Think you have what it takes to stabilize an entire sector of the galaxy, no matter the cost? Drox Operative pushed its way through Greenlight and is now featured on Steam proper. The charming (though incredibly deep) space sim clocks in at $19.99 regularly, though it's going for a cool $9.99 until February 25th.
Even though I don't play very many of them, I am delighted that "hyper complex space sims," as a genre, exist. There is a dedicated fan base out there who will definitely invest in a product like Masters of Orion, but games of this nature don't necessarily penetrate the market.

Action RPGs seem to be a dime a dozen lately, or perhaps completely free like Path of Exile. But one thing a lot of them have in common is they all kind of feel similar in terms of their setting.

Drox Operative, the top down space RPG from Soldak, is getting it's first expansion pack later this summer. Called "Invasion of the Ancients" it'll add new gameplay elements and a new race to the game.
Soldak Entertainment have released a demo for Drox Operative, a space ship combat RPG for the PC. While the game isn't exactly like "Diablo in space," it does remind me of another classic PC game - Star Control. It's a little less twitch based, but there's huge galaxies to explore and lots of ship to ship combat to engage in.
Din's Curse was a completely underrated Action/RPG on the PC. With near infinte amount of players and some truly dynamic core systems, we couldn't help but give it a 4 out of 5 in our review. The two man development crew of it, Soldak Entertainment, is back with new game. Like Din's Curse it's an Action/RPG - unlike it though it's all about space and ship to ship combat. The game is called Drox Operative and we're quite excited about the co-op possibilities of this one.
