Remember when space combat games were actually a fixture of the medium? X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Wing Commander, Freelancer and of course the popular Rogue Squadron series on Nintendo systems made up a beloved genre, and then it just… stopped. There have been a few token games here and there, but for all intents and purposes we have had a decade-long drought of space fighters and space sims. That looks to be changing with the upcoming Star Citizen, but that’s a pretty long way off. What you can and should play right now is Strike Suit Zero.

You play as a disgraced fighter pilot named Adams, who is re-earning his wings as aggressive Colonial forces decimate Earth’s fleet. Adams is thrown into the conflict as one of the few remaining capable pilots, and ultimately the pilot of the experimental titular Strike Suit. The plot is serviceable at best. It makes scant effort to make you care about the story, but the story isn’t why you would play Strike Suit Zero anyway, and generally the cutscenes and dialog are short enough to not get in the way.
