Lunar Strike is a space shooter built on OpenGL
I'm a huge fan of side scrolling space shooter games. I find the arcade action of these games highly addictive. Lunar Strike is a space shooter built on OpenGL which has resulted in crisp smooth gameplay and amazing graphics.
And the graphics are, without a doubt, this games strong point but as everyone would agree, graphics aren't everything. For a game to hold your attention gameplay needs to be a feature. Sadly Lunar Strike falls a couple steps short in this department.
The gameplay isn't bad but it's not what you'd expect from a space shooter. Now I'm not one to punish creativity but sometimes improving on something is better than changing it. The game feels more like a simulation than an arcade game. The limited ammo and difficulty you will have in aiming will aggravate you if you were looking for a fast action packed space shooter.
A really good game, none the less.
