Starstrike
is a game of futuristic war. The human race has come up against
a powerful race of aliens who can gestate into a variety of
different lifeforms at will. These shapeshifting aliens are
a tremendous foe - one for one any of the various alien types
can tromp all over an inexperienced Marine. Be careful when
facing the aliens.
Starstrike
is a Real Time Strategy Game (like Command & Conquer or
Warcraft). Matches are played on interior maps, on the decks
of a ship adrift in space, its crew killed by the alien infestation.
On most maps and gametypes a squad of Marines faces off against
a brood of Aliens somewhere on the dead ship, but support
for Marine-vs-Marine and Alien-vs-Alien maps and gametypes
exists. Each side constructs a base position or Hive cluster
on the decks of the ship and expands to different locations
of the map, building forward positions and researching technologies
or evolving traits and abilities to become stronger and stronger,
and eventually step into each other's territory, where conflict
ensues. The objective of the game is to capture as much territory
as possible and wipe out the enemy.
Each side
collects resources from resource nodes scattered throughout
the map by building structures on and around them, and use
these resources to construct other base structures, perform
research, evolve traits and abilities or gestate into stronger
lifeforms. The Marines use their resources also to equip their
soldiers with bigger and better weapons and armour, while
the Aliens use their resources to mutate into different life
forms depending on their particular requirements. More resources
mean faster development and a more powerful side, resulting
in a power struggle for domination of the scattered resource
points. Each resource point is likely to change hands several
times during the course of the battle.
Eventually
the battle will intensify and one side will completely eradicate
the other, emerging victorious... unless there is more than
one enemy force present on the ship...
Our lead
developer Agent is working on the backstory for the game as
well as a work of fiction set in the world of Starstrike.
Stay tuned for developments!
