Review

Pirate Galaxy is a Browser-Based, space combat MMORPG set in the distant future featuring breakthrough 3D graphics and astonishing visual effects. By far its most standout feature is its visuals; in the world of Browser-Based MMORPGs, Pirate Galaxy is one of a kind. However, it’s innovative and enjoyable gameplay comes a close second.

 Very simply, as a smuggler with your very own one-man ship you’ll be conducting various missions on the surface of various planets… in your ship. Yes, your ship is not only capable of orbit jumps and interstellar travel, but also of basic ship-to-bad-guy combat much like a standard MMORPG. Though, instead of roaming a free world, you’ll be sent on specific missions, and you’ll be mostly free to roam them until you’re finished, at which point you’ll fly back into orbit, upgrade your ship, pick a new destination and do it all again.

Many of the quests are really not that bad: there are standard ‘kill X of Y’ missions, escort missions, protection missions and so on, and while the combat isn’t very exciting, it’s not particularly bad and it’s more than enough to keep you entertained while you build up your gold and upgrade your ship. 
So gameplay-wise, Pirate Galaxy has steered away from the 3D-shooter style that is so prominent in the few Sci-Fi MMOS available… and fallen back instead on the very standard fantasy MMO style of grinding ‘on the ground’ and levelling up as you do.

Believe it or not, I’ve actually covered almost all of the notable elements in Pirate Galaxy already. What’s left? Ah, the controls. Basically, it’s a click-to-move system with WASD tacked on the side. WASD doesn’t really work at all, as it takes far too long to respond to commands and makes combat a bother, and the click to move just doesn’t offer the manoeuvrability that it needs to make the combat fun. Yet strangely, it’s not game-breaking and with a little practice it actually feels alright. Now, I’m not saying that it shouldn’t be updated; it should, and fast, but for the time being it isn’t going to stop you from enjoying the core elements of Pirate Galaxy, such as upgrading your ship class and participating in PvP, and it doesn’t stop Pirate Galaxy from being one of the most fantastic looking browser-based MMORPGs to have ever graced this puny planet with its presence.

That said, it’s important to remind you that Pirate Galaxy is a completely Free-to-Play MMORPG; in that regard, it rates very highly. Solid MMORPG gameplay elements merged with all the wonder of the Science Fiction universe does not a bad game make. In fact, it makes a very good one, and even the most sceptical MMORPG enthusiast should definitely give this one a try.  After all, you can start playing in about 2 minutes.
