Bumping thread, as Hardwar got released on Steam beginning of this year (!)

Anyone tried the Steam version? Does it have the music by Autechre etc ?

Edit. Mods please move this thread to Space games

I loved G-Police back in the day, but I'm kinda worried these games aged badly. Like Shogo Armored Division, which when it came out seemed interesting if just because of what it technically achieved, but when I replayed it some time ago it rather felt clumsy, and railroaded, and the fact I'm not a teenager excited about everything anymore makes it much worse. Is Hardwar still worth playing for someone new, without nostalgia? Action games generally agree poorly, unlike RPGs.

It's not an action game, more like space trading game like Elite. With tons of emergent gameplay, great soundtrack by the leading electronic music artists from the Warp label in the 90ies, and atmosphere

And hard as fuck combat. Be prepared to die, a lot, when trading.

Yes, the original music is in the steam version.
