in this surprisingly vast game. With the various styles of missions: getting involved in political strife, protecting convoys, hunting down pirates, etc. You have the choice of becoming a ruthless killer, a famous trader or smuggler, a hired gun/mercenary or even a rogue, attacking the same police force that issued you your ship. Your main character, Kayron, can go several different paths depending on how you play the game. And almost as quickly you discover that you will need to make money – through various means including: piracy, assignments, bounty hunting, trading or smuggling – in order to upgrade your ship so you can accept many of these missions. Literally from the get go, you are plunged into dogfights and missions galore.
