Tachyon Free download

EditByBrothersoft: Tachyon: The Fringe is fundamentally similar to other space-combat simulations, and as such it isn't well suited to anyone who won't accept it for capitalizing on the popular imagery of deep-space dogfights. However, fans of space sims will find that there's actually a lot to like about the game. It's not a sweeping space opera or a hard-core simulation of what it might be like to be an outer-space pilot - instead, Tachyon is a fast-paced, colorful, action-packed space combat game with a branching campaign and an enjoyable story, as well as a solid multiplayer mode.

Tachyon's a good-looking game, but it's guilty of looking like most every other space-combat sim to date. As such, you might have trouble picking it out of a LineUp: The game's ship designs are fairly typical of what you'd expect, despite the fact that the game's two prominent space-faring factions have distinctively different styles of spacecraft. Tachyon's weapon effects are also fairly bland, although some of the game's special effects, such as the reflective cockpits, the gloriously bright ship explosions, and the inky, colorful nebulae look quite good. In addition, Tachyon uses detailed 3D models and clean texture maps for the fighter ships, whereas larger objects, such as space stations are positively gigantic, though they don't look very special aside from their scale. Otherwise, Tachyon succeeds in making outer space inviting rather than empty, as you'll fly not only through colored nebulae but also through scenic space junkyards, police-trafficked commercial hubs, planetside stations, and more. However, Tachyon's interface and first-person heads-up display look Unpolished by comparison, and the motion-blurred streaks and stars don't Create a very convincing sensation of high speed, so in the end, the game looks somewhat inconsistent.
