From The HipMen are on a roll when it comes to covering new titles for the Xbox One. They have provided us with hours of entertainment through previews of the most exciting games. Today, Greg and Lee play Starpoint Gemini 2.
Captain your own space ship and roam the galaxy in this tactical space simulator with tons of RPG depth! Space has never looked so inviting – but images can betray…It has been two years since the end of the second Gemini war, the situation in the wartorn system is further from resolution than ever. The collection of freedom fighters named Gemini League is now reduced to a small group, with no power or influence, after losing their leaders.
The Empire meanwhile, has used the re-opened Starpoint to occupy the once renegade Gemini sector-and beyond. A multitude of Imperial warship fleets and mammoth motherships have crushed every trace of opposition. The situation was looking bleak, when they suddenly halted their armada and re-shifted their focus on fortifying Starpoint with staggering numbers. Rumours soon spread that they were afraid of something coming after them through the T-gate, from what was supposed to be the core of the Empire. What are they running from that makes even the mighty Empire tremble? Starpoint Gemini 2 will take players on a breath taking journey, with dark secrets and unimaginable twists that will finally unveil the incredible truth.
