Stephen Murphy takes a look at the upcoming Starfarer.
"Nothing feels quite so good as freedom. In gaming, this equates to choices: choices about what you want to do and how you want to do it. To many of us gamers, sandbox games are more compelling than history’s greatest novels, because they’re the stories we lived through the game, and they’re stories we made ourselves. Starfarer is on track to be another great sandbox in outer space."
A review for the upcoming Indie title Starfarer by Gamers Hideout reviews editor Joey Hancock.
Missiles tumble wildly through space as automated point defense guns desperately try to intercept their flight. Hulls buckle and burn as energy beams cut deadly arcs, slicing ships asunder. Space combat is intense business, especially when you’re at the head of a fleet, and doubly so when you have to play the long game, balancing books and making sure that each fight leaves you better off. Fractal Softworks have let us have an early peek at the first build of their upcoming action/strategy hybrid Starfarer to include the sandbox campaign/RPG mode. Here’s what preordering folks have to look forward to soon.
