 Game was ahead of it's time. March 3, 2010
MajorGeek (Conway, AR United States)
If you've ever played Eve Online, well this game isn't like that. This is strictly a space combat game, there is no economy to deal with, but the array of control over your ship is vast from weapons to armor, etc. Although it came out five years ago, the graphics are as good or better than Eve's. It didn't sell that well in its day, perhaps because the learning curve was a bit steep. At this price, it is well worth grabbing. There are also many free mods available for it including a Star Trek mod, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate, and Babylon 5.
There is also a forum dedicated to it called Nexus Reborn, which you can join free at [...].
 Not worth the price... well worth playing... December 23, 2009
John Harrigan (Page, AZ)
The price set for this game is simply too high given how limited the game is, the campaign is fairly short and while the graphics are spectacular that is the only thing about this game worth playing it for... if say it had more mods or if they would fix the glitches that are all too apparent the price would be well worth the expense...
Nexus great space epic June 5, 2009
Seasoned Gamer (SF, CA USA)
The company that made nexus went bankrupt. The game has various problems which may have been the caused bad sales. If set the skill on easy, it's turns out hard later on. The graphics are great, but Nexus 2 GFX are better. They should have polished the GFX before releasing it. Some ships look like flying boxes. The gameplay can be annoying. Attack shields then switch command to attack hull, repeat as needed. Some simple changes to the game code could have fixed it. Some bugs were left in the game code that could have been fixed. The talking heads should have been done differently.
On good side, the gameplay is thrilling epic space battles with a great story. You really feel like the fate of the galaxy is on you. The graphics are great. The weapons on shields are right out of star trek and look really cool. The game mod'ing ability makes it so easy to change things. The complex strategy involved leaves you with many different ways to defeat the enemy. The game interface is straightforward and simple.
If I can find a way, i'd produce a limited release of the original game, drm malware free. This game with some changes had the potential of being one great games of all time.

A Great Bargain Bin Find September 9, 2008
S. Clark
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When this game was released its success was marred by a number of game stopping bugs, and a somewhat unfinished campaign. Those bugs have since been patched, and if you take care to see that you've got the correct patch for your version, this is actually a really great tactical space combat strategy game.
Though the campaign does seem unfinished with a rather unsatisfying ending, highly customizable ships, great ship and effects graphics, and a surprisingly well done story with quality voice acting, make this game a great bargain bin buy.
This is the game I've always wanted February 11, 2007
D. Rodrigues (Bethesda, Maryland United States)
If you enjoy science fiction, space operas, huge battles in space with massive ships tricked out with outrageous weapons, buy this game. But don't stop there, if you want a game with a great story, wide open options to customize and manage your fleet, and top-notch voice acting, again, buy this piece of software magic. It is a steal. Why this game has not won tons of awards is a mystery. If you have been tempted to buy more expensive space combat games with the words trek in them, you'll have far more fun with Nexus.

If you love technology, play online poker and have fun with your computer.
It's clear which online casino strives to keep ahead of the technological curve and which ones slack off behind. For the most part, the online casino that likes to stay ahead is also the one who is the most reliable, offers the best promotions and customer service. |
