Game-play wise Ascaron Entertainment have recognised absolutely what gamers want. Darkstar One is first and foremost an action game. Those hoping to trade their way through the game in the style of the X series, I'm sorry, this game isn't for you. At some point you'll have to get your hands dirty and dish out some pain. Yet while it remains a simple action game at core, Darkstar One does away with level-based missions and instead opts for a much more open-ended approach.
