| Nexus – The Jupiter Incident | Vivendi Universal;HD Interactive (Mithis Entertainment) | 2004 | I'm still surprised by this title and it is one of my all-time favourites (even among the favorites). The first (and still the only) tactical starship game I've played, and I haven't seen any others come up since or before. Realistic starship physics - no constant propulsion when they're moving, only acceleration and deceleration - which is amazingly rare in games even these days (and certainly not in the mainstream games). Unusual - if not exactly impressive - story despite its few lackluster elements. Even the graphics look [i]a lot[/i] better than in games made several years later, despite the fact it was made for inferior hardware that ran it quite well. All-in-all this is an undeservingly unappreciated among space simulation/strategy games with barely anyone even having heard of it.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 98, 2000 or XP * Pentium III 1 GHz CPU * 128 MB RAM * GeForce 2 GPU * 1.4 GB HD space * 64 Kbps modem for internet multiplayer***Among many others, Nexus was known at one point as [i]Imperium Galactica III: Genesis[/i], but no longer has any connections with that game series nor its [url=/groups/info/4Xstrategy]4X[/url] genre.***Immerse yourself in "Nexus - The Jupiter Incident", the latest surprise to hit the gaming world! Innovative and groundbreaking, it is a real-time mission-based tactical space game featuring spectacular real time battles and breathtaking motion picture quality. Focus on tactics and action as you control up to a dozen battleships encountering aliens, unknown solar systems and astrophysical phenomena in your struggle to save Earth. At the dawn of the 22nd century the conquest of space and the colonization of the solar system is being monopolized by several huge and ambitious megacorporations. Although extremely delicate and vulnerable, a balance is maintained by these companies. It has now been 60 years since the terrible catastrophe that befell Noah's Ark, the first colony ship of mankind. At the very edge of the solar system the companies make a discovery which will shift the technological advantage and upset the balance. And so a new conflict is born: "The Jupiter Incident". You are Marcus Cromwell, a young but already famous captain. With your legendary spaceship Stiletto you find yourself in the middle of the conflict. "Nexus – The Jupiter Incident" is what we call a TFS: a Tactical Fleet Simulator. It's like nothing you've played before. The strong, elaborate story takes you from mission to mission and allows different approaches. It's up to you which tactics you choose to bring each mission to a good end. A reward system enables you to repair, upgrade and enhance your ships depending on the approach you chose. Mission briefings let you roam through an unbelievably accurate 3D animated star map system. Are you ready to take on the challenge...? FEATURES * Epic campaign with 6 Episodes and more than 26 thrilling missions * Powered by Mithis' unique Black Sun 3D engine * Spectacular real-time battles with breathtaking motion picture quality * Control up to 10 extremely detailed, customizable spaceships from basic to simulation level * Diverse mission types: espionage, fight, stealth, sabotage, rescue, science, etc. * NPCs and crew with improving skills * 6 different alien species with race-specific tactics and 30 alien spaceships * More than 50 unique characters and 90 different weapons and devices * More than 50 capital ship types and 10 small ship types * More than 350 planets, moons etc. in 10 solar systems * Flexible starmap system: animated map objects, light flares, etc. * Zoom in on every planet, moon, comet, asteroid field, etc. in a fully 3D environment * Planet movement based on real physics MULTIPLAYER: * Internet and LAN * Playable alien races with unique abilities * Diverse missions * Built-in voice-com support * In-game browser through HD Interactive's authentication server [?] | labelimagesubject |

