  • Summary: DarkSpace takes place in a tumultuous universe of political infighting, economic sanctions and diplomatic posturing. All of the major factions have definite hostility towards one another, but a few splinter outposts are staying neutral, at least initially, to determine their best interest.DarkSpace takes place in a tumultuous universe of political infighting, economic sanctions and diplomatic posturing. All of the major factions have definite hostility towards one another, but a few splinter outposts are staying neutral, at least initially, to determine their best interest. In the midst of turmoil and civil unrest, players start as an ensign, piloting smaller craft and will eventually work their way up to a fleet admiral controlling a capital ship and plotting maneuvers in one of the three initial factions. Hundreds of players will join together online in a fast paced struggle for mankind's destiny. Individual mission goals will vary and successful completion of objectives will alter the galaxy toward that faction's favor. The galaxy is designed to be altered directly by concerted player effort. By cooperation within a faction or group, players will achieve scenario objectives and push back the rival factions. Random events are possible and will definitely require player cooperation to save the chosen faction from obliteration. [Palestar]… Expand

    The controls are as intuitive as a first-person shooter and as easy as point and click.

    The gameplay is fresh, innovative to a certain degree, and a real eye-opener for those who have grown tired of the swords and sorcery settings of "EverQuest" and its ilk.

    Enjoy it while it lasts, because I doubt it'll last long. [Apr 2002, p.76]

    Used to be a good game, but now its buggy beyond belief. A pet project of its creator, it doesn't have the money for real development; Used to be a good game, but now its buggy beyond belief. A pet project of its creator, it doesn't have the money for real development; and holds on to it existance due to diehard fans. Don't waste your money.… Expand
