Released information
Battlestar Galactica Online is a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) developed by Bigpoint and Artplant. This game was released on February 15, 2011. The official website is www.battlestar-galactica.bigpoint.com. The browser based game is in 3D and its graphics were developed using the Unity Game Development Tool.
Despite the initial teaser trailer[1], no actual game play footage has been released in video form, although there are various screen shots from the
gameplay demo.[2]
The publisher, Bigpoint, released this brief description about this game before the release: Players will be able to choose to play as Cylons or humans in a constant struggle to control the universe or just survive its perils. A blend of tactical space combat, exploration, and mission-based gameplay will provide a diverse experience. The dramatic missions will define the game's overall storyline, enabling the player to delve into mysteries of the Battlestar universe. Battlestar Galactica Online will create a new standard for web games, with beautiful 3d graphics and innovative game mechanics bringing a new level of game play to browser based MMOG. Assets from the television production will be integrated into the game to deliver an even more authentic experience.
How The Game Starts
Based on the new Battlestar Galactica tv show, the game begins 40 years after the first Cylon war. The players begin the game as either a Cylon or a Colonial, stranded at the edge of one of the galactic arms. Both Colonial fleets (Battlestar Galactica and Pegasis) are heavily damaged and low on critical resources. The race begins for the Colonials to repair and rearm their ships, escape and continue their quest for Earth before the Cylons gain enough strength to obliterate them once and for all.
