Why you might like it

  • A visually striking free-to-play sci-fi space combat MMO from Reakktor Media (the studio behind cyberpunk MMORPG Neocron), offering both first- and third-person real-time space dogfighting.
  • Featured a story and universe written by award-winning sci-fi author Michael Marrak, giving it more narrative polish than many free-to-play space MMOs of its era.
  • Included customizable ships and avatars alongside a resource-based crafting system for ship upgrades.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Shut down on September 26, 2012, roughly a year and a half after its European launch, following financial struggles and developer Reakktor Media's insolvency.
  • A planned spin-off, 'Black Prophecy Tactics: Nexus Conflict,' was announced but does not appear to have materialized into a lasting release.
  • Community efforts to launch private servers have surfaced periodically over the years, but none appear to offer a stable, widely-used alternative to the original service.
