Mother Earth needs YOU, pilot.

Strike Suit Zero, a visually stunning revival of space combat sim genre, with many fresh gameplay ideas, featuring dynamic action, sleek spacecraft design, and mindblowing music, is now available on GOG.com, 20% off. That's only $15.99, this week only!

The story is simple: evil forces armed with an alien relic attack the Earth and destroy almost entire U.N.E. fleet. You, a disgraced pilot named Adams, are the only force standing between the Colonials and annihilation of our homeworld. Sure it's a story you've heard before, but none of those stories offered you a chance to unleash the power of the Strike Suit. You, destroying entire fleets almost single-handedly--it's that kind of story.

Strike Suit Zero balances between simulation and arcade shooter and manages to create a fantastic combat experience. In the first few levels you pilot a "normal" starfighter--a one you'd expect from a space combat sim. However, it's the Strike Suit that allows the game to fully shine, offering a sense of empowerment like no other space sim and allowing you to eradicate your opponents with a flurry of deadly missiles and triumph over enemy forces that outnumber you 10 to 1. It is fairly difficult but not unfair, as mouse + keyboard controls work intuitively, until you grab a recommended joystick, of course :) Both space-sim fans and more "casual" gamers will enjoy the hell out of setting the space skies on fire.

If you're worried about not getting DLCs with the GOG.com version, then stop. All users who purchase the game or a gift code within the first month will get the DLC-pack for free. Yes. More death-dealing space mechs are coming!

Missing that unpaired rush of adrenaline one can only get from dogfighting enemy fighters in the depths of space? Don't hesitate to join the U.N.E. Fleet, get Strike Suit Zero today, for only $15.99! The discount will last until Thursday, January 31, 1:29PM GMT.

Fuzzyfireball: So, would a blue text explain the first month thing? Is GOG going to start putting DLC up for sale all the time or is it just when they can't get a complete version? What are the price ranges of the DLC? I don't care if they do it if it means more games coming here but it would be nice if they explained that a little...
My guess is that they aren't saying anything yet because DLC will perhaps be handled by the devs which makes them careful about statements for now. My theory is that you can get the base game from GOG and buying it now allows you to download the DLC from the developers' page for free (via a voucher or something) and that in future you will only be able to buy the DLC directly from them. That's pretty much how the ARMA2 DLC is handled, the only difference being that GOG never provided some sort of vouchers for its DLC.

But again - that's only my guess.
Does anybody know if the game works with XP? It only shows that it is compatible with Vista,7 and 8.

Strike Suit Zero does NOT work with Windows XP.
Well, against all the reviews, after playing through the first 3 missions, I'm finding it to be one of my best purchases of recent times.

Reminds me so much of Star Wars: Rogue Squadron/Battle for Naboo only MORE BADASS!

Managed to get through the first 3 missions only having died twice while learning how to use Strike mode. I ended up taking torpedoes to the face.

All this talk about mid-level check point saves. I wonder are the levels really huge?

I couldn't imagine playing Wing Commander 1 or 2 with mid-level check point saves...

"When I was a kid we had to walk 30 miles in the snow to switch on the computer, 30 miles through the desert to get back to the computer. Play the level. Die. Then walk back through the snow to switch it off on again, then back through the desert to get back to the computer. You kids got it too easy."

What about Windows 98?

How about no?
From the game's Kickstarter FAQ:

[i]What languages will the game be available in?

The audio will be English only, but we'll have subtitles localised for English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.[/i]

From the GOG gamecard:

[i]languages

English[/i]

Are these subtitles not available yet, or does GOG again refuse to offer other languages than English, while every other DD store on the internet offers the whole package?
Tempting...
As my username implies, I am a HUGE fan of science-fiction games. Although I doubt that my computer will run it, I will buy this game this weekend and maybe a few others as well, depending of the sale.

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but only I think that a game that have dlcs (that probably need to be verified in order to use, and upon how they'll be handled we have no info right now) maybe could be not "that drm-free"?

I'm very interested in the game but, as this point is unclear, i don't feel confortable in buying it.

How does additional downloadable content equal digital rights management (DRM)? The installer for the DLC checks for the presence of the base game, if it finds it, the install runs, if it doesn't, it tells you to install the base game first. That's pretty much how all DLC works already. It's not DRM, it's just common sense.
Sort of wondering on this hoping my conversion of time is completely wrong. When do the sales on this and NWN2 end? Dont exactly understand GMT and all these +/- 's. I am in US Eastern Standard. Asking because its driving me nuts because it looks like I'm going to miss this as I get fund clearance at 8AM est on Feb 1st. So not sure if this sale ends in the very early hours of Jan 31s, or the early hours of Feb 1st.



If its Feb 1, Both of these will be bought. However, if not, Strike Suit is an absolute purchase, Nwn2... ehh will have to wait till later.

I apologize for my ignorance and reinforcing the stereotype of a "stupid American" But any light that can be shed would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
