Video Game Reviews of Nexus: The Jupiter Incident
Customer Review: A Great Bargain Bin Find
Summary: 4 Stars
When this game was released its success was marred by a number of game stopping bugs, and a somewhat unfinished campaign. Those bugs have since been patched, and if you take care to see that you've got the correct patch for your version, this is actually a really great tactical space combat strategy game.
Though the campaign does seem unfinished with a rather unsatisfying ending, highly customizable ships, great ship and effects graphics, and a surprisingly well done story with quality voice acting, make this game a great bargain bin buy.
