About DarkOrbit Reloaded

Humanity’s reckless use of Jump Gates triggered a brutal alien retaliation that almost annihilated Earth. In the aftermath, three rival conglomerates emerged: Earth Industries Corporation (EIC), Mars Mining Operations (MMO), and Venus Resources Unlimited (VRU). For generations, their strife has cloaked  the stars in a never-ending fog of war! Dark Orbit is a long-running free-to-play space MMO. Join the fray today and battle for dominance across a fractured galaxy alongside millions of players!

Bugged pay-to-win mess, every update is an attempt at milking the current dying playerbase. You're better off playing one of the clones out there

I remember back in the day when this game actually worked. A pity it no longer does, I managed to fix the blank white screen by enabling compatibility for Windows 8, worked for a few days. Then came the next screen, the Black screen that just sits there and stares at you right after you login. Can't play something broken, should have abandoned Dark Orbit when Flash was exiled and made a sequel for it instead. What a shame they would rather be lazy and rebuild an old worn out game, and actually break it in the process, rather than just build a new game for us.

this was once a great game. but the P2W and hackers have ruined the game and the devs seem not to care one bit bout it. they have let this game go so far down hill. its not even worth trying to play again for childhood memories

I used to play this game many years ago, and thought I'd dip my toe back in see how things are. Left after a few minutes. Clunky, over monetised and the interface just too cluttered. Real pity as it used to be a good way to idle away a few hours.

Too many bugs/glitches and crazy server ping/lag

Sekiro cheap: what our price record shows, and what to avoid

Search Sekiro cheap and the results are keyshop listings, not a store discount. Our three-month price record explains the gap, and why so few live offers changes the advice.
