Drox Operative is the latest "sandbox" action RPG from Soldak Entertainment. Unlike Soldak's other offerings, which haven't strayed too far from traditional fantasy settings, Drox Operative takes place in space with you controlling a space ship. Moreover, while you spend your time killing enemies, completing quests, and gathering loot -- the things you'd expect to see in an action RPG -- the factions populating the sector of space you're in try to gain dominance by exploring their surroundings, colonizing worlds, and defeating their opponents. That is, you're playing a space action RPG while the factions are playing a 4X game, and the combination makes Drox Operative unique.
Drox Operative is a surprisingly deep game for something that looks so simple on the surface. Despite some rough edges and average graphics, it's easy to happily lose hours here.
One of the games I (Blane from TwoDashStash) fell in love with last year, Drox Operative, has been greenlit and is now available for purchase on Steam. Developed by Soldak Entertainment, Drox Operative is a unique space 4X RPG that has a thriving solar system populated with several civilizations who are competing for galactic dominance that players have free rein to explore, harass, and aid as they see fit.
