Starhawk

About

Starhawk casts you as Emmett Graves a half-mutated mercenary caught in a space-western war over volatile Rift Energy. Fight across alien planets in a hybrid third-person shooter and real-time strategy game. Blast enemies while commanding an orbiting drop ship to deploy turrets walls and bases on the fly. Shift between direct combat and tactical management during chaotic firefights against human-turned-monsters called Outcasts. The game blends fast shooting with on-the-fly base building. Released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 it supports single-player campaigns and multiplayer modes including co-op and player versus player. Community feedback highlights the dynamic battlefield control though some find the dual mechanics demanding. A niche choice for players wanting action with strategic depth.
