Preview: Freeform Space (by Spectre Software)



Game: Freeform Space
Genre:  Space Shooter
Developer:  Spectre Software

 Freeform space is the newest project by Spectre Software.  This sequel features some pretty graphics that I'm sure will only get better as the game comes closer to completion.  The current beta we got to test only has a few features, but it was enough to get a basic feel for the game at this early stage of development.

A peice of the story from the developer "Freeform Sace is a futuristic space game where the player is an independent star pilot with the freedom to decide his own future. Set in a freeform universe, the player is free to make his or her fortune in anyway he or she wishes - becoming a trader, a pirate, a mercenary, an explorer, a courier, a stock broker, a bounty hunter, a smuggler, an assassin, or any mix of these. Freeform is a very exciting action space game with something for everyone!"

I think the most disappointing part of the beta was not being able to play the different areas that sound so exciting in the story from the developer.  Currently the beta offers the ability to pilot the ship around a planet and to destroy a few enemy fighters with a primary weapon: lasers and a secondary weapon: missiles.  The website shows that there are many weapons planned, each aligning with the different planets and presumably the way you can seek your fortune. 

After dispatching the enimies, you can dock at the spacestation or just fly around a little.  Again the beta shows the game quite early in production, but I'm excited to see how this one progresses.
