Tiki Games announces Novastrike, details revealed |
Ó
Ever since Tiki Games' Novastrike was rated by the ESRB, we've been rather curious about what this game is all about. Well, the indie developer behind this title has announced that the game should be available on the PlayStation Network early this year. In addition, quite a number of details about it were revealed as well.Novastrike was described in the press release as a classic top-down shooter which has players fighting against a world-conquering race known as a Draelus. Like most games in this genre, your pilot will be piloting an "experimental fighter" known as the Scythe.
This upcoming title has quite a number of features that caught our attention such as free-roaming flight as well as some downloadable content. Those who want to find out more about the game, should check out the game's features as detailed in the list below.
- Seven expansive challenging stages driven by objective-based goals
- Free-roaming flight: there aren't any rails here, so players can fly in any direction
- Progressive weapon acquisition and upgrade system: as the player collects weapon drops from enemy ships the weapons themselves become available to the Scythe - there are nine base weapon systems, each with three subsequent upgrade levels
- Air and ground targets: two separate weapon systems allow the player to combat both air and ground opponents
- Multi-sectioned enemies where individual components can be destroyed; for example, carriers have hangars that launch fighters - these hangars can be destroyed independently of destroying the Carrier, preventing the Carrier from launching additional fighters
- Multitude of enemies and environments: players combat enemy fighters, bombers, kamikazes, aces, carriers, and destroyers, all leading to an end-boss fight
- You're not alone: friendly fighters, bombers, and destroyers will aid you in your efforts to vanquish the Draelus invasion
- DualShock 3 support
- Continuing support: Tiki Games will be developing additional content for Novastrike throughout 2008
