It has a full-color interior and its layout and artwork are on par with other products of the publisher. The 370-paged Elite: Dangerous Roleplaying Game is a massive tome of a book. Modiphius is acting as publisher for E:DRPG and they graciously provided me with a review copy which is basis of this review.
Today I want to have a closer look at this second official Elite Dangerous RPG. So eventually the gave permission to create a second RPG to Spidermind Games. The first was created by one very enthusiastic fan and from what I heard it was extremely detailed and complex and obviously not what Frontier Developments (the company who developed the computer game) expected. In fact there were several authorized Elite: Dangerous RPGs for a while. I was not the only one who thought that there should be other ways to explore this massive universe besides the computer game. Since then its developers have constantly supported it with updates and it’s currently one of the most impressive space simulation games out there. The Kickstarter project was a huge success and in 2014 the game was released. In 2012 David Braben, one of the two initial programmers of Elite, started a Kickstarter campaign for Elite: Dangerous, basically a new version of the original game, which modern graphics, a more realistic flight model, and 400 billion star systems to explore. There seemed to be a whole gaming universe out there, which I would have loved to explore outside of the confines of a computer game. I especially enjoyed a set of short stories which came with the box for Frontier: Elite II. But regardless I always had a soft spot for the game and its sequel Frontier. I also had always trouble with games that forced me to set my own goals. It was unique.Įventually I got a copy of Elite for the PC and played it for a while, but at this point some of the magic had waned. At this time there was no game like this. You could be a peaceful trader, a smuggler, a pirate, a bounty hunter.
The game also allowed you to play how you wanted. Probably because everything was a bit vague and because of the simple graphics you really had to fill in the rest with your own creativity. Each system had a trading station, there was information on each system’s inhabitants, its government type and more.
