Starpoint Gemini Warlords

Developed by independent Little Green Man studio from Croatia, Starpoint Gemini Warlords for PC and XONE is another instalment of the space strategy franchise with simulator and RPG elements. However, this title is not a major one in the series. Its development is based on the community feedback collected in Steam Early Access to Starpoint Gemini 2 and the developers themselves recognise it as a spin-off to this production.

Plot

The action is once again set in the popular Gemini universe where Empire and the resistance, calling themselves the Gemini League, are in constant war. During gameplay you assume the role of a space ship captain who tries to survive in the world raged by conflicts by trading in resources, hunting down various criminals, and fighting space pirates.

Gameplay

Gameplay is very similar to that in the title’s former parts, yet Starpoint Gemini Warlords introduces a number of new elements which significantly diversify gameplay. Primarily, the size of the universe is changed – it is eight times bigger than the world in Starpoint Gemini 2. The action takes place not only on the deck of your spaceship – now players can create and develop their own space bases that are responsible for conducting scientific research and constructing new ships for your fleet.

The game introduces an option of conquering different territories by fighting fractions which possess them – starting from small rebel groups and ending with powerful Gemini Warlords units. The title also offers a more diverse world and different space ships kinds, more upgrades and weapons. The class and abilities models, the reputation system, and diplomatic options are expanded and better-balanced.

Game modes

Just like the original title, Starpoint Gemini Warlords features two modes. In the single-player campaign you primarily focus on the main theme enriched by a number of side quests and freelancer missions. In the Free-roam mode there are no campaign missions and players are free to play and embark on multitude of side quests.

Technical aspects

Visuals in Starpoint Gemini Warlords released on PC and XONE received a whole range of upgrades, like new special effects and more realistic physics model. The game runs only on 64-bit operation systems.
