Absolutely amazing for its time!
So, this is an older game, so of course its graphics are outdated. That being said, there is an awful lot to love about this game. The world-building is deep and rich and has meaningful applications to your game experience. It has mystery, suspense, drama, humor, and heart. In many ways, the world it has created often reminds me of Star Control II, with many different alien races, each with their own guiding psychological traits. The game provides several different scenarios, with different alien species interacting in a variety of ways. Exploration is crucial. Make alliances, trade with friendly species, break up evil empires (or join them), stop world-ravaging aliens (or become their accomplices). You can be a benevolent hero or you could choose to dominate the star sector with an iron fist. There's more than one way to achieve your ultimate objective of finding a new world for the human race, but keep in mind that your methods matter, and humanity will have to live with the results of your actions. So, you can still win the game temporarily only to set up humanity for its doom. The combat is moderately paced. Each alien species has a very different approach to battle. Some have heavy shields and are only vulnerable in very small target areas. One race has ships that are essentially giant chainsaws that rely on melee combat. Another race is a time traveler that adds ships to the battle by traveling through time, and taking out "older" iterations of the ships also eliminates the younger iterations. One species has a powerful telepathic influence that won't allow you to attack them unless they want you to. In summary, this is an excellent game, and I'm happy to recommend it to you.
