Inside Mac Games 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.

Here's an excerpt:

Soldak does go to great lengths to provide a differentiated experience, and that can't be overlooked; equipment slots come in race-specific, heavy, medium and light categories, with a huge diversity of upgrades available for each - and you only get so many slots in each category. Enemy types are also highly diverse, with a wide range of attacks and debuffs, and the general flight model means that combat can be surprisingly tactical in its execution. Ship-to-ship combat quickly turns from being out-and-out slugfests into carefully choreographed ballets of death, as you try to outmaneuver your opponent, either to get behind them long enough for your weapons energy to recharge, or to use your nuclear space mines to lethal effect.
