Strike Suit Zero, the '90s-style space combat shooter that took to Kickstarter last month for funding, will release for PC on Jan. 24, developer Born Ready Games announced today. The game closed out its campaign this weekend with $174,804, nearly $75,000 over its initial funding goal. Backers brought the project to its first stretch goal, the general public release of the game's XedMod modding tools.

Strike Suit Zero, a '90s-style space combat shooter with an international team of industry veterans, has earned nearly a quarter of its $100,000 Kickstarter goal in its first day live. Strike Suit Zero, in development by U.K.-based Born Ready Games, puts players in control of massive Gundam-like battle mechs called Strike Suits that can transform into fighter starships.

Two backers who pledge $10,000 or more will have the opportunity to collaborate with Okubo on crafting new Suits for their exclusive in-game use. Strike Suit Zero will also feature a soundtrack by composer Paul Ruskay, who scored Relic...
