Gamercast 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.

Sometimes simply sitting back and watching the world around you doesn't always work out as effectively as you might want, races may be too peaceful to one-another which is where you may have to intervene with some nasty tricks, like cause civil unrest on planets, spread rumours, sabotage water supplies and more dastardly deeds, however you aren't the only individual in the universe able to do so, so don't be surprised when another race starts spreading vicious rumours of you. Don't worry though, because the game is dynamic, so may never encounter the same experience –good or bad- more than once.

Sitting back and watching the action unfold is simply one way to play Drox Operative, and if you want you can get in the thick of the action, you can work your way around the system wiping out every race until only one remains, protect friendly races from pirates, or just blast around fulfilling quests for your associates like colonising planets, making the galaxy a safer place, or carrying out diplomatic missions that may mean the difference between a war between two races or ongoing peace. The missions can get a little repetitive, after-all there is no overarching story to the game, however because they aren't the definitive crux of the game you never feel as though you are entering a grind-only zone.
