Legends of Pegasus


Description:
Legends of Pegasus takes players into the depths of space. This 4X space simulation will put players in control of the last surviving humans, as they explore space in a quest to expand their galactic empire. Players will conquer and explore an incredibly detailed 3D universe as they use economic, diplomatic and scientific means to expand their empires. Through a deep technology tree, players will unlock new technologies to customize their ships and prepare their fleets for the next alien encounter ? be it hostile or friendly.

I have to give credit to Novacore Studios for attempting to add a storyline to the experience. There is a reason why 4X strategy games don’t have storied campaigns, as it is very difficult to corral players into a story while still giving them the freedom to explore the galaxy. Legends of Pegasus takes a page out of my favorite show, Battlestar Galactica, and has you commanding the remnants of the human race who were driven from Earth after a surprise alien attack. In search of survival, you command a small fleet that must assemble the pieces back together through colonization, technology research, and of course fight off the imminent alien force that is threatening your very existence. The story is given to you though talking portraits in game and when you hit certain milestones, you are treated to a motion comic that elaborates on the current events. There are three playable races: the survivalist humans, the insectoid Anthrox, and the cybernetic X’or, each with their own four episodes. There are predictable plot twists and unimagined characters making the overall story experience lackluster, proving again that 4X games don’t need a plot.
