StarFighter Omega for Windows 8

StarFighter Omega puts you in control of one of the most advanced spaceships humanity ever created in an attempt to save the human race from a terrible fate.

Humanity is constantly looking for ways of improving life on Earth and protect all the inhabitants of the planet at all costs. With the secrets of space travel unlocked, the most brilliant minds on the planet decided to create a self driven entity that will protect its inhabitants from any kind of threat, thus the Specialized Tactical AI Replicator (STAR) has been created.

STAR was tasked to automatically construct NCFs (Network Controlled Fighters) to protect humanity, but when this incredibly smart entity got corrupted, all fighters received the order to wipe out the entire human race. Now it's up to you to prevent that from happening using the best spaceship ever created, the TX-416A “Raptor” Mk. III.

Each mission in StarFighter Omega features multiple waves of enemies that will procedurally increase in numbers and weapon power. As you progress throughout each space sector, you will encounter new types of fighters that will try to take you down at all costs.

Your main goal is to find and defeat the four enemy queens that fuel the production of NCFs while keeping your spaceship intact. To achieve that, with each mission you will earn new ship upgrades that will help you overcome the dangers ahead.

For example, you could upgrade your shield to withstand more damage or power up your blasters and missiles to increase the damage dealt to enemies. Repair packs can also be found during various missions giving you the possibility to instantly fix your ship during more challenging encounters.

Looking from afar StarFighter Omega has the right ingredients to offer you a complete and fun space shooting experience, but as soon as you start playing it the game will show its minuses right away. AI animations and graphic design lack a lot of polish and the game would have been so much better if at least these issues were tweaked at their best.

Although it feels a bit rushed, StarFighter Omega still manages to offer a pleasant experience when played in small doses.
