Reckless Space Pirates Demo

Space is usually depicted as dangerous and full of interesting stuff, but in reality most of it is empty, cold and not that interesting. Naturally, there are amazing things out there, such as pulsars, black holes and huge stars, but they are incredibly far apart from each other. Thankfully, sci-fi movies have a way of ignoring this aspect, since the stories would be pretty boring otherwise.

  Reckless Space Pirates is a text-based adventure game in which you get to pick a side in a great war between space pirates and weird slime aliens. There are many ways to approach the conflict, but the most important part is helping your character evolve in the desired way. Since you have complete control over every scene, the entire story can be played multiple times and never see the same events.   As mentioned before, you can choose whether to form an alliance with the pirates or the slime, depending on what your personal preferences are. Granted, you can always re-play the experience and choose another path, and you can try both sides with ease just to see every facet of the story.  It’s also possible to change things about your character, including gender and a few other things.

The story also allows you to be involved with certain characters in a romantic fashion, which makes things that much more interesting. There are multiple possible partners, and there are no gender restrictions, so you can pretty much try every combination you can think of. Sometimes, your romantic choices have a great impact on the plot as a whole, but the complexity is not quite up there in this regard.   Lastly, it should be mentioned that this is still a fully text-based adventure, so there are no graphics to speak of. Whether you can accommodate to this is entirely up to you, because some modern gamers might not be willing to struggle with all the reading. On the other hand, nothing beats a good story, especially since your imagination does the trick most of the time.

Even it’s not very well-written sometimes and it has many errors and mistakes, Reckless Space Pirates is still a relaxing experience, not to mention fun if you are in the right state of mind. It’s always nice to be able to choose how the plot evolves and play through it multiple times for different results.
