Strike Suit Zero review: fight or flight

By Arthur Gies on Feb 01, 2013 02.01.13

Born Ready eases players into a world of fighters, frigates, cruisers and space stations Strike Suit Zero's premise is a throwback: A future Earth government and its prodigal colonial offshoot are in the midst of an uneasy peace when powerful alien technology is discovered, triggering a war that has the colonists set to wipe out their former taskmasters. As the last remaining elements of Earth's fleet struggle to decipher the mystery of the colonists' new weapon, the only thing keeping the fleet alive is a strange invention from their chief scientist-turned-cybernetic-AI-experiment: the Strike Suit. Born Ready starts things off traditionally, easing players into the setup of a space combat game predicated on fighters, frigates, cruisers and space stations, all of which plays out as...

Strike Suit Zero patch adding difficulty settings, checkpoint saves and cockpit view

By Samit Sarkar on Mar 05, 2013 03.05.13

Strike Suit Zero developer Born Ready Games released the space combat title's third patch today, adding fan-requested content such as difficulty settings and a cockpit view, the studio announced today. With the first major update since Strike Suit Zero's launch in January, Born Ready is responding to requests and criticism from fans and reviews about the game's difficulty curve. Three difficulty levels will now be available — Easy, Normal and Hardcore — and the studio has also leveled out some of the game's difficulty spikes. And Born Ready also added the ability to save at a checkpoint, exit the game and return to that point. The other new elements in the patch are an in-cockpit camera for every ship in the game, and a tweaked targeting system that allows players to cycle through...

Strike Suit Zero now available on PC, coming to Mac and Linux this year

By Samit Sarkar on Jan 23, 2013 01.23.13

Strike Suit Zero, Born Ready Games' space combat title featuring transforming mechanical suits, is now available on Windows PC, and it will launch on Mac and Linux later this year, the studio announced today. Born Ready raised nearly $175,000 in a Kickstarter campaign last fall, but fell just short of a stretch goal that would have unlocked Mac and Linux versions of the game. However, the studio is pushing forward with development on those platforms anyway. The company previously confirmed support for the Oculus Rift headset. "We've received overwhelming support from our community, and would like to extend special thanks to our backers on Kickstarter," said Born Ready CEO James Brooksby. "We hope everyone is as ecstatic to see the finished result as we are!" Strike Suit Zero is being...

Strike Suit Zero coming to PC on Jan. 24, mod tools will be released to public

By Alexa Ray Corriea on Nov 19, 2012 11.19.12

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. The campaign fell only a little more than $5,000 short of its second stretch goal — Strike Suit Zero ports for Mac and Linux systems. Born Ready Games is offering exclusive access to the closed beta in December to the first 1000 campaign backers who pledged $50 or more. "We are truly grateful for all the support we've received and above all else want to thank the community," said Born...

Indie developer Born Ready Games, which recently met the Kickstarter funding goal for its space combat game Strike Suit Zero: Space Combat Reborn, will support the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, the developer said in an update on its Kickstarter page.

By Alexa Ray Corriea on Oct 19, 2012 10.19.12

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. The Strike Suits were designed by Junji Okubo, whose creative pedigree includes Capcom's 2002 Xbox game Steel Battalion and real-time strategy role-playing title Infinite Space. 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...
