Star Wolves 3: Civil War

Original Star Wolves was an old school space tactics game, with a unique and challenging space fighter combat and a linear, but immersive story. You command a mothership with several fighters, which fly in 3d space, try to get on each other's tail and make attack runs, with real-time calculation of shell hits and importance of positioning.

This is not a game for everyone. Play the first one if you have not yet, it's the best part of the series. If you like the gameplay then you can try this game afterwards.

Keep also in mind that for normal players the difficulty levels are not labeled correctly. There is no easy setting!...

Interesting tactical space game. Mixes in some RPG and management elements. Fun combat and an interesting story mode with multiple outcomes. It was a bit buggy at times particularly in handling the quest objectives but otherwise a playable game. It's a pretty expansive game universe and plenty to do in it so definitely worth the low price!
