Earth's frontier is breaking, and no single ace can save it. Command Starstrike Squadron: a growing alliance of pilots, engineers, defectors, and survivors drawn from Earth and the rival civilizations of nearby star systems. Fight through a 500-stage vertical-shooter campaign spanning the Solar System and neighboring stars. Dodge dense projectile patterns, break capital-ship defenses, destroy exposed boss cores, and deploy wingmates whose weapons and skills change the shape of every battle. BUILD A DIVERSE SQUADRON Discover 100 pilots with distinct portraits, ships, affinities, and combat roles. Former enemies can become trusted allies as the war expands beyond its original front. MASTER ARCADE SPACE COMBAT Switch between Vulcan, laser, and plasma weapon systems. Collect upgrades during battle, time active skills and ultimates, and keep your formation alive through escalating enemy waves. BREAK MULTI-PHASE BOSSES Target individual weak points, strip shields, survive phase changes, and bring down warships that fight like moving battlefields. EXPLORE THE WAR Follow an English story campaign, uncover side missions, revisit the pilot archive, and travel from lunar defenses to Mars, Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri, and the deeper stellar frontier. DEVELOP YOUR FLEET Upgrade ships and parts in the hangar, earn resources through play, complete missions and achievements, and shape a squadron built for your preferred combat style. The main campaign can be played offline. Game Center features and in-app purchases require an internet connection.
