Starpoint Gemini 2

Captain your own space ship and roam the galaxy in 3D in this tactical space simulator with tons of RPG depth ! Space has never looked so inviting – but images can betray…

It has been two years since the end of the second Gemini war, the situation in the wartorn system is further from resolution than ever. The collection of freedom fighters named Gemini League is now reduced to a small group, with no power or influence, after losing their leaders. The Empire meanwhile, has used the re-opened Starpoint to occupy the once renegade Gemini sector – and beyond.

A multitude of Imperial warship fleets and mammoth motherships have crushed every trace of opposition. The situation was looking bleak, when they suddenly halted their armada and re-shifted their focus on fortifying Starpoint with staggering numbers. Rumours soon spread that they were afraid of something coming after them through the T-gate, from what was supposed to be the core of the Empire. What are they running from that makes even the mighty Empire tremble?

Starpoint Gemini 2 Review

A truly fun game. SPG2 takes a lot of the best aspects of space simulators and combines that with high-paced, massive-ship combat, as well as a handful of RPG elements. There are skills and perks (that you gain by leveling primarily) that make you a better killing machine, and ships to compliment every style of play. You can be a trader just trying to make an honest buck, or you can take to piracy and capture and sell (or pilot) victim ships. There’s also a reputation system among the factions, and there’s a faction to support every style of play as well.

The game certainly has its downsides. Loading in new areas is a little clunky, with the game occasionally stuttering, and the backdrop very suddenly changing, but these can be easily overlooked and foreshadowed by the great gameplay. Other than that, there are few downsides I can actually spot. Like some RPGs, enemies do scale with the area they’re in. While their level will match yours (plus or minus a few levels), the NPCs in tougher areas will fly tougher ships, and this can sometimes hinder progress in the main storyline.

Much like games of the same type, there is a good deal of down time where you’re not really doing a whole lot, or you’re just travelling. However, the game manages to strike a nice balance in that you’ll often spend as much, or even more, time actually taking on missions or chasing bounties.

Overally, while I certainly have my gripes about the game, that isn’t a long enough list for me to not love this game, and the pros heavily outweigh the cons in every department. And, for those of you who may see this as a pro, you don’t need to have played the first game to understand the story of this one. However, they did port the first game into this one as a free DLC.
