The original Independence War is known as one of the best space sims ever. The use of a Newtonian physics system for flight and technologies that seemed possible set it above the rest of the genre which always seemed to dissolve into an arcade shooter. The downside was a steep learning curve and a game that was hard to master. Edge of Chaos maintains the tradition but adds an open world. It's epic story is aided by space combat that holds true to the original's flight model, but has been made more approachable for the general public.
