Dreamcast had a lot of space flight sims and all of them looked the same. Armada takes a different aproach to space sim genre because this is not a like the rest of games. This game has a mix of RPG elements with a space shooter. You have five races to choose from which have different story line and are all connected to each other in some way.
Control
The ship is cotrolled in third person view using the analog stick and the d-pad is used to descent to and from planets. Buttons are used for primary weapon(unlimited shots),shields(limited use), and special weapon(limited use).
Gameplay
You start the game on your world which is being attacked by hostile,so you have to defeat them to win the game. You can talk to people(in other ships) on your planet and sometimes they give you hints and next mission info.
Once you leave your planet, you are swarmed by aliens, but are easy to defeat. For each alien you kill, you get credits to buy stuff, power ups, and experience points. Like most RPG games, the more enemies you kill the stronger your character gets. Your ship levels up automatically, and is upgraded on your home planet automatically. There are bunch of space stations where you can buy/sell stuff,like weapons, to upgrade your ship. Also you can trade items with other stations to earn money,but is not worth it. Some missions require to kill large(boss) enemies which are easy when you at higher level. Also there are side missions where you have escort the various ships through space to their destination and defen them against enemies.
My Opinion
Pros:
-Good Controls
-Nice Space Animation
-RPG Element
-Story
-Side missions
-Different Races
Cons:
-Constant dark space backround gets boring
-Not enough enemy variety
-Side missions get repetetive
-Not enough weapon variety
-Only one ship to choose from
For $10 on ebay, it's not a bad game.
