The Enemies Found In Battlestar Galactica

By Cathy E. Dach


The science fiction characters and plots of Battlestar Galactica have been quite popular for many years and have spanned television, video games, and novels. The first television series that made the characters and main plot lines so popular amongst hardcore sci-fi fans was released in the 1970's. The popularity of the series has grown exponentially since that time and now people all over the world are able to enjoy the latest television shows and games based on it. There is clearly a massive group of fans behind this science fiction franchise because it is one of few that has been able to successfully move into the gaming world and maintain a strong audience. What are some of the methods in which the game makers have been able to port characters and creatures into the games?

The essential storyline of Battlestar Galactica follows human colonists who have been forced to leave their planet because of a war with the robotic and evil Cylons. The TV series followed these two groups and they also comprise the two main factions in the video game in the same franchise. At the time you make your character you will be granted the option to play as a Human colonist or as a Cylon warrior. This decision is an important one because it will permanently affect the way you control your character, the types of weapons and vehicles you will be able to use, and the specific skills that your character will be able to develop.

The majority of your battles will be against your Battlestar Galactica warring faction depending on whether you chose to make a Human or Cylon character. At times you will find other enemies that are common threats to both factions. Battles will sometimes be waged in space using high speed vehicles while others take place on land using hand to hand combat techniques and weapons.

Because the BG game programmers have chosen to make their game in an online multiplayer style, there are also many social elements to the game. You will discover many enemies in the game that you cannot defeat on your own so be sure to team with other players and form alliances with them in order to strengthen your character.

Battlestar Galactica video games give fans of this serial franchise a new manner of enjoying the series. You can get into the war as either Human or Cyclon in an exciting and social online game based around BG.
