Overview
Set in the Sol system in 2205, Strike Wings drops you into a civil war between Earth and Mars that has dragged on for seventeen years. Neither side is willing to commit to a full-scale assault, so the fighting stays on the fringes—over convoys, assets, and refineries.
But beneath the surface, someone may be plotting to ignite the entire system into all-out war. This is the backdrop for a game that wears its inspirations proudly: it's built as an ode to the DOS-era space shooters like Solar Winds and Hell Fighter.
Highlights
- Classic-Inspired Gameplay: A top-down space combat experience that channels the feel of DOS classics, with a modern polish.
- Multiple Command Roles: You can fly a fighter through fleet battles, issue orders to your wingmen, or take command from a destroyer's bridge.
- Dynamic Damage System: Weapons and engines can fail, and damaged ships behave accordingly, adding a layer of tactical depth to every encounter.
Who It's For
If you grew up on the space shooters of the DOS era, or if you simply enjoy top-down twin-stick shooters with a bit of tactical command, Strike Wings is likely to hit the mark. The mix of direct fighter combat and bridge command offers variety, while the damage system keeps you on your toes.
It's a single-player experience with multiplayer and LAN PvP options, so you can also test your skills against friends.
