Since most of you probably haven’t heard of Drox Operative before and know little about it, Adam thinks it would be beneficial to first explain the type of game we are dealing with here. Drox Operative is a space combat action RPG set in sectors of the universe afar. The closest game Adam can relate it to is the Space Ranger Series that came out about a decade ago, minus the RTS elements. Combat, item loot, and character development play very much like other action RPGs like Diablo and Torchlight. However, your character (space ship) plays in a series of instanced games or skirmishes that have the likes of a Civilization game. A game is won or lost by a series of conditions, either working in war or diplomacy.
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.
