When in battle the game turns real-time for a nice change of pace. I believe it is this fan base that is helping with the language conversions. Missions are plug-ins. In some missions, you build an empire from scratch. In others, you have to manage a well-developed empire.
Goals are various, from the crush all opposition to capture the flag, reconnaissance.
The Fighter Galore mission, for instance, is about tons of fighters wrecking havoc on the Universe. Quite fun and exciting to watch too KnightSoft claims that StarKnights is easy to learn, but difficult to master. Maintaining your empire will require a decent amount of skill and being able to accomplish this should feel very rewarding. While this title may not have a big name behind it, it still offers a lot in the forms of re-playability and actual gameplay and strategy. If you download the software you may find yourself suddenly absorbed in its charm.
