Gamers With Casts doesn't score it:
On one hand it's tough to recommend paying $50 for a five year old PC game that's available for $10 on Steam. If you're a PC gamer as well, that's definitely your best bet. But if you're strictly console only and have missed the space combat genre as much as I have, you could do worse than Darkstar One. Like Star Trek Legacy.
Game Vortex hits it with a 75%:
If you've ever played a 360 degree space shooter, you may want to look into this game. The presentation leaves a lot to be desired and the gameplay gives way to repetition too quickly, but the mechanics are sound and the combat system is easy to enjoy. It may not be for everybody, but DarkStar One - Broken Alliance proves that the space shooter is far from dead.
And Game Critics goes for a 6.0/10:
Although I certainly admire the attempt and have no damning complaints against DarkStar One, the combination of sameness during play and lack of transparency in the game's systems caused the experience to cool off for me before credits rolled. I certainly understand that it's unrealistic to expect a developer to fill an entire "universe" with stunningly unique content, but while DarkStar One's heart might be in the right place, it needs a top-down overhaul before I can recommend that anyone climb aboard for the journey.
