Star Wolves is a product of Russian game developers X-Bow Software. It is a fine example of a treasure one can find outside of the mainstream gamers market. I stumbled across several months ago, and was quite pleased. Its a title that appeals to those who are fond of the hybrid RPG+tactics type game. The open world feel of the game mixed with an excellent ambiance-like soundtrack really gives you the feeling that your flying about in space. That said, this is not an open exploration type of game. You are given fairly linear perimeters with each mission, and you cannot progress unless you complete the objectives given to you. The combat is fun, and the turn based pause like feature is welcome. My one real critique against this game is the English translation, which seems to be a bit off. Great game. Lots of fun. Definitely worth the buy!
