During the past two days Game-Modo have been playing a bit of the Smugglers 5 beta by Niels Bauer Games and in between trading as much illegal contraband as Game-Modo could, a few missions here and there and gaining loads of experience Game-Modo have been in fights with pirates and police, upgraded to a new ship twice and found myself completely lost on what to do.
SteamFirst: The Smugglers Guild contains 3 storylines (mini quests). You can still conquer space stations, planets and even solar systems, so don’t worry: your laser cannons will be firing more than ever. The first story: “The Smugglers Guild”, will take you on a search for the secret and exclusive Smugglers Guild. Your father, who is a honest trader, is forced to retire because of his health problems.
SteamFirst: Honestly this is my first encounter with any of the smugglers games so I can’t really tell anything about the background story. This comes in great because you start the game as an unknown pilot without a background story. But let us not get ahead of ourselves. The universe is torn apart by four factions at war with each other. The federation, the coalition, the outer rim systems and the criminal syndicate.
IncGamers' Peter Parrush takes a look at Smugglers V, the turn-based space trading, questing and combat game.
