Space Fighter

About

Space Fighter casts you as a mecha pilot blasting through waves of enemies. Controls are straightforward but responsive letting you maneuver your hulking machine and fire weapons with precision. The 3D environments add depth to the action though polygon count is low. Missions take place across asteroid fields and alien strongholds. Combat is fast-paced with basic missiles and special attacks. The game's visuals draw comparisons to a popular anime but gameplay is distinct. Community ratings average 7.2 out of 10 praising tight controls and challenge. Critics note the short campaign at six hours but recommend it for 90s mecha action fans. The 1992 Watara release makes it a nostalgic pick for retro players.
