thanks for the code Soulchilde.  sadly, the store page gets an error now:
We were unable to find the requested file or resource.

guess they took the link down. 

so, how is it so far?

looking forward to impressions on this one.  looks fun but I also read it gets kinda frustrating due to the checkpoint save system:

7.5 from IGN

'A stunning but frustrating space shooter"

It's fun and brutal due to the checkpoints.   I started out utilizing the 360 controller and soon switched to the mouse/kb and I am finding the fighting and flying much better

Ben Kuchera's take

"Strike Suit Zero is just about everything you want in a space combat game. ... The issue is that the missions are both long and unforgiving ... Don’t let that scare you away, this game is going to be close to perfect once the checkpoint since is fixed, and genre fans are going to fall in love very quickly."

Looks like it's flawed but fun, with a chance for the flaws to get patched out.  Given how dead the genre is, I'm not going to be overly picky when a developer decides to take a chance.

@WolfSamurai yeah, there was an issue with the autoamted system. We'll have this sorted today and let you know when the store's back up.

I think Kato redeemed his code as Steam had him as a user, so I know it worked.  Hopefully, they get it sorted out soon.

I'm having a great time with this, but contrary to Soulchild I am having more success and enjoyment with the Xbox controller rather the mouse and keyboard. Nice soundtrack btw

I've been playing a copy I'll be reviewing soon, and I've been using the controller... Is it just me, or is the mapping odd? I had to remap the analog sticks to fly the ship with any reasonable ability, and I can barely fly the strike suit at all, no matter how I map the analog sticks. Do I just suck, am I doing something wrong or are the controls weird?

The Strike Suit is too loose...  Your forced to use the auto-target to keep tracking..   If you looked at most of the Dev's videos they use a flight stick and throttle, so I am thinking that's the optimized way to play


Still having fun with this I give this 7 out of 10.  The music which I normally turn off has been surprising good

I got through with the code you gave me Soulchilde. 

thank you.

Yeah, I'm starting to get the hang of it. I'm really digging it, but it can be frustratingly difficult in some parts. Reminds me of Colony Wars mixed with giant robot anime. Which is always a good thing.

Great review and I agree.  Although, the checkpoints in this game are a massive let down in my book.   Oh, I would have taken some points off for the "Chase the Torpedo" mission that ALWAYS appear in these game.  I hate those mission
