Bitfighter
Bitfighter is a free multi-player 2-D space combat game with
Robotron-like controls. It is a team-based strategy game featuring
retro vector graphics and customizable ships. The game is fast,
addictive, and hectic.
In Bitfighter, you control a triangular ship. Your goal
depends on the game type. You might be attempting to capture a flag or
shoot a ball into a goal. You might be gathering flags or capturing
zones. You'll come into contact with enemy players, who you must fight
with the various weapons you have chosen. Each weapon has their own
strategic purpose. Bouncer, for example, is a type of projectile that
bounces off of walls. This would be useful for a level with tight
corridors.
You'll be assisted with modules, which you can also choose.
Each of these modules also serve their own unique
purpose. Cloak allows you to turn invisible for a short period of time.
It is perfect for sneaking up on enemies.
Enemy players aren't your only problem. Enemy turrets are
stationary, automatic firing devices that have a strong determination
to destroy you. Enemy laserbeams don't harm you, but they attempt to
block your path. Luckily, both of these devices can be destroyed, but
it won't be easy. Games can have a strategic flavour, or players can
just enjoy blasting one another.
