Description
Drox Operative: Invasion of the Ancients is the first expansion for Drox Operative. Drox Operative is a starship action RPG with warring alien races, fierce space battles, a dynamic, evolving galaxy, and co-op multiplayer.

Before the Drox ruled the galaxy, before they were even sentient, there were older races now known as the Ancients. Using their Operatives, the Drox crushed and enslaved most of these races. The rest fled known space. When the Drox turned on their own Operatives, the Drox were utterly destroyed. Newer races emerged and thrived in the power void, never knowing the menace waited. Seizing their chance, the Ancients are invading to take their rightful place in the galaxy, as rulers! Thirsting for revenge, the Ancients can't harm the extinct Drox, but they can crush the next best thing, the Drox Operatives.

The Ancient enemies are back! Can you defend the Drox Operative Guild and younger races against the Invasion of the Ancients?
  • Play as or against the new race, the Scavenger

Essential for adding variety I think!

The item crafting options it opens up are great, the new race "Scavenger" is essential with their power to copy items in your inventory. The other epic feature it adds are the secret races. Through specific events you can unlock those races and play as their ships for tons of options in how to play. I keep coming back to these Soldak games and I don't think I'll ever tire of them. Have a blast playing multiplayer with friends from time to time.

A must have DLC for the base game

Many people criticize the base game for a repetitive game play and very little to do besides to deal with the spamming missions and to mercilessly kill off the hapless main races, not to speak of the meaningless weapon upgrades. This allows for for some very good scenarios Mass Effect style, where you wander around the galaxy and will try to gather allies for the fight against them. Even then, it is still a risky business, especially if they will be able to tech up and build their specialty ships. (Larger maps will lend to this greatly) Weapon variation is present and will mean a lot when dealing with enemies as they have weaknesses for certain damage types. Too many rockets? Feel free to use EMP or remote mines to clear them. Thermal resistant hordes? Not a problem, they die to kinetic weapons easily. Missiles are useless and slow? Get fighters and swarm your foes. Huge amount of armor? Deploy boarding marines who will gut the ships from within. Invasions are adding further immersion to the game, not allowing players to sit back and rest. Not attending to your nurtured and powerful race can result in spreading infestation, declining economy which stops them being effective in wars or push the empire to the brink of a civil war. Challenges to unlock further races is a nice side activity when you are not aiming for higher levels in the campaign. If you can get this when the sale is on it is even better.

Adds reasonable new content, but...

Not enough to warrant the full price of £7.99, not on top of Drox itself being £15,99..... myself, I got them for £3.99 (this DLC) and £6.99 (main game) which I am fully satisfied with. Trouble is, you will be waiting a long time..... Drox and this DLC seldom come up in sales!
