Attn: Wing Commander fans

Post by erilar »

A new PC game was just launched which is intended as an homage to the Wing Commander series and Homeworld.

For those not familiar with these classic PC titles, we're talking about a tactical space fighter simulation. This is a light sim - not too fiddly and high on the action. Think: you are a Battlestar Viper pilot.

This game genre has been pretty much extinct for the last decade, and this company just melted brains in some of us old Wing Commander fans!

And, it's only $10 on Steam.

I've been watching this game for a while. I really want to play it. Hoping they finish the planned console release so I can!

My guess is that this particular release is their proof of concept, and they will be shopping for a publisher with deeper pockets.
