GamingLives 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.

Soldak Entertainment have made an amazing effort to keep the universe dynamic, so I was impressed but also slightly disheartened when a few of my human quests could not be completed as either they had fixed the problems themselves, or in the instance where they wanted me to protect their colony it had been wiped out. Something you learn early on in the game is that you cannot do everything and so you find yourself checking who is the most powerful or weakest in the system quite regularly and either taking them down or rallying behind them depending on your aims for victory.

As you play, empires will spread and decline and races will declare peace, war and sign no end of treaties amongst themselves. Travelling traders will wander the stars and are vulnerable to attack, just as the expanding colony ships of the major races. Throw in randomised galaxies, a myriad of anomalies as well as the quests and Drox Operative really takes it to the next level in terms of dynamism – you literally can’t stand still or you’ll be left behind as the galaxy goes about its business.
