Haarlem, The Netherlands – 25 March 2011 – Starpoint Gemini (PC), the tactical space RPG from videogames publisher Iceberg Interactive and game developer LGM Games, is available starting today at retail stores across the UK, Scandinavian and Benelux.

Starpoint Gemini is a tactical space RPG set in a science-fiction universe, which focuses on the control and strengths of individual vessels and their captains. Players can travel the rich vastness of the Gemini star system freely, fight skirmishes with rogue ships, trade commodities, research anomalies, buy new vessels, upgrade their ships with state-of-the-art technology, increase their experience and rank to become more powerful and ultimately use all that in large scale engagements against other fleets of hostile ships.
Players re-emerge into the star system of Gemini after having been trapped in the so-called Stasis rift anomaly for over twenty years. Unaware of the passage of time, they find Gemini and everything they knew changed beyond recognition. The events that took place two decades ago closed the Gateway to Gemini, and thereby practically sealed the star system off from the rest of the universe. Isolation and unforeseen technological advancement due to the appearance of countless anomalies have turned Gemini to a place of political intrigue, greed and lust for power. The fate of Gemini has been shaped and the time for reckoning has almost come… Gemini is a dangerous place with riches waiting to be claimed by the most daring and capable of captains.
The German localized version of Starpoint Gemini will follow soon with its release planned for 27 May 2011.
