The game is a rough diamond that fell into oblivion due to conflict with the publisher and a lot of bugs and shortcomings at launch. The game is based on the original and innovative Mercury engine for the early 2000s, which allowed for the destruction of the environment to a certain extent. Open maps allowing for a variety of approaches to missions.
The game was ahead of its time in some aspects, but poor AI (both allies and enemies), optimization problems, crashes and shortcomings effectively buried it in the depths of history along with the studio that created it, Brat Designs. Presenting the game at launch as a killer of the original Halo also did not help this game.
I personally played the demo on my first computer in 2003 and was dazzled by the open map and explored it far and wide, spending many hours doing so. I even managed to find a hidden tank as an easter egg of the demo. The game can be found on the internet as abandonware but can cause problems when trying to run it. Not only because of its original state but also because of its age and the fact that it was created for completely different operating systems. A later version of the game from Xplosiv (original publisher was CDV Software) fixed (I think) some of the bugs but it was too little too late to save the game. It saddens me that the game ended with the message "To be continued." The original creators, Ed Scio and Jason Gee, will probably take to their graves the information about how the story of "Breed" was supposed to continue.
I have many great memories with this game. Even as an adult I created my own mouse pad design based on the art from this game, which I modified and assembled in a graphics program. Then in 1000x500 format and ordered it for my desk. I would put a picture of it here if I could. A game forgotten by many but still smolders somewhere in the hearts of a few.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
