Solar Struggle

Solar Struggle is an arcade action space shooter in which you pilot one of nine ships. You can play an 11-mission story about a young pilot or take on enemies in Skirmish mode. The game’s world is 3D, while combat takes place on a 2D plane.

Story

In 2016, government space-program budgets have fallen to a minimum. A private group of companies forms the Consortium to advance space exploration, and within a few decades it becomes the dominant producer of space equipment. Humanity unites under a world government in 2087, and the former governments’ armed forces become its police and security forces. The new government establishes a permanent Mars colony in 2094, with the Consortium taking an active part.

By 2169, humanity has reached the farthest corners of the solar system. Mining colonies spring up wherever raw materials can be extracted, and the Consortium grows into the solar system’s largest economic power, controlling much of the mining industry and selling ships and technology to the colonies. Prosperity also draws people who prey on honest workers, while the distances between planets make it difficult for the military to maintain control. The story follows a young pilot who narrowly escapes death when their convoy is attacked.
