Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos, while not commercially successful (such is the fate of many fine games of this near-forgotten genre), remains one of the greatest space sims of all time.
Known also as I-War 2, Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos is a space combat simulator and the sequel to the original [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/independence_war_deluxe]Independence War. One of the key features of this game, much like with its predecessor, is a complex flight model which takes your ship's inertia into account when changing course or speed. The biggest difference, apart from a more modern and clear user interface, is the addition of free-roaming piracy. The game's story, complex and gripping as usual, is set 100 years after the events of I-War. This time, however, you're not a model Navy captain, but a pirate out for revenge, somewhere on the fringes of colonized space.
omgomgomg. Man i remember this awesome game. I broke a joystick playing it far too much. Great addition to gog. Thank you very much.
Aww! Blimey! You beat me to the first post. :)
I remember a fair bit of praise on this one in some of the gaming magazines at the time. Never tried it myself though.
I had no idea they made a version 2 of this title. I tried the first one, but I do not use joysticks any longer, so this would be a title I have to pass up.
I can't believe you guys managed to get this done so freakin' quick. Did you already have deals going for I-War 2 when I-War was released? As I said in my tweets, I'm not used to companies fulfilling one of my wishes so quickly!
Much like I-War, you guys could have gotten away with $9.99 on that one too. ;)
Great game and a great price. You can get away with using the mouse if you edit the config file but it still takes some getting used to, a game for the more patient space pirates out there.
Nice! This is still a great Space sim. And for only 6 bucks!
Well that solves the question of what I'm going to do tonight! Been hoping this would pop up.
Thanks guys!
Insta-buy for me at that price, even after the feeding frenzy that was Steam's summer sale (not that I went nuts, but it's not like I'm hurting for new games, either). Fantastic game. Thanks, GOG!
You know, Steam's sale didn't even tempt me. I'll admit that it might have done if I'd actually paid attention to it -- I've certainly bought games from their sales in the past -- but I've noticed that the more time that passes, the less accepting I'm becoming of most DRM schemes when I have so many unencumbered alternatives I could play instead.
I was already at the point where a game depending upon Steam meant I wasn't even going to consider it unless the price dropped to about $5, but it would seem that the system is now sufficiently off-putting to me that I'm more likely to ignore them entirely, even when they have a sale.
I-War and I-War 2 are both sentimental favourites of mine, so GOG's status just continues to climb in my eyes with the both of them here.
I did always wish I-War 2 had been a little more like the original in some respects -- not all of the changes were for the better -- but it's still one hell of a game, still beautiful to look at after all these years, and amazing value at the price. You guys are in for a treat!

Bought, partly because I haven't bought a game from here in 4 months and I feel bad. Also because the game looks pretty cool and I've been on a spacegame kick lately
Thanks for this GOG. Still enjoying the 1st one, but will defo purchase this tonight!
I really wish I still had a joystick. And that shops still sold PC joysticks.
Got the first one already, definitely picking up #2 when I'm done with it. Thanks GoG!
