SYNOPSIS
Space Aggressor is a strategy game that combines the shooter genre with the idea of a Dungeon Keeper: YOU are the general in charge of all the spaceships attacking a mighty hero-pilot in space. That's right. Just blow this shiny bastard away, destroy his all-too powerful ship and save the universe of another conceited and arrogant lone warrior.
GAMEPLAY
You are in charge of a small base, being able to produce spaceships with mighty weapons. If you act wisely and make economical desicions you will soon upgrade your small Fighters to impressive and deadly Reapers, Raiders, Bolts etc. Research more powerful weaponry and protect your ships with better shields.
You should always have an eye on your credits and resources, never stop to employ your workers for gaining additional money and material. If you combine the different ships strategically by choosing the best formation and time to attack, you will soon get rid of another not too glorious hero...
COMMENT
Space Aggressor can be played either alone or hotseat with another player. In this mode, one player will play with the mouse and take over the strategical part of the game, the other will play the hero and try to destroy all of the incoming ships. 1000000 miles has the hero to travel and if he succeeds, a bomb will destroy the base.
By selecting which part of the hero ship is being attacked, the strategical player can twist fate really fast by 180 degrees. A damaged engine will decrease the travelling speed of the hero, whereas a damaged primery weapon will decrease the firing rate of the ship.
GAMEPLAY TIPS
Tip 1: When you right click on an add/subtract-button of your workers, you add/subtract 50 workers at once instead of only 10. This makes distribution much faster.
Tip2: Upgrade your Base at least until you have two Production Slots - So you always can produce a ship and upgrade a feature at the same time.
Tip3: The small disks beside the Tech-button are Quicksave/Quickload buttons. You can use these to get back to an earlier situation during the game.
Tip4: If you don't like the music, or are just bored by it, you can either change the track on the right upper corner or stop the background music in general.
Tip5: Always have an eye on your credits. Use the biggest amount of workers for the Sales, so you will gain money faster. You will need it!
Tip6: When playing the hero, run for every upgrade you can get. Shoot the steroids, they sometimes have upgrades, too. Keep an eye on your shield. If your shield is down, you are an easy prey. Engine and shield regenerate themselves over time. You will travel faster if you collect the upgrade with the fast-forward sign on it. The sooner you get to the base, the better...
Tip7: When the hero launches his evil superrocket, you'll just have to hit him once with any weapon and the process will be cancelled.
System Requirements:
Should be working with Windows XP, 1,5 GHz CPU and 512 RAM. Actually I did not test it on a slower computer. When you have problems, stop the music, that could do the trick. If not, you'll have to buy a new computer :-P
