Crossfire II

Crossfire II is a top-down shooter with a single-player campaign and two multiplayer modes. You play as Karsten, a young rebel pilot, in a story told between and during missions, with important events shown in short films.

Campaign missions

The campaign includes varied missions, from solo or fleet space battles to espionage, escort missions and covert operations behind enemy lines. The identities of friends and enemies are not always clear. You pilot fast fighters, heavy bombers and large capital ships with independent turrets, which fight in space and near planetary surfaces. Transports seek cover amid the battles, while stationary turrets defend important locations; one mission also puts you in a tank.

Multiplayer modes

Survival mode pits one to four players against hordes of computer-controlled enemies. Teamwork is important, but the player who deals the most damage wins the round, leaving room for players to use dirty tricks against one another. Dogfight mode has two to four ships compete in an arena, where the last player alive wins.

Weapons and hazards

The multiplayer modes include weapons, items and hazards such as gravitonic mines, asteroids and black holes. You can configure nearly every aspect of these modes, including the frequency and types of items, weapon shop settings, and the number and intelligence of enemies.
