Drox Operative 2

Games
365

I have been playing this regularly co-op with a buddy, since Beta and now after release. We really like the loot and ship customization. We are slowly increasing the galaxy size to see the dynamic interactions. So far Medium has been a sweet spot, we can finish in a 2-3 hour long session. Sometimes the Drox quests are achievable and then we complete 2-3 and win. Sometimes the Drox quests are harder (eg, make the weakest faction the most powerful) and we dont even try to finish them within the 45 min Drox timer, and we try other Win conditions. (Economic seems impossible to win on Medium galaxy size, and I suspect harder on larger galaxies.)

These characters are still less than 25th lvl, so we play on Normal difficulty but then set the galaxy level to +2.

My friend plays a fighter carrier and enjoys the passive damage. I play a missile carrier, and I like how the missiles auto-follow the target. Neither one of us enjoys manually targeting weapons.

This is one of the finest A-RPGs we have played. The space setting works very well. The game is stable and co-op works perfectly.

WAIT DID YOU SAY CO-OP???

Pretty much all Soldak games have excellent co-op!

Indeed, which is why I’ve been trying to convince Steven to add 2 player local support.

I have to say, after not having played since prior to the 0.9 beta, there were tons of improvements all around when I fired the game up again last week. Even some implementations of suggestions I remember submitting here or on the Soldak forums, which was neat!

Made a new Drakk carrier ship. Love the improvements to minions. Also noticed the optional stat requirements for some gear (as in, an item might have a requirement of structure OR tactics) which makes things much more flexible. And bonus stats from Command investment now count towards stat bonus tiers, yay!!

Great work on improving what was already a solid game.
