About Nexus - The Jupiter Incident

About this game

At the dawn of the 22nd century, the conquest of space and the colonization of the solar system is being monopolized by several huge and ambitious mega-corporations. Although extremely delicate and vulnerable, a balance is maintained by these companies. At the very edge of the solar system, the companies make a discovery which will shift the technological advantage and upset the balance. And so a new conflict is born: "The Jupiter Incident".

Nexus - The Jupiter Incident is a real-time mission-based tactical space game featuring spectacular real-time battles and breathtaking motion picture quality. Focus on tactics and action as you control up to a dozen battleships encountering aliens, unknown solar systems and astrophysical phenomena in your struggle to save Earth.

Base Game, the Soundtrack as DLC still needs to be bought. Got it in a Bundle so the game was only 0,67 Euros for me.
