Synopsis

Strike Suit Zero is a space flight combat game developed by Born Ready. Strike Suit Zero seeks to revive the space combat genre by introducing "strike mode" as a new element to the dogfight-based gameplay of classic space combat games. Strike Suit Zero takes its inspiration from numerous different franchises, most notably Elite and related franchises: Homeworld, Freelancer, Colony Wars, Star Wars, Gundam, Macross and FreeSpace. The game is built on a proprietary engine. It was released for Microsoft Windows on January 23, 2013, and for OS X and Linux on August 9, 2013. Strike Suit Zero is a story-driven single player game where the player assumes the role of a fighter pilot of a transforming mecha for the United Nations of Earth (U.N.E) in a massive war against the combined forces of the space colonies. The game is designed so that the battles do not revolve entirely around the player; a complete battle simulation between allied and enemy forces will be going on in the background while the player performs specific objectives, giving the impression that the player's role is only one small part of a much larger conflict. The soundtrack is developed by Paul Ruskay, composer of the original Homeworld soundtrack. Ship designs were done by Junji Okubo, known for designing mecha and ships for the game Infinite Space. Strike Suit Zero reached its funding goal of $100,000 on Kickstarter on November 2, 2012. A spin-off game titled Strike Suit Infinity was released in April 2013. A new version of the game called Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut was released in April 2014 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows. It features graphical overhaul, restructured campaign and additional content. An Android port was released in November 2014. It was released on Nintendo Switch on May 2, 2019.
