While Miner Wars 2081 classifies itself as a survival-action space shooter, one cannot understate its focus on narrative storytelling. Set in the year 2081, 11 years after a catastrophic event that left the solar system a shattered fragment of its former self, you play as Apollo, a young pilot for the Euro-American Confederation. After a sudden attack on a mining outpost by the Russians, you are promptly thrust into the action as you try to uncover the motives behind their sudden strike.
While Miner Wars 2081 sits on what could potentially be a good in-game universe that gamers can definitely get behind, the lack of variety in gameplay makes it fall quite short from being decidedly worthy enough title for those who may be into this type of gameplay.
Daav plays Miner Wars 2081 for CW Games. While ambitious and filled with great ideas in theory, none of them pair up in execution and further hinder the game to an almost unplayable or pointless state.

This game looks awesome, also currently 20 percent off on steam so 19.99 instead of 24.99.
Think I'm going to buy it.
