Strike Suit Infinity Reviews

it's like flying the old roboteck planes lol if you know you know

nice game,W developers for programming that good this masterpiece

if you want the pure gameplay of strike suit (which is very good, to be fair) then this is the game you want. it also goes on sale for like a dollar regularly, and i think it's a killer deal at that price. not that it isn't a deal at the regular price.

An arcade space ship shooter with a small mech-type component to it. Depending on which of the three platforms you choose from it can range in its level of difficulty. The controls are tight enough with the keyboard and mouse, but the gameplay can get repetitive as you continually progress through the levels with the latter levels really supplying bullet-sponge enemies at times. The main objective, beyond beating each of the levels is to score the highest score in each level to earn increasing letter grades. Enemies come at you in waves, with the waves getting slightly more difficult with each new wave that comes through. Capital ships usually show up in the end waves, but as you progress through the levels they become more common earlier on. Destroying the capital ships nets you credits, so it can be helpful to destroy them as quickly as possible. The capital ships are filled with turrets and weak points that can be targeted for destruction. Depending on which of the three ships you pick it can range from easy to difficult to destroy the turrets in a timely fashion. Weak points can also be a bit odd in their hit boxes at times, which can cause a bit of frustration as you work against the clock. There are bonus rounds, but the capital ships appearing during these sections are rare, but can net you some additional credits. Using the credits you can purchase reinforcements to help you out on a level by level basis. If they survive the level you get your credits back so you can hire the same ships again the next level. While they can be useful in the earlier levels, they begin to lose their effectiveness once you get to the "Elite" enemies. You can always upgrade their effectiveness, but even at the highest levels they're still mostly just cannon fodder, that can be used to distract from you being the sole target. Each ship can transform into it's "mech" version as you fill the "Flux" bar. Each shot of your weapons (gun or missles) will drain this bar slightly, once it's empty you auto-switch back to your standard space ship mode. There's two perspectives you can fly in as well, cockpit view or a 3rd person camera directly behind the ship. So you can enjoy it either mode, without any real changes to the gameplay. I enjoyed the game, as you can tell by the 100% achievement mark I've gotten in it. The arcade-y ness of it can help you get a bit of extra enjoyment from it if you like trying for additional points to beat your previous runs. For me, once I beat the game, I've only really come back to it a few times but I remember those times being fun regardless. For around $7 (US) it's a decent enough game if you like space ship shooters.
