Nexus: The Jupiter Incident

I played Homeworld. I liked it. I liked this game more. Not as a memorable though. Really it had a more compelling story but it didn't have the cut scenes to make it stick in your mind. Even so I remember the ending being epic. The game play and everything else about this game is better then HW. If you liked HW you should get this one. It's way more story and tactics driven then HW but the plot keeps you humming along. In game looks really good and at the time I thought they could do a really good Babylon 5 mod. But not having the human touch that was put into the cut scenes does take away from the story. Still it's a really good game, well worth playing.

An incredible, epic game. Superb story and gameplay. The nuances and depth are beyond compare. Just recently picked it Up. How did I miss this? Superb, challenging and a vision !

One of the few games with profund aspects of sci-fi, an imersive ambient, and a lot of nice surprises. Really sad that Nexus2 couldnt reach the necessary funds on kickstarter.

No matter what you do, your ship has other ideas

Nexus: TJI is often compared with Homeworld. While the latter came out 5 years earlier, it still has the timeless beauty that Nexus shows as well. However, this is not the only trait that both space-RTS's share. It is the hard, unforgiving gameplay that more often than not makes you rage-quit, only to try it again one or two days later, this time with another strategy. Really, these games are NOT for the easily frustrated. However, they reward you with the knowledge that you have actually mastered the next mission, ideally without losing your main units (as in: capital ships). Also, both stories are nicely developed and make you want to know more. In short, if you loved Homeworld, Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is the game for you to play.
