Star Wraith 2
Star Wraith II (2000-2002) is the second game in the Starwraith 3D Games series.
Star Wraith II has been discontinued. It was released to the public as a publicity stunt for its successor, Star Wraith: Shadows of Orion.
Features
Star Wraith II greatly expanded on Star Wraith, the first game in the series. New features included:
- A linear campaign, replacing the random one on Star Wraith.
- A simple mercenary mode. This was removed in Star Wraith III and later re-released as a full game, called Riftspace.
- In Star Wraith, there was only one music track that acted as the title and menu music. In Star Wraith II, there is a separate music track for the menu.
- Star Wraith II added small particles that looked like stars, allowing players to track their movements.
- Star Wraith II was the first Star Wraith game that allowed players to battle in atmosphere.
Story
Star Wraith II was the first of the Star Wraith games to introduce the Alliance and Federation as warring Terran factions.
Joysticks
Star Wraith II allows the use of a joystick. It is not possible to configure the controls, however.
