X Fleet is a new Android shooter that’s been designed a little differently. It’s sort of a cross between a 2D shooter and an adventure game with… RPG elements. It could be the best thing ever, heralding a new age and inventing an entirely new genre. Or it might be nonsense.
Here’s how the developer describes this new experience:
I set out to do things differently – I desperately wanted to avoid the puzzle / physics cloning that’s rampant in the market. I didn’t even want to bring a classic space shooter into the world.
The end result is a space shooter cut up with the familiar RPG elements of weapons/ship upgrades, NPCs, quests, and a full narrative. Final Fantasy-esque towns take the form of the orbit of all the worlds of the solar system.
Still none the wiser. Here’s what it looks like:
Good to see the British Pound used as a space currency for once. The game’s free to download, with a few ads and some non-essential micro transactions inside to help support it and pay for the maker to one day update his PC’s graphics card.
There’s a trailer on the developer’s site and X Fleet is on the Android Market here