| Genesis Rising | DreamCatcher Interactive;Akella;Nordic Games (Metamorf Studios) | 2007 | [b]racism/speciesism[/b] - humans were nearly wiped out because of this and returned the favor. Now, humans are pretty much the sole (sentient) species in the whole [i]universe[/i], except in this little corner of it that still remains outside of their control - and where the game incidentally takes place. And it still continues.***Latest version: 1.044 (as of ?)***[b]Recommended:[/b] * Windows 2000, XP, XP64 or Vista * 2.5 GHz Pentium IV or Athlon CPU * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce FX 6600 or Radeon X1600 GPU * 2.5 GB HD space***Three thousand years in the far distant future after what was believed to be the arrival of "The Savior", Mankind has carved a bloody path across the known Universe. Considering themselves a divine race and beyond reproach as a species, they view all alien races as inferior. Those that do not bend and acknowledge the infinite superiority of the Human genome are subsequently punished or simply destroyed. This dominion over almost all sentient life forms was only attainable through the creation and exploitation of the ‘organids' – genetically designed organic technology, easily adaptable to any enemy strategy through the introduction of seeds into the blank genetic makeup of these living machines. The governing body directing the initiative is "The Chair of Three" on which the representatives of three Human factions reside: The Military, the Church and the Judicature. Only one part of the Universe remains unconquered: The galaxy where the Universal Heart; an enigmatic entity that spawned all life and matter into the universe, is hidden. At least, that's what the Chair of Three believes. As Captain Iconah, you have been commissioned to uncover the location and purpose of the Heart. A battle-hardened fleet commander and a brilliant genetic designer, you must follow in your father's footsteps; quelling the alien insurgences, outsmarting pirate cohorts and uncovering the lost galaxy and the secrets hidden within. The fate of Humankind rests on the path you choose; take command and lead your fleet to a glorious destiny and ensure the survival of the species! FEATURES * Genesis Rising is a space RTS that incorporates the best elements of role-playing games; immersing the player in a rich back story and drawing them into an epic crusade that they won't soon forget. * The non-linear single player campaign is comprised of over 30 branching missions that unfold as choices are made based on the actions you take. * Resource gathering, technology upgrades, and combat are refined, making Genesis Rising accessible to even the most novice RTS players. * A co-op mode in which two players can work together and control one fleet! * All of the 20+ gene-based organid ships in the game can be customized with over 50 different weapons and abilities; giving the player thousands of possible combinations to choose from when constructing a fleet. * As genes are inserted, ship models will morph in real-time to reflect the choices that you make! * Many non-player character alien races share the vast emptiness of space with Humankind. Make alliances with other races to secure their support and technology, or purge them completely and take whatever you want! * Expand your genetic capabilities through the invasion of enemy vessels, steal unsuspecting technology and maximize your gene bank's diversity. * Change genetic makeup on-the-fly and adjust your approach based on your enemy's fleet; recycling unused genes to meet any demand. * GameSpy Multiplayer featuring 12-player support and many multiplayer maps on which to flex your dominance! * The universal resource in the game is Blood Air, which in addition to genes, can be harvested from the lifeless carcasses of organid ships.

| Parkan II | 1C Company (Nikita) | 2007 | Asumiendo el puesto de capitán y a la vez única tripulación viva a bordo, tu misión será recorrer y explorar los diversos sistemas solares a tu alcance, con las consiguientes escaramuzas espaciales y a patita, e incluso abordajes. Tiene muy buenas ideas y es un juego muy completo (acción FPS y de naves, diplomacia, compraventa, exploración de planetas, misiones a tutiplén...), pero no las desarrolla del todo bien para ofrecer un juego sólido. Y las voces son muy mejorables, que Loquendo es capaz de tener mas emoción que muchos de sus personajes. Interesante, pero peca de obtuso. 6 de 10***[b]Minimum requirements:[/b] * Windows 2000 or XP * 1.5 GHz Pentium IV or Athlon CPU * 512 MB RAM * GeForce or Radeon 9500 GPU * 2.5 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.4 GHz Pentium IV CPU * 1 GB RAM * GeForce FX series (not 5200) or Radeon 9700 Pro GPU***Parkan II is an original concept game that will allow you to feel as a pilot of a spacecraft lost somewhere in the universe.

| Space Pirates and Zombies | MinMax Games | 2011 | Un juego de acción rápida y directa de naves, con toda una galaxia por explorar. Destacable es lo fácil y rápido que es crear tus propias naves y la interfaz sencilla y eficaz que luce. Lo malo del juego es que progresa muy lentamente. Es un buen juego, especialmente en la parte de exploración y de combate. 6 de 10***At its core, Space Pirates and Zombies is an action based, skill oriented, top down space combat game.

| FTL: Faster Than Light | Subset Games | 2012 | Un gran juego de exploración y combate especial, donde la elección de mejoras y decisiones (dónde viajar, ciertas opciones en dentro de los sistemas) es clave y brutalmente inclemente a los errores, por muy inesperados que sean. Aunque brilla en su apartado de lucha, hubiese estado bien algunas opciones más pacíficas (rescates de naves, aterrizaje en planetas, diplomacia), ya que casi todas tus acciones están enfocadas o en luchar o en mejorar tu nave para el combate (una nave huidiza o sigilosa no es tan buena opción como un arsenal con reactores), que posiblemente le hubiesen dado algo más de variedad y encanto al juego (que si presenta situaciones como lluvias de asteroides o rescates, pero casi siempre con un enfoque como variación del campo de batalla) 7 de 10***[media=vimeo]47066972[/media] | labelimageminimize |
