Gaming Trend has posted a new review of Soldak Entertainment's starship action RPG, Drox Operative. The game puts players in the role of an elite starship captain and features warring alien races, fierce space battles, a dynamic and evolving galaxy, and co-op multiplayer.

If there’s a crowning achievement of Drox Operative, it’s in the replay value possibilities. First off, like other Soldak Games, there is a variety of settings you can use when generating a new game for yourself. Four levels of difficulty, a ‘starting monster level’ that scales from 0 to 100, sector size, pacing, race number and your choice of sector settlement. On top of this there are additional challenges you can pursue, achievements to unlock, and a hardcore mode. A multiplayer mode is also available, but I wasn’t able to try this out – no players were around at the times I was available to play. Maybe I missed them, or maybe they simply aren’t there. Even if the multiplayer side of things is dead, it hardly matters: if you enjoy the gameplay on offer here, you’re going to be able to go back again and again for newer and more demanding challenges. Whether you win or lose a game, you can bring your ship over to a fresh game with all the loot and levels you’ve accumulated – and there’s even a shared loot stash in case you want to start a brand new ship out from close to ‘scratch’.
