Salvation Prophecy is the epitome of 'gem in the rough'. I had my eye on it for some time, and was very glad I ended up grabbing it. The game progresses you all the way from a basic army grunt up to a high ranking military leader. Along the way you will participate in increasingly challenging ground combat missions and space combat missions. You will gain rank, spend skill points, buy new equipment upgrade your ship, etc all the while progressing through the thoughtfully written story arc which melds well with the gameplay and ends in a farily dramatic fashion. The combat is fun, the game is challenging and there's even some 4x elements as you get further into the game. The fact that the game was created by 1 guy is absolutely incredible. The only reason I give it a 9 instead of a full 10 is that I'd like to see a bit more content in the game. More weapons, more ships, etc. But that's a fairly small beef. I'd also like to point out that it took me 12ish hours to complete the campaign, and not ONCE did I come across a crash/bug/glitch of any kind. The game is rock solid. All in all, Salvation Prophecy is a full package ground combat, space combat, RPG elements, 4x elements, and an epic story joining it all together. This is what indie gaming is all about. If you're a fan of the space genre at all, you will want to check this one out.
