Strike Suit Infinity

Strike Suit Infinity is a score-chasing arcade combat game that trims away a lot of campaign baggage and leaves the loop of blasting fighters, grabbing bonuses, and pushing for a cleaner run. By our assessment, that focus is its best trick: it gets to the part where the screen is busy and the ship feels quick without asking for much setup. The trade-off is obvious too, because there is less story, less progression, and less long-term structure than in a full space shooter. In practice it wants short, sharp sessions and a bit of concentration, especially when the enemy waves start stacking up. Compared with bigger modern space games, it is leaner and more direct, almost old-school in how plainly it asks for skill. The name Strike Suit Infinity fits it well, because the appeal is really the loop itself rather than anything decorative around it.
