All the ridiculous praise surrounding this game tempted me into playing, especially that it was released on GOG lately - imagine my disappointment. Every good thing you've ever heard is just pure nostalgia haze (or maybe should I say narcotic trip?). Poorly designed, barely playable, bug-ridden, broken mess.

Not only very basics of the game are flawed (terribly unresponsive controls), targeting enemies sometimes works, sometimes does not, scripts often don't execute, making you restart missions, some ships you are to protect have 0.1 health and go down if someone even bumps them, this supposedly great trading system is just as linear and boring as in newer Aquanox, before you're halfway through the campaign everything becomes tedious and boring. Story is really basic, dialog is moronic (and poorly translated from german). Guys had good starting idea, but totally failed with execution.
Why some ppl call this turd "classic" and put it in the same league as "Baldur's Gate", "Doom","Carmageddon", or "Diablo", is beyond me. Don't waste money, don't waste time.… Expand
