Hearing the same dialogue being voiced over and over definitely takes you out of the moment at times. They did make use of the sound track to give you audible clues to events about to occur, like pirates about to attack or danger. The cut scenes included in Darkstar One animate nicely, move freely as they interact, which makes it easier to get in the part you’re playing scoundrel or hero, which shall it be today? Sounds in the game (3 out of 5)ĭarkstar One has a very monotonous music score which needs energy to keep up the energy level during some areas of the game play, flying around can occasionally drag and good tunes would definitely help. The shield and weapon effects have nice particle effects and visual textures in the explosions of the weapons effects as you fight for your life. The alien vistas and postcard-like panoramas take your breath away as you fly from system to system in the wonderfully conceived Darkstar One. The graphical look (4 out of 5)ĭarkstar One’s visual presentation looks a little old beside many of the new games, but it has a free-flowing look, with nice looking details and enough texture to get the attention of the eye. Using a gamepad or Joystick arrangement it was much easier to control the movements than with the mouse and keyboard.Įlements in the game are too often repeated, the same screens were used far too often, it becomes monotonous to see the same aliens hanging around the same dull-looking space port at every stop I kept thinking I had come back to the same system.
The mouse controls are over-sensitive and there was no way to dial down the sensitivity to a workable level, which made moving around a little awkward at times.

#Darkstar one reviews upgrade
Great variety in ability to upgrade ship using the large variety of available weapons and ship equipment to modify the look and effectiveness of your ship while you’re playing the game. I loved the pace of game play in Darkstar One that picks up speed as you play and keeps the adrenalin flowing as you work your way through the game.

The best parts (4 out of 5)ĭarkstar One includes a very useful and engaging economic system that’s still simple and straightforward to implement and has a shallow learning curve that makes Darkstar One pick up and play easy.ĭarkstar One has a nice variety of different types of missions to undertake as you play, from the lone-wolf bounty hunter on the trail of prey, to the cut-throat pirate willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goals, but you get to decide how to play. In Darkstar One, Ascaron is attempting to travel beyond the areas of interactive space and entertainment that Freelancer reached and into a new region of video entertainment. The developer Ascaron Entertainment is best known for “Sacred' and “Sacred Underworld”, but both games failed to meet the expectations of gamers and the developers, and only have a mild following. Darkstar One was written by the German story teller Claudia Kern, she wrote episodes in season 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and six popular books, and was recruited to lend her prose to Darkstar One.
