    FEATURES

    Star Wolves is a 3D space RPG with deep strategy and tactical elements. The game thrusts players into a world of freelance space hunters in the XXI-XXII Century A.D. during a time of political crisis for the all-powerful Empire and the three mega-corporations that control all the known worlds. Corruption prospers planet-side and only space can give a man his freedom, but not without a cost: space is not a safe place anymore. Human space pirates, rogue AI computers that rebelled against humanity and Empire patrol ships roam space in search of easy prey.

     

    Players begin the game as a bounty hunter with little more than an old, run-down space fighter and a dream, but as they advance in the game and prosper, their piloting and battle skills improve, allowing access to more advance spacecraft. Players can control a party of up to six bounty hunters, each possessing different skills, abilities and personality. Team tactics give players vast opportunities in battles when shear fire power isn't enough. Tactical ruses, planning and executing ambushes or deploying spaceships' special abilities provide cunning commanders the ability to crush enemies according to their style of play.

    This is an interesting Game, it will remind you a bit to Homeworld, at least the command interface, though you have less control over the ships, no formations for the wings, which is a real shame. Now, let's go into the game, shall we? You Command a mercenary band, up to six small crafts, call em starfighters, and one mothership/Homebase. Each ship, including the mothership (not to confuse with HW's, its just a modified freighter... hey, its a mercenary company, what did you expect? state of the art dreadnought?) is customizable, fighters have different mount configurations (that is to say some hulls can only use small guns, some big guns and the mothership only accepts turrets) The missions are interesting and will task you finding ways of drawing off that wing, or that ship to avoind being swarmed. Like I said before, you cannot order formations, but you can assign each wingmen tasks, like Anti missile duty (by far this is a must have, not all the time, but trust me, it will sabe you a fortune in fighters), Defence (that is to say, be on the lookout for fighters gunning on your craft while you are gunning for other ships, ah, be a wingman) work the remote repair systems and so on... the game is composed by missions, or mission areas, and an in between location, where you choose available missions, sell loot, buy equipment, and even check on some news and, most importantly assign those hard earned XP points to the pilots abilities, that range from combat, gunnery, missile use and systems (though they all have one in which they are proeficient and some chars have a few extra talents to obtain, like Ace and his black market contact, can be say te background makes the person) Also, keep in mind, your mothership might be slow and a big fat target, it also is a fighting ship. Now, for the bad, the translation seems a bit rough on the edges, for instance Space superiority fighters are called Space Superior, for some reason, and also there seems to be a few typos and the voice acting is downright bad. Overall it is an interesting game, fun and challenging, it could use some polish, and a free roaming mode (been told the sequel has one) that is to say you move though the cosmos picking up missions and such. Still, I'd recommend it, in spite of its issues. 75/100 in my oppinion.
