  • Summary: Immerse yourself in Nexus - The Jupiter Incident, a real-time mission-based tactical space game ("what we call a TFS: a Tactical Fleet Simulator") featuring spectacular real time battles and breathtaking motion picture quality. Focus on tactics and action as you control up to a dozen battleships encountering aliens, unknown solar systems and astrophysical phenomena in your struggle to save Earth.At the dawn of the 22nd century the conquest of space and the colonization of the solar system is being monopolized by several huge and ambitious megacorporations. Although extremely delicate and vulnerable, a balance is maintained by these companies. It has now been 60 years since the terrible catastrophe that befell Noah's Ark, the first colony ship of mankind. At the very edge of the solar system the companies make a discovery which will shift the technological advantage and upset the balance. And so a new conflict is born: "The Jupiter Incident". You are Marcus Cromwell, a young but already famous captain. With your legendary spaceship Stiletto you find yourself in the middle of the conflict. [HD Interactive]… Expand

    You'll need to invest yourself and a great deal of time just to learn the nuances of the gameplay and the interface, and making smart intuitive decisions before the missions can save you a lot of trial and error.

    It looks fantastic, but strategy aficionados may find that there's too much of a puzzle-like aspect to the game's missions.

    Nexus plays like a great game that misses the mark almost every step of the way. It's slick, complex, and ambitious. But the potential here is never realized.

    Stunning!! Just played it and still looks great even though it is now more than 6 years old. Immersive and innovative gameplay, why don't they make more of these types of games anymore?… Expand

    Did 26 missions, the second to last mission, Fight for Earth is a nightmare. Spent more time with the spacebar then playing the game. The spacebar pauses the game. Played it on beginner, just who plays it on the upper levels of difficulty, I don't know. Tried the cheats, (the Trainer) and the game just crashes. This could have been and all time great RTS Space Game even better then HomeWorld, but the programs dropped the ball and played mind games on the Fight for Earth Mission. Be well advised to buy this game used and be ready for a lot of hidden secrets and bugs. What a waste of talent that went into this game.… Expand

    Played for 2 hours, still cannot understand anything, nice 3d environment, but poor navigation and very poor control over what units are to do. Also I stillhave no clue how todetermine distance nor range of any unit including my own. My ship spent much of its time shooting useless units and ignoring those that I wanted to destroy. This is not a TFS, but a game of gussing. If you have played homeworld, do not waste your time, as it is a complete let down,not to mention waste of money. I had high hopes for an enjoyable game, but got this. Sometimes it pays to wait before buying a game this is one such time.… Expand
