The game features a reputation system – when you deal with illegal goods, after some point you get infamous enough and will be targeted by police scans more often. Turns out there also are consequences to that. I had little incentive to trade, since I somehow managed to always have enough money to pull through thanks to killing pirates and doing various side-quests (which, most of the time, were pretty varied and fun) and when I did trade, I only dealt with illegal goods which paid big buck for my bang (tee-hee). I appreciated that there weren’t overwhelmingly many and it was always clear what each one of them does – nice, considering how many of the more complex games fail at explaining themselves.īut as the story progressed, the game started to feel a bit drawn out.
Darkstar one soundtrack upgrade#
Depending on your ship’s level, you can buy or upgrade various equipment and weapons. The latter offers various effects – from a shield-disabling beam to reactor overcharge to temporary invincibility, though I only used a few of them. After gaining a new ship “level”, you get to upgrade your hull and stats, as well as a special “plasma cannon”. Instead, you are told your Darkstar uses unique technology and is upgraded through “artifacts” you find scattered about the galaxy. (The way I look at it – at least I had more fun.)Ĭontrary to some other “space trading and combat simulator” games there is no way to buy a new ship.
Darkstar one soundtrack how to#
I really enjoyed figuring various game mechanics out – when to buy or sell, how to control the ship’s engines or how to aim properly, accounting for both mine and target’s movement speed and direction – only to find out later that all of these were either at least explained in-game or outright aided by my ship’s computer, I just haven’t noticed them before.
Soon I started trading with various goods and making some money, defending against the occasional pirate ambush and cursing through gritted teeth at my inability to shoot them down. The game was off to a nice start – after a short (and pretty standard) intro where I learned my (character’s) father died in circumstances more dubious than he was led to believe, I was given a ship he left me, called Darkstar One. I’ve been really looking forward to it for more than one reason – besides having high expectations of game-play and affable characters, I’ve never really played any spaceship simulation – those few minutes of X hardly count. A few years later the time has finally come. Ever since I’ve read a favourable review in the LEVEL magazine, I’ve kept this game on my list of things to play once I upgrade my hardware.
