Do you know those games where you play as a genius rookie, a trainee, a hero or a commander in space and everyone likes you? This is not that game. And I think that’s good.
Starforce Delta is currently a Friendster exclusive browser game that throws you in the space boots of a mercenary who has been hired to help finish a series of missions for a military space group. They really don’t want you, but they need you. The story takes on an interesting start. As you protect beacons, blow up enemy ships or get blasted in the middle of the fray, you may start to wonder if these people will ever come to like or accept your character. You’re risking your in-game life for them after all, but that is a story you have to play for to find out.
Gameplay: Pew! Pew! Pew!
One thing I usually look for in shooting games is the trigger-happy feature. This means I don’t like keeping an eye on bullets because shooting lasers shouldn’t require bullets, right? Thankfully, this game satisfies me in that department and I enjoyed firing at different enemy ships that come my way.
Starforce Delta lets you choose among three different ships. You have the thick-armored, burst damage Buffalo, the fragile drone-deploying Mosquito, and the balanced beginner ship Hawk. You can test pilot each ship before you decide so choose wisely, as it will take a while before you can change it. I like how the game asks me what kind of ship I would prefer. I chose the Buffalo because it has thick armor and burst damage, which is quite suitable for how I intended to play the game — trigger happy charge-charge-charge. Different players have different preferences and I think this is an important thing to consider. As a player, being stuck with a ship I don’t like would most probably cause me to drop the game.
The game also allows you to upgrade your ship and improve it with equipment. You have slots for autocannon, longrange, shortrange, supportive, shield, and armor. These aren’t readily available in the beginning so you would have to pay attention on upgrading your ship as you continue playing. I like how the equipment actually matter to the ship in Starforce Delta. In most cases when I play space shooting games, I get armor and weapon changes and upgrades, but I still manage to play the game and win without having to pay much attention to it. In Starforce Delta, not caring about your equipment will end up having you blown up into smithereens at one point unless you’re seriously skilled.
