- Star Wraith IV Breathes New Life Into Space Combat Simulations
StarWraith 3D Games LLC announces the release of Star Wraith IV: Reviction, the sequel to the award winning 3D space combat simulation Star Wraith: Shadows of Orion. In this new space-sim, you command an elite starfighter squadron where flight skill and leadership through vast regions of space will determine the survival of Earth itself, concluding in a final massive battle with two possible endings.
Star Wraith IV: Reviction includes a diverse new single player campaign of over 25 missions, random instant action, mission importing, and built-in mission designing. Multiplayer features dogfight, team-vs-team, capture-the-sphere, and three cooperative combat modes which allows up to 8 players to join together and play over the internet or a LAN. Complete rotation and strafe thruster controls enhance the realistic flight model and give you a myriad of unique combat maneuvers to master the game. Environments include planets, asteroid fields, planetary terrain, nebula clouds, and more which are all interactive, not merely backdrops. You can use these environments to your advantage, such as hiding behind asteroids, escaping through caves, and descending into planetary atmospheres. Your skill and combat knowledge equate to survival in this 3D starfighter simulation that takes the Star Wraith space combat concept to a dramatic new level.
In the single player campaign, you take on the role of a squadron commander in the Special Operations Command division during the middle of a mysterious conflict with several surprising twists. You can assign various fighters to each pilot in your squadron while customizing your own fighter and weapon profile. Mission objectives include escort, patrol, rescue, mining, capital ship strikes, and more. The game includes numerous control options and space flight elements to provide enjoyable gameplay for players of all ages and skill levels. From flight training to multiplayer combat and player-designed scenarios to epic campaign battles, Star Wraith IV: Reviction offers a myriad of gameplay features for a wide variety of preferences and abilities.
