Our take on Drox Operative 2
The central constraint is that the player commands a single starship, while the surrounding alien civilizations pursue a broader 4X-style struggle.
What is Drox Operative 2?
Drox Operative 2 is a starship action RPG set amid conflict between alien races.
Players captain one ship rather than manage an empire, choosing which races and factions to support as they compete through diplomacy, technology, colonization, and war. Each game takes place in a distinct galaxy sector with changing races, quests, enemies, and ship components. Combat and exploration sit within a wider struggle among civilizations, and a captain’s actions and inaction affect the balance of power. Ships can be outfitted with components and crew, while co-op multiplayer lets players adventure with friends. The game is available for Windows and Linux.
