DarkStar One Demo Friday

GameSpot has a timer counting down to the release of an English playable demo for DarkStar One, showing that a sample of Ascaron's space exploration and combat game is on the way. The counter currently reads just over 1 day and 15 hours, putting the planned release at about Noon Eastern time on Friday. Word is: "This DarkStar One demo (950 MB) contains a huge variety of worlds, equipment upgrades, and alien races, offering the player an estimated two-plus hours of gameplay. The demo also contains an extensive tutorial that follows the storyline direct from the full retail game. As with the full game, the demo offers players the opportunity to play in free-form mode, create their own adventure on the fly, or follow the storyline to learn more about the death of the lead character's father, and the mysterious ship, the DarkStar One."

Finished the German version of the game.

Cool space shooter, nice story, but gets repetitive after a while. You always have to get a better jump drive in order to get to the next story system and in order to buy it you have to do pirate/trade/escort missions, which are almost always the same.

You only have 1 ship (Darkstar One), but it can be upgraded by picking up "artifacts". It not only changes the stats of the ship (front, middle, back), but also the appearance, so it has some RPG elements.

But other than that, a nice story driven space adventure.
