Description

Space Pirates And Zombies is a top-down open-world science-fiction space action / combat RPG somewhat reminiscent of classic games like the Star Control series but far more advanced. A completely new universe is generated every time you start a new game. You are in charge of an ever growing and evolving fleet of ships and there is a huge universe to explore. You do missions for the different factions in each area and make friends and enemies based on your actions. There is a detailed technology and a level-up system as you would expect from an RPG. You collect resources, do research, build & upgrade you ships and can trade collected resources for new weapons schematics and parts schematics. All the while, a larger threat, a Space Zombie infection is spreading throughout the system and you must find ways to deal with and combat this as well.

Don't buy this crap

The Good
nothing

The Bad
stupid ship management, dumb controls, inability to "dispatch" ships on a mission, inability of AI to follow the right-click order (instead it's just a mark for when the player switches to that ship), and lots more.

The Bottom Line
A messy, half-butted single-player take on Dark Orbit, rather than Star Control as the developers claim.
