Completely captivating space exploration game.

User Rating: 9.3 | Escape Velocity Nova PC
By tonywalthall | Review Date:
A must-have space exploration game. Multiple plots and subplots. pick your destiny: space pirate, trader, or government agent. Gain levels and upgrade your vessel. Build a fleet. Real time ship defense/attack. Revolutionary trading and pirating systems. Be your own captain. Hours of galaxy exploration and vessel mastery. Later versions of this game just expand upon the basic version. Play one or all for a great time. Real time graphics system and top down view of battles. But, trust me, you want a good ship before trying to attack someone. Moreover, you will be labeled a pirate by the government of that system and will be shot on site by it's patrol ships.
