[h2] Тактикульный симулятор звездолёта [/h2] Именно симулятор. Это не тот рельсовый фан из Ребелион. Тут у тебя все органы управления транспортом, несколько степеней газа, выбор вооружения, наводка на цель, ориентирование в космическом пространстве, работа по целям. Здесь тебе нужно перераспределять энергию с движков, на щиты, с шитов на оружие и обратно, в зависимости от обстановки, что люто добавляет атмосферы и работает на геймплей. Так же звук, со звуком порядок, он буквально сошёл с киноленты, Лукасы это умеют. Очень атмосферно и аутентично. По сюжету здесь, кроме пересечения немного с 4 эпизодом и общей вселенной ничего особо нет, различные миссии, уничтожение, сопровождение и т.д., Но вот реализация геймплея каждую миссию превращает в нечто великое. [h2] Фишки [/h2] - 3 игры в одной. Тут есть и DOS-порт из 93, есть CD версия с чуток улучшенной графикой и совсем новая на движке X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter (Та самая special, её и рекомендую проходить) - Действительно интересный симулятор космических сражений, где нужно ещё и думать, а не только стрелять - Это прародитель всего, чего мы знаем из космошутанов. Ближайщий пра-правнук это система полетов в Starfield. - Различные типы кораблей и иксы и уаи и а и б-крылья, выбрать есть из чего [h2] Обломы [/h2] - Без геймпада никак, серьезно, в это практически нереально играть на клавиатуре - Высокий порог вхождения. Если нет желания разбираться, скорее всего Вы не станете в неё играть - Отсутствие локализации. Только английский, нет ни русика, ни владика, только если нейронку прикрутите, а контента, в том числе лорного хватает [b] Итоговый вердикт. Игра мне понравилась, но даётся она тяжеловато. Человеку не фанатеющему по Звездным войнам или любителям просто заскочить на полчасика убить время я бы её не рекомендовал. Просто потратите деньги. Но если Вы фанатеете по Стар Ворс, либо любите космосимуляторы, то Вы по адресу, покупаем, не задумываясь [/b]

It doesn't work on modern OS and is essentially unplayable, even if you do have a controller. It's essentially a non functional game being sold here. There are a source port/mod to fix the game, but I can't be bothered to deal with that. I appreciate the fact you can get the game/files legally at least but still...

I have been playing on the steam deck. The game runs out of the box and can be modded for better graphics and 3D hardware. It took me a while to figure out a good control layout but after that everything was sweet. It has been wild playing this game on the go. Last time I played this was on a 486 back in the 90s and you needed a joystick as mouse support was not a thing. The story is great. It took me 30 hours to finish the main game Tours 1 to 3. Eventually I’ll play all the DLC (included in this game). This game is old school and from an era when Star Wars was not ruined by Disney. The game starts to get more interesting from tour 2 onward but over all the progression is difficult, missions are brutal, there is no way to know a mission is complete or failed so you will be replaying missions to complete all the goals that Akbar does not mention in the briefs. If you know you know. Definitely give this a go if you are into retro space sims.

[h1]A timeless classic.[/h1] [h3]Legendary space combat simulator, not just in the DOS times, starting one of the best, soulful Star Wars game series and helping establish arguably a golden era for Star Wars PC game development.[/h3]      [b]S[/b]adly, it has been neglected for a long, long time with no hope for improvement in the near future. Although much less appreciated Star Wars games have been, surprisingly, retouched, remastered and otherwise brought to digital circulation, giving a legal means to acquire them in the modern era. If Jedi Power Battles can get some attention, then there must be some hope for the X-Wing/TIE Fighter saga. As a ‘90s space sim it's more mechanically archaic and less approachable then some other, streamlined concepts, like action-adventure games from the sixth+ generation (Bounty Hunter), the formula alone is an alluring one, has small but passionate following and with some leadership changes at Disney and more liberal handing out of SW licences, there might be a window for a competent studio to tackle a modarately-budgeted, modern take on this design. On a level deeper than Squadron's, at least.    [b]O[/b]therwise, even a Nightdive Studios‘ remaster package alone would be a great gift, if the IP owners are interested in safer, bigger bets for a more casual audience (Galactic Racer), instead of trying the reignate the late 80s/90s space sim craze . Before that, since X-Wing SE most likely won't be updated outside of some tiny, critical hotfixes- tips for making it run on modern operating systems and hardware and fan patches are out there. So grab Jérémy Ansel's [i]xwa_ddraw_d3d11[/i], prepare PCGW tips and Steam guides, and hope for the best. And in the case of looking for more, so far the best shot to take is trying the ambitious XWVM project: moddb.com/mods/xwvm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss2xDcqqdMo

Better than DCS World in every way.

[h1]„That was one in a million.“[/h1] Along with Star Wars Rebel Assault and Command & Conquer Red Alert, it was this game that made me realize back in the mid 90s that the PC is the superior gaming platform. In the meantime since then, Rebel Assault has turned from a guilty pleasure to one of the worst games ever made and Red Alert is still the greatest RTS game, but got some serious competition by its own successors and the likes of Age of Empires 2. The X-Wing series on the other hand is still something very unique and after playing the original for the first time in nearly 30 years, i remembered within minutes why it made me waste week after week on my dad‘s old DOS- and Windows 3.1-powered 3/86 back in 1996. X-Wing runs perfectly on modern systems without any compatibility issues or necessary bugfixing at all and it is perfectly playable with a common Xbox controller (maybe even better than with a classic joystick). The attention to detail, distinct classic Star Wars atmosphere and general amount of effort and refinement that were put into this thing are barely matched by any other Star Wars game of the last two decades and for 1993 standards X-Wing actually looks, sounds and plays basically flawless. The first time i booted it up again i had only planned to set up my Xbox controller, but within moments i got hooked again and played for over 2 hours straight. Now you might scream „Nostalgic Star Wars fanboy alert!“, but believe me, even if you are not a hardcore Star Wars fan that was born long before 1990, you‘ll find that this game aged like fine wine. Star Wars X-Wing is not only one of the best and most groundbreaking space combat simulations and a Top 10 greatest Star Wars game ever made: If it wasn‘t for Doom, this would be by far the most amazing game of the year 1993 and i dare say that it is maybe even one of the greatest PC games of all time in general. ______________________________ STAR WARS X-WING Genre: Simulation Release: Q1 1993 ( ) 0/8 Simply one of the worst games ever made. Don't waste any money on this. ( ) 1/8 Bad. Seriously flawed with barely any redeeming qualities. Worth a couple of Cents at best, if at all. ( ) 2/8 Sub-par. Only for hardcore-fans of respective genre / series. Don't pay more than 5 bucks. ( ) 3/8 Meh-diocre. It‘s okay. Don't pay more than 10 bucks. ( ) 4/8 Decent, but not for everybody. Don't pay more than 15 bucks. ( ) 5/8 Good game, Must-play for genre- / series-fans. Worth 20 to 25 bucks max, if you are not a fan. ( ) 6/8 Great game, universal recommendation. 30 bucks would be a steal for this. (X) 7/8 Outstanding game, a milestone of it‘s respective genre. Definitely worth its full prize. ( ) 8/8 Simply one of the best games ever made. Get this, the prize doesn't matter.
