Sci Fi Adventure, sprawling and very detailed
Star Saga: Two - The Clathran Menace is a very detailed ASCII clad adventure game, that will transport you in a very interesting universe, full of interesting creatures, alien races and technology. If you care for calling cards, this one sure has a great one – it has been produced by Andrew Greenberg, none other than the original creator of Wizardry and a couple of other greats that will continue to play important roles in gaming for the years to come. The game, while adventure at its core, also has important portions of 4X, that is exploration, also choose your own adventure mechanics and plot continuation as well as pen and paper role playing elements that govern the encounters. So, even if the graphics are not by any means outstanding, you will be immersed in the game both mechanically as well as storywise, and will have an important influence on the history of this digital universe. I will also say that the game consists of no less than 888 text passages, that create a very immersive, very detailed world, with characters that are individuals and not only quest givers. But yes, you need to keep your graphical expectations low, and if you do that you can be sure that the game will deliver a great quality adventure. And, very importantly, before you start playing, make sure you find and download PDFs of the original cloth maps, so you will be able to play properly.
