Storyline

Ser Lev Arris wakes up in a hospital on the planet Crius and has no idea who he is and where he is coming from. He is told by a doctor that he had been frozen 10 or more years ago because he had a disease which was not curable then and that his starship crashed shortly before arriving at Crius star port. As he recovers in the hospital still without any memory he is hijacked by two men in dark uniforms and put in a starship where he looses consciousness. When he wakes up again, he finds himself to be on the planet Hermes. An adventure to find out about his roots begins... Written by Oliver Heidelbach

Quotes

[Lev Arris goes aboard the Kindred flagship and comes face-to-face with his brother, a hideously disfigured man dragging along some kind of pumping organ on a long, veiny tail]
Kronos: You! You look... you look the same. How I hated that face. And how I loved my own.
Lev Arris: Well it's just as well you're so well adjusted, Sar, otherwise that could have driven you a little crazy. You look like shit, by the way.
Kronos: Shit? Shit? Still the same old smug Vell, eh? Well, your face might be new, but that's the only thing ...

Interesting engine, poor streaming video
15 December 1999 | by (Los Angeles, California) – See all my reviews

The first time I heard of this game the title was only 'The Darkening' and the preview of it interested me. When it got the Privateer label I thought it would be even better, but I was confused because the preview described a game that took place in a different universe than that of the Wing Commander series, which is where the first game is set.

Regardless, this game has an interesting and stylish flight engine which I thought was really cool--except the fact that you can't hyper-jump when enemies are around, forcing you to fight them (very annoying). Not to mention some of the cool landing cutscenes and interesting computer interfaces in port.

However, the video scenes are pretty bad and have poorly mixed audio--half the time I couldn't understand what anyone was saying.
