Oh man I remember that whole series was marketed as "the big" Halo-killer at the time, they were so confident they even had some million(?) dollar prize for whoever found some sort of secret in the game. Not sure if that ever actually happened or if it was just a marketing ploy.
But the game itself was fun, and I remember being able to dual wield rocket launchers and had space magic, so I was happy haha.
Looking back on it it was like it wanted to be an early Mass Effect. Full on space opera story, cool complex alien races, tons of cutscene story telling. I'm sure the game doesn't hold up anymore but man I was invested!
It's available on steam! I loved this game when I was a kid so I made sure to pick it up just because I had rented it back in the day. I haven't played it to see if it holds up but I still have my memories
Oh dang I didnt know it came to steam! I am tempted to buy it but also feeling like I should just let it stay in my childhood memories.
