In the relatively wide-open universe of Galactrix, those activities run the gamut; moving from one plot point to the next, exploring the galaxy, or simply attacking random ships in whatever system you happen to be currently rolling through. Add to the mix a faction system that will let you earn (or lose) reputation among the various players in the Galactrix universe and you've got a game that is as deep as the PQ hardcore seem to be clamoring for. While attacking ships of a certain faction will be a surefire way of earning its enmity, you can always regain your standing--and earn some extra cash--by collecting and selling rare items in that system.
The numbers don't lie: With 130 items to collect or build, approximately 80 systems to travel between, and around 30 ships to choose from, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is a big, ambitious take on the PQ formula. Best of all, the changes to the puzzle gameplay at the heart of the game seem like a logical extension of the diabolically addictive original. We can't wait to sink a good chunk of our free time into the game once it's released, and we'll be keeping you informed of its progress until then.
