Strike Squad
Strike Squad is a squad-based tactical strategy game, much like the later
X-Com from Microprose. Strike Squad is the sequel to Mindcraft’s Tegel’s
Mercenaries.
The Consortum is falling prey to an alien race of insects, called K’Kistiks,
that move from planet to planet and dry their resources. One last planet,
Berok, remains for the Consortum resistence, and its distress beacons have
been dispatched to call for aid, in the attempt to gather mercenaries from
around the universe toward their cause. Your character in the game, in turn,
is a successful mercenary commander, that is after personnal revenge against
the K’Kistiks, for having destroyed your home planet Bao and killed your loved
ones.
Choose your mercenaries, that rate very differently in a variety of skills
(from shooting to medical), and battle your enemies in either real-time or
turn-based.
The game features some management elements also, and you get to purchase
weapons and tools from dealers.
Also, the game features a 2-player, split-screen mode, and the players can
either play as allies or enemies.
