Mother Earth needs YOU, pilot.

Strike Suit Zero, a visually stunning revival of space combat sim genre, with many fresh gameplay ideas, featuring dynamic action, sleek spacecraft design, and mindblowing music, is now available on GOG.com, 20% off. That's only $15.99, this week only!

The story is simple: evil forces armed with an alien relic attack the Earth and destroy almost entire U.N.E. fleet. You, a disgraced pilot named Adams, are the only force standing between the Colonials and annihilation of our homeworld. Sure it's a story you've heard before, but none of those stories offered you a chance to unleash the power of the Strike Suit. You, destroying entire fleets almost single-handedly--it's that kind of story.

Strike Suit Zero balances between simulation and arcade shooter and manages to create a fantastic combat experience. In the first few levels you pilot a "normal" starfighter--a one you'd expect from a space combat sim. However, it's the Strike Suit that allows the game to fully shine, offering a sense of empowerment like no other space sim and allowing you to eradicate your opponents with a flurry of deadly missiles and triumph over enemy forces that outnumber you 10 to 1. It is fairly difficult but not unfair, as mouse + keyboard controls work intuitively, until you grab a recommended joystick, of course :) Both space-sim fans and more "casual" gamers will enjoy the hell out of setting the space skies on fire.

If you're worried about not getting DLCs with the GOG.com version, then stop. All users who purchase the game or a gift code within the first month will get the DLC-pack for free. Yes. More death-dealing space mechs are coming!

Missing that unpaired rush of adrenaline one can only get from dogfighting enemy fighters in the depths of space? Don't hesitate to join the U.N.E. Fleet, get Strike Suit Zero today, for only $15.99! The discount will last until Thursday, January 31, 1:29PM GMT.

astrugar710: Does anybody know if the game works with XP? It only shows that it is compatible with Vista,7 and 8.
Strike Suit Zero does NOT work with Windows XP.

How about no?

Bavarian: From the game's Kickstarter FAQ:

[i]What languages will the game be available in?

The audio will be English only, but we'll have subtitles localised for English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.[/i]
From the GOG gamecard:

[i]languages

English[/i]
Are these subtitles not available yet, or does GOG again refuse to offer other languages than English, while every other DD store on the internet offers the whole package?
And we have all those languages :D

There was a bit of a mix-up on our side. I apologize about the mix up and you'll find that we changed the gamecard to show the supported languages.

JMich: Hm, time to make the GOGWiki page then.

Can I ask you to prod the other blues for an answer on the subject of the "1st month"? An answer of "bears" will also suffice (for now).
Bears, it's bears all the way down.

Fuzzyfireball: So, would a blue text explain the first month thing? Is GOG going to start putting DLC up for sale all the time or is it just when they can't get a complete version? What are the price ranges of the DLC? I don't care if they do it if it means more games coming here but it would be nice if they explained that a little...
Let me 'splain. No, that will take too long. Let me sum up:

1. GOG.com does not currently offer DLCs. There are technical reasons. But:
2. At some point in the future, we intend to be able to. This is more or less required by the business of modern gaming. We will not be able to sign new games unless we have some way to handle DLCs.
3. Once we have that capability, we will offer everyone who bought Strike Suit Zero (or a gift code) in the first month all of the DLC that are available at that time for the game those DLC for free.
4. Note that we won't have ANY SSZ DLC until we actually have the capacity to sell DLC.

I hope this is clear. Any questions, please let me know.

Azilut: Thanks for the clarification, TET. One quick question: when you say that you will offer all available DLC for free, does that mean all DLC available at that time, with any further DLC requiring a purchase, or will DLC released after that point also be added for free?

(It sounds like a pretty sweet deal either way; I'd just like to be clear on what it means.)

Thanks!
All available DLC *at that time*. I wil edit my post to clarify.

JMich: The question is as follows. If I buy a gift code today, and it is redeemed in 6 months, will the person redeeming the code get the DLCs or not?
Heck. I dunno. I'll ask Biz Dev and then update my post to reflect what's correct.

TheEnigmaticT: Biz Dev

gameon: ?
BizDev = "Business Development" = the people who actually negotiate the contracts. As opposed to

MarCom = "Marketing Communications" = the poor bastards stuck trying to explain things to you. ;)
avatar
JMich: Why do you confuse me again? Confused bears are sad (or dangerous) bears. So, the question (again).
Gift codes are counted from the date of their creation, not the date of redemption.

TheEnigmaticT: I hope this is clear. Any questions, please let me know.

WBGhiro: It does still mean we will always get the most complete editions available for old games, right? I'm ok to put up with it with newer games, but I think the service would really suffer if you offered old expansions as DLC:
That is always our objective for classic games, yes. As you've seen with things like the recent addition of Alien Crossfire to SMAC, our goal is always to give you the most definitive version of any classic game we can. Newer games have newer business models, though, and we need to adapt to continue to be able to offer you guys the best games out there on the market.

gameon: Lol, it's hard to distinguish between whether that is clever up-market call signs (such as what you'd have in top secret military) or chavvy text speak like you'd hear from the likes of Ali G, lol. For example B82REZ = Batteries.
I'd say it's the same kind of linguistic laziness that exists in any industry: acronyms exist so that we can have our own lingo and make people who aren't part of the group confused. Talk to a sailor sometime, if you really want pointless confusion over language. :)

AstralWanderer: Since this is the first GOG release not to work on XP, I'd suggest that it be highlighted on the gamecard.

As an XP user myself (with no intention of "upgrading" to 7 or 8 due to the large amount of software I run that wouldn't work on those OSes plus an intense dislike of their interface changes) I'll be giving this a miss.
I know this may not be much consolation but the supported operating systems are always listed at the top of the page for this very reason i.e. so that anyone browsing the game card can get a quick glance as to what the game will run on.

AstralWanderer: No consolation for me needed (I knew about this limitation from their Kickstarter project) but for others, this is very easy to miss and given that every GOG release up to now has included XP, some may well not even think to check.

An "excluded OS" heading would seem a good way of doing this.
May I ask what you are going to do when Microsoft officially drops all support for Windows XP?

I think it's going to happen sometime next year, if I am not mistaken.
