The story background of the game is spread across four extensive campaigns, each consisting of four missions. The script is written very skillfully – we follow the fates of different heroes whose paths intertwine in one large storyline. There is no shortage of unexpected twists, political intrigues, or personal betrayals, which keep the player’s attention even in moments when the gameplay itself starts to feel repetitive.
The atmosphere is built primarily through excellent audiovisual processing. Each of the five factions has its own character. We find space totalitarian moles who feel appropriately oppressive, anarchist pirates, fascinating organic beings, classic human alliances, and a technologically advanced race of robots. Each side of the conflict possesses a unique visual style and, above all, specific musical accompaniment that perfectly underlines the identity of the given race.
