Peter locks on to his target in this review of space combat game, Strike Suit Zero.

The game was fun until the suit mode came up. Terrible mode, they completely failed to make the suit O.P as it should be. The game is even more difficult with the suit. Epic fail: 5.0
7.5, 7.5 everywhere! (Seriously, GameSpot is rating a lot of games with the score 7.5 when 2013 started)

This game made me think of the famous anime "Gundam Wing" - but there was a team of mechs working together in that story. And the plotline and character development justified the combat in the anime.
I might pick this up at a steep discount, but without a plot or meaningful characters...it holds little interest for me.

Don't like the reviewer throwing names like Wing Commander or X-Wing randomly around like that one bit. This is an arcade shooter, not a real space sim, that's all.
Why are they peddling this console-slop to PC players is even more puzzling.
Wake me up when X Rebirth, Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous come around.

@isahunt Because PC players kickstarted this. Don't blame the devs for "peddling this console-slop" when it was PC players who asked for it in the first place. You may not be interested in it. I understand, because I'm not either. But it's presumptuous for you to present your statement as though you know what all PC players want. If you wonder why some people call PC gamers elitists... it's due to people like you -_-
Looks like grade A 'meh' to me. I think I'll stick to Omega Boost and the Star Wars fighter games.
We can hear the sound of lasers firing, the ships moving, things exploding and so on, when there's no medium for the propagation of sound waves in space.
Even when watching Star Wars I kept thinking about this. It's uncomfortable.
Strike Suit Zero looks great though.
@fend_oblivion Realism has a place in games? Entertainers and Realists are always in conflict. Guns don't hardly make any noise in a desert (sand absorbs sound) - yet you'll never see a quiet desert gunshot in a movie. I usually seek out movies, music, games (entertainment) when I want to avoid reality. Life already has plenty of realism. There is nothing wrong with a relaxing hour of fantasy occasionally.
The game is good, haven't played a decent space shooter/sim since Freelancer, and looks good too, but if it would have had the option to do barrel rolls, it would've been a great game. I tryed it with a gamepad but there are some stupid bugs trying to configure the controls. Still mouse+keyboard is the best option for this kind of game.

I do seem a little confused-- why a walking mech as a spaceship? Do you ever walk on anything?
@willzihang The idea is that the "vehicle" would be more agile if it was shaped like a mech instead of a jet. For those times when it needs to ditch forward speed for moving side to side quickly or whatever.
I think it's a bit silly myself, and have since back playing older Robotech games with the same concept.
@willzihang I don't get it either. Also, I know it's space and all, but it seems like there are no other environments at all! Not even asteroid belt or nebula or anything really.
@AgentMothman95 @willzihang It actually puts me off the game to be honest-- to me it just seems incredibly childish to just shove in a 'cool' mech in a space game, seemingly just for the sake of it.
@CloudXentar @willzihang @AgentMothman95 maybe they plan to make it walk on bigger ships or platforms, could suggest that
The game is fun for few hours, but honestly the uninteresting characters and story that goes through cams becomes rather dull. I expected this to be somewhat like Freelancer but it's not. And yeah, it's just one ''mech''. Back to Zone of Enders and Macross I guess...
They need to patch in a checkpoint system that auto saves every 5 or 10 minutes, problem solved.

Great, now I'm really dying to see Zone of Enders 3. Thanks a lot for reminding me of the torturous wait Hideo Kojima is putting us through... :-/

Think I'll buy this, it's stupidly cheap on Steam now.
But no this isn't a Space sim, it's more of a space arcade shooter in the same veins as Gradius.
Now, Star Citizen is the upcoming Space Sim to wait for, glad I put my money in it, there's also Elite Dangerous, both games are looking to employ Newtonian physics.

No barrel roll? Then how can I do a barrel roll? .. I know! By doing a barrel roll! By god, that's just crazy enough to work!
There is Yaw, Pitch and Roll in the game and its easy to bind them to the axis of your choice. This game will not have you reaching for your Pedals and HOTAS, - but it does feel pretty good with a gamepad.
@JustPlainLucas You say that, but unless I missed it or the player of this footage isn't that accomplished with flight games, I didn't see the ships perform anything that would suggest roll is even a function of the controls.

Wing Commander? XWing? This game is more on the line of Star Fox or Galaxy Force 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lHbHT6kWrc)
@rogerpenna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpQk26HS9jM Burning Force for the Sega Genesis. I own the old cart (though no longer the hardware). Pretty damn good.
@rogerpenna I have Galaxy Force as part of the Sega Genesis Classics Collection for PC (Gamersgate, DRM-free). Pretty good given its age.
I've got this game wishlisted on GOG. Despite my not being a big space-sim fan, it still looks like a getter.
@nate1222 This isn't space-sim, it's more like space arcade shooter so if you like shooters in general you'll most likely like this. Saying this is space sim is like saying CoD is a war-simulator :D There isn't exactly anything simulated here, just go into space and shoot enemies and try to get highest points.
@Stebsis @nate1222 Oh god, I forgot about the points. I hate that if your allies destroy 100% of all enemies in a level, suffer no casualties, and you don't personally do anything, you'll get a bad ending, and if you personally pull the trigger on the shots that kill the enemies that suddenly the Earth forces suddenly do a lot better. The game misses out on that nice feature of games like Wing Commander. It was nice in WC to get to the top of the killboard, but it was more important to ensure that your mission objectives were successfully accomplished. If you got dozens of kills but failed to protect key assets from enemy aces, you'd lose the game, even if you completed every mission. There was a sense of strategy to those games.
