Description:
Do you like space combat shooters? Love Battlestar Galatica? Then this game is for you!
Relive the tense space battles of one of the best sci-fi action series of all time.
Beyond the Red Line is a FREE, stand-alone (based on the Freespace Open Engine) total conversion for the game FreeSpace 2, based on the re-imagined TV show Battlestar Galactica. It allows players to fly into combat as either a Colonial Viper pilot or a Cylon raider.
In February 2008 Beyond the Red Line received Mod DB’s “Mod of the Year Award” for “Best Independent Game”. That same year the game was also recommended over the official Battlestar video game (released: 2007 for XBox Live Arcade and Windows PC), citing the latter game’s low production values and publisher’s mishandling of the license. In 2008 the game was featured in Popular Science magazine. In December 2007 the game was featured in Computer and Video Games’ “The Best PC Mods. Ever!” review.
