The story
Large-scale battles have become a vestige of the past, depleting resources of conflicting parties. Settled space, where welfare and order had reigned, has become a cemetery for dead ships which is flooded with pirates and adventurists. Complete impunity, black market flourishing where gun and tech trade is on the move, arbitrariness and anarchy – the Galaxy has become a real dangerous place. Events in the Universe and its habitant’s destiny are completely up to player’s choice and tactical decisions. Star Wolves 3: Civil War is a sequel to the popular real time strategy with RPG elements. Original large-scale scenario, closely tied with the first part of intergalactic epic helps the player influence the ongoing events and foreordain one of many endings. Free roam, free mission selection, free team forming – the world of Star Wolves waits for its heroes.
What it’s like
Drifting between wrecked hulls in a lawless galaxy, the picture is one of salvage yards, dead ships and rough frontier stations where pirates and traders haggle over guns and tech. The mood is tense and unsentimental, with a sense that anything could happen on the next jump. Play is built around open roaming and tactical decisions: you pick your missions, form your own crew, and refit and upgrade your ship between engagements, with progress coming from levelling up and trading. The pace is deliberate and self-directed, more about planning, positioning and managing resources than about constant action, though space battles punctuate the long stretches of travel and trade. Intensity sits in ship-to-ship combat and the threat of losing a vessel; this is not a gentle game, but its violence stays abstract and mechanical rather than gory. It suits players who like sprawling sci-fi sandboxes, long single-player sessions, and building a fleet and reputation of their own in a world that responds to their choices.
