Much as Black Lab have improved on their strategic Battlestar Galactica Deadlock with patches and expansions, until today’s DLC – Anabasis – it lacked the TV show’s sense of looming dread. While the new addon also expands the game’s main strategic campaign, its most exciting feature is a new survival mode inspired by the TV series. An isolated fleet retreats back to Caprica from deep space, pursued constantly by Cylon forces across a random series of losing encounters. Below, a launch trailer fresh enough to make me forget for a moment that the show is 14 years old.
