Star Wolves, a new RTS/RPG from Russian developer X-Bow Software, takes place in the year 2226, one hundred years since humans expanded into space. The known galaxy is controlled by the iron fist of an Emperor and his Imperial navy, but true control rests in the hands of three corporations who have a monopoly over the economies on all inhabited planets. In other words, it sucks to be alive in the universe of Star Wolves. "Only space grants freedom!" exclaims the opening narration. "Are you ready to pay its real price?" And with that, you and your band of unlikely heroes embark on an adventure that spans a full 1.1 gigabytes of deep, cold, outer hard drive space.
