When I first heard about Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, the main praise I encountered was for its memorable soundtrack. My first impression, however, wasn’t great, the dated UI and slow onboarding turned me off almost immediately.But months later, I came back, and I began to love the game and how it rewards strategic gameplay with your fleets.

Story and Voice Acting

The voice acting is just okay, sounds a bit cheap. Music does have a unique theme and instruments, which I do like, although it's nothing on the level I was expecting (on par with Star Wars). The story is mediocre and contains some cringeworthy moments.

Multiple Battlestar Galactica Deadlock vessels advance through a star-filled battlefield in formation, leaving engine trails as they engage enemy ships.

DLC's and Repetitive Gameplay

As you play the DLCs, the story is nothing too great, and the gameplay starts to get really repttitive with little to no additions added mechanically for the DLCs. The game began unenjoyable, so much so that I did not even bother to finish

Battlestar Galactica Deadlock Conclusion

Battlestar Galactica Deadlock does capture good the tactical gameplay of commanding a fleet in deep space, but it struggles to maintain momentum. Its strategic combat is rewarding once mastered, yet repetitive missions, and uninspired storytelling hold it back.
