Starlight Inception is the rebellious stepchild of Wing Commander, X-Wing and Freespace 2, taking a fresh approach to a classic genre. More about this ambitious fighter for the Vita inside:
Featuring a 1st person and 3rd person perspective. A traditional campaign set during the "Fourth World War" where the battle takes place in the outreaches of space. Also featuring a pick up and play "Defend the base" mode where people can jump into the foray immediately by protecting their home base from hordes of enemies. Finally, multi-player which features deathmatch, capture the flag and defend the mothership.
One intriguing mode is "Space-Action" as defined by their Kickstarter page: "Action in space and over the surface of planets and moons. Fly over a planet’s atmosphere then swoop down over surface vehicles and troops for a visceral experience both at high and low altitudes."
The game is nearing completion with the beta believed to be going as we speak according to their latest update which could be found here (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/732317316/starlight-inceptiontm/posts.)
The game slated for a August release but could release later pending on beta tests. This will the first space sim/ arcade shooter that will grace that lovely PS Vita OLED screen. We will keep our eyes open on this one.
