Galaxy on Fire 3D
It is the 4th millenium and mankind is at war with the Vossk Empire for the
control of many star systems. Keith T. Maxwell is a mercenary working for
criminals, the Terran Alliance and even the Vossk Empire, using his booty to
better his business.
_Galaxy on Fire_ is a 3D space shooter with trade elements. The player takes
on the role of Maxwell, engaging on missions for money and goods which can be
traded with 10 different species. The price of goods fluctuate according the
offer and demand from 500 planets and space stations. Ten spaceships are
available to be chosen from and can be upgraded with new weapons, shields,
drives and such.
The spaceship is controlled from a third person view in missions such as
escorting transport fleets or combats against the Vossks. Controls include
shooting (which can be set to auto-fire), changing weapons and activating an
afterburner (which has to be recharged after use).
At the beginning his first adventure, Keith T. Maxwell joins the Terran Space Fleet as a mercenary and quickly emerges to become a key figure in the hard-fought war against the Vossk, an aggressive race of insectoid aliens, whose long-lasting feud with the Terrans is far from being settled. During his service under the honourable Admiral Smith, Keith makes the acquaintance of and falls in love with the charming lieutenant Christine Hammond. But in a galaxy torn apart by turmoil and deceit, tragedy and romance are two sides of the same coin and hence the Vossk, as well as a number of other dubious characters such as the devious space criminal Vlad Borsikov, try everything in their might to make life as hard as they can for the two intergalactic love birds…
