Man, I loved the original Star Wolves. The third entry in this Russian series is so low in profile (at least at this end of the world), I didn't even know it existed. GameZone has kicked up a review, although most of the complaints would apply to the first game so it's hard to compare. The score is 4/10 and here's a snip:
More information.The gameplay is similar to many other real-time strategy titles as players control a mothership, guiding it through space. A map can be brought up to aid the player in navigating the map. The problem with this formula of an open world system not working here is that space is huge, and space is barren. Open world games should have an interesting world that invites the player to explore, but in Star Wolves, it’s mostly empty with space stations scattered throughout each area, and barely any other ships flying around. Another major problem is when flying from objective to objective – it’s as slow as a snail. Luckily the game has a fast mode button that speeds up the gameplay to x8. The problem is, during my playthrough, I had that turned on 99 percent of the time. The game would have benefitted from a strict mission format. Read the dialogue, accept a mission, do said mission, level up, and move on to the next mission.
