Whilst DarkStar One certainly seems promising and the amount of options available to you in the game is good to see, the game never really comes across as anything special. As the game progresses you’ll come up against sharper AI opponents that actually require a fair bit of thought to defeat. Combat in the game begins with the AI being easy to defeat. How they perceive you will determine how they co-operate with you. You’ll have a reputation in the game and your actions will cause others to think of you as either a pirate, merchant, killer, mercenary, smuggler or bounty hunter. You can even hunt the pirates and obtain top notch weaponry from defeating their leader. You can choose to trade your way to a small fortune. Fancy smuggling or being a pirate? No problem. DarkStar One doesn’t disappoint in this respect as you can stick to the main plot or deviate away from it and do your own thing. We often talk about open-endedness in games but this is a genre that demands its games are open-ended. In effect you’re levelling up the DarkStar One in a way that compliments your playing style which is a nice touch. Collecting the appropriate amount of artifacts will allow you to choose an upgrade that not only improves the level of the DarkStar One’s performance but also changes its appearance. You can improve various aspects of the DarkStar One (engines, wings and hull) by collecting artifacts. Essentially you can modify the spacecraft to suit your playing style. The highlight of the game has to be the amount of customisation you can make to the DarkStar One. Thanks to the activities of the Thul, who have been attacking all races, Kayron finds the galaxy on the edge of an intergalactic war. You’ll play as Kayron Jarvis a young fighter pilot who at the beginning of the game inherits the DarkStar One, a superb spacecraft that was the property of his father before he was killed by the Thul, an evil race from the edge of the universe. ![]() DarkStar One from Ascaron Entertainment is the latest title to enter this sparsely populated genre. X: Beyond the Frontier and it’s two sequels, the Independence War games and Freelancer are the only ones that readily spring to mind and when you consider how long ago it was that Elite first appeared that’s pretty disappointing. Elite kicked the genre off many moons ago but since then there’s not been a great deal of games to attempt to follow in its footsteps. Space action and exploration titles don’t come along that often. Price: £29.99 DarkStar One, an introduction. ![]()
