Drox Operative - Preview, Beta Updates
 

Space Game Junkie serves up a preview of Soldak's Drox Operative, which is currently in beta:
For those playing or watching the beta progress, there have been three patches over the last week or so.
More information.

I do agree, the initial is a little hard. Probably some of that difficulty is related with the fact that we are playing a SF aRPG and not a fantasy one, like most of us are used to. When we begin to mentally switch to the SF ambiance than everything turns more easier to grasp.

After 6 hours of play I still haven't "touched" some of the core elements of the game, like the relationships between species. But I'm enjoying so far, and honestly beginning to feel addicted.

I agree with this, it gets better with each patch.

It's really a unique kinda game, but so far I'm having fun with it. Each patch makes it better and better, in the end I think it will be well worth playing for anyone that likes the genre.

This is exactly what happened with Din's Curse when I pre-ordered it, just kept getting better and better with each beta patch, and the patches were so frequent it never got boring.

This game looks to be a lot of fun and if it follows in the footsteps of Din's Curse should be a blast.
I also found another preview here

if any one is interested.

Darn I don't have the time to play anther game right now, but I guess I'll have to give it a go. The price is good and I've never been disappointed by their games.

I've played a little more today and I was able to finish my first sector.
I'm now officially addicted to it.:p

If you give this game a chance and like strategy with some nice rpg elements, you'll be quickly hooked. There's a lot going on behind the scenes from what I've discovered so far, and the replay value might be decent as well.
