About

Starpoint Gemini 2 (abbreviated to SPG2 or SG2) is a space trading and combat simulator developed by the Croatian-based Little Green Men Games (LGM Games) development studio. It is a direct sequel to Starpoint Gemini, which was released in 2010.

›Story

It has been two years since the end of the second Gemini war, the situation in the wartorn system is further from resolution than ever.

The collection of freedom fighters named Gemini League is now reduced to a small group, with no power or influence, after losing their leaders. The Empire meanwhile, has used the re-opened Starpoint to occupy the once renegade Gemini sector - and beyond. A multitude of Imperial warship fleets and mammoth motherships have crushed every trace of opposition. The situation was looking bleak, when they suddenly halted their armada and re-shifted their focus on fortifying Starpoint with staggering numbers.

Rumours soon spread that they were afraid of something coming after them through the T-gate, from what was supposed to be the core of the Empire. What are they running from that makes even the mighty Empire tremble?

Gameplay

The player can choose to play campaign or freeroam mode. The game features an extensive space simulation gameplay where the player is put in control of capital ships instead of more classic approach of controlling fighter based vehicles.

The player has a high degree of freedom in the game. Available professions include space pirate, trader, privateer, asteroid miner, gas miner, scientist, explorer, salvager and lawkeeper. The player is open to explore these professions freely, but there is a set class that is picked upon character creation. The three classes are Commander, Gunner and Engineer.

Reception

Starpoint Gemini 2 has been generally favorable by critics. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the game 74.09% and 70/100.

Patrick Carlson from PC Gamer described the game as one of the most positive and relaxing game experiences he has had in a long time.
