Dark Orbit Reloaded is a free to play space shooter from Bigpoint. Free to play and accessible through your web browser, the game allows players to carve out their own fortune, buying and modifying their ships and battling with AI and rival players across the stars. Let’s put the game through its paces and after asking a number of questions and starting out at 100% free, losing points with seemingly more premium options, we’ll see how free the game really is.

 
Does it require purchasing?

'No'

The game is completely free to play.

 

 
Does it have monthly subscription fee?

'No' (but...) ― -10%

Whilst the game has no compulsory subscription to play, players can purchase a premium membership subscription. Premium subscription grants free ship repairs anywhere, 50% off drone repairs and shorter rocket reload time, all radar CPU advantages, 500 extra units of cargo space, and much more, giving players a minimal advantage.

 

 
Do you have to pay for expansions and/or DLC packs?

'No'

All the games content is provided for free.

 

 
Does the game support micro-transactions? Can anything be purchased in-game using real world money?

'Yes' ― -5%

Players can earn Uridium premium currency in the game to purchase a wide variety of items, but it can be purchased with real money as opposed to having to grind for it. There are other microtransaction premium boosts and perks that can be purchased including Doubler Advantage Pack that grants double the contents of every Bonus Box or various “Shield Packs” to equip your ships with extremely powerful level 5 upgrades.

 

 
Do micro-transactions give advantages in any way?

'Yes' (but...) ― -10%

The Shield Packs can provide players with an elite shield, which is one of the most powerful shields in the game, which makes them extremely hard to kill in PVE but also PVP. The shields can be purchased in game with Uridium and Credits, but they are extremely expensive. Aside from this being able to purchase any item in the game with Uridium, which can be bought with cash, means players spending money can outfit their ships however they like for the most part.

 

 
Is full UI customization restricted?

'No'

There are no UI customization options.

 

 
Does the game grant access to all the available races and/or classes ?

'Yes'

The game doesn’t have any races and all ship classes are available.

 

 
Does the game have limitations to how the Market system is accessed?

'No'

The game doesn’t restrict access to these systems if a free to play member.

 

 
Are inventory slots and/or personal bank slots limited in any way?

'Yes' ― -10%

Premium users are able to have 500 extra units of cargo space.

 

 
Are all zones accessible without purchases?

'Yes'

All areas of the game are fully accessible

 

 
Is High-end Content (PvP or PvE raids) restricted?

'No'

High-end content is accessible by all account types

 

 
Can you fully enjoy the game without paying a single 'penny'?

'Yes' (but...) ― +10%

Whilst players can get ahead quickly by purchasing starter packs, advantage packs, or just increasing their amount or Uridium, everything in the game can also be accessed through normal play, even Shields. The main glaring issue with PVP is that premium users get a 50% increase on rocket reloads, granting a significant advantage in combat.
