Not that the original was in anyway small, but this sequel provides a great set up for a galaxy full of adventure.Īfter you help out your rather mercenary saviour, he gives you a rust bucket of a mining ship to help you on your long and perilous journey back to Terran space. It’s all very Buck Rogers, but it’s also a great way to expand the scope of the Galaxy on Fire concept to new and epic proportions. ![]() The game picks up - and essentially begins - when an asteroid miner salvages your ship and finds you alive and confused inside. Shortly afterwards, you're thrown across space and time during a hyperdrive malfunction. You're introduced to the gameworld during the culminating phases of a civil war. You’re straight back into the cockpit of heroic fighter pilot and mercenary Keith Maxwell, and the action is instantaneous enough to ensure the game immediately lives up to its name. Right from the outset Galaxy on Fire 2 has set itself up to bring in the legions of fans who’ve spent the last three years flying around the fantastic asteroid field of the original, fending off the mighty invaders of Terran space. Others, like Galaxy of Fire 2, wait a respectful length of time so we’re primed and gasping for the next instalment. They reek of capitalism, and often kill the original game within its own lifetime. Maybe not romantic love, but love all the same-the sort of accepting, all-knowing love that they always needed.Sometimes sequels come along too soon. In a strange, sick way, it’s a miracle that they found each other, because their relationship becomes something reminiscent of love. If Amy and Danny had had more support throughout their lives, if they weren’t so alienated from themselves and others, none of this would have happened. This punishment paves the way for future violence. People in great pain struggle to live “normal” lives and are often punished for the ways in which they struggle. The future looks bleak, yet the show’s message is clear: violence begets violence, and anger begets anger, yet at its core there is a truth which merits further investigation. And it’s unfortunate that it took multiple instances of violence, fury, and pain to make that happen, but that’s ultimately how things shook out. More than that, they needed someone like them to do it. Yet all they ever really needed was for someone to reach out, dig in, and see them for who they really were. Both Danny and Amy are able to sneak out unharmed, finding that Junie has been safely taken into custody, but Amy would never see her again. Paul is initially reluctant, up until Danny admits that, many years ago, he threw out his college acceptance letters, thus preventing Paul from having any sort of future of his own. The police show up and a shootout occurs, in which Isaac and his goons are shot down, and Danny forces Paul to leave without him. Jordan makes a run for it, and she and Naomi book it for the “safe room.” But when Naomi gets there first, and shuts the door early out of panic, Jordan is sliced in half by the industrial-grade doors, making her the season’s first death-and it’s a truly gruesome, nauseating one. This is where things get sticky: the crew arrives (with Junie safe in an SUV), and Jordan, her partner Naomi, and Amy are held at gunpoint. Amy then gives the crew Jordan’s location, telling them (with no small degree of malice toward Jordan) that her house is loaded and they can easily rob more than $500k from her collections. ![]()
