Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, a tactical fleet simulator, is free on GOG as part of the Summer Sale until July 6.
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is a tactical fleet simulator—a sci‑fi strategy game with real‑time combat in deep space. It’s well regarded (PC Gamer gave it an 83% in April 2005, per Metacritic) and is free on GOG until July 6 as part of the store’s Summer Sale. The story begins 60 years after the Noah’s Ark catastrophe: humankind’s first colony ship has fallen, megacorps hold an uneasy peace across the solar system, and a startling discovery throws that balance into chaos, casting you as young captain Marcus Cromwell. The game strings varied mission types through an involved narrative that moves forward even when battles are lost. GOG’s release includes a fully documented mod kit with a model viewer, sample models, and modding guidelines, and carries a 4.4/5 user rating. It still holds up visually for a 20+ year‑old title.
