This little unknown gem is one of my favorite games. Ever.
Quite a bold statement, I know, but if you give the game a chance, it'll really shine through. The combat system, I know, is very simplistic. But combat should be the last thing on your mind.
You see, this game is about exploration, trade, story, characterization, imagination. There are just so many little details that you can come across. There are at least three main threads you can follow to the game's end that I have found; there may be more. There is also a whole lot of optional stuff to do, and a lot of characters to meet. This is an adventure game, remember, not a shooter.
All of the alien races are unique and interesting. While you'll find patterns within each race, there are still plenty of unique character interactions to be found. I highly recommend this game to any adventure game lover.
