The game will immerse players in high-stakes nuclear-powered space combat, with a strong emphasis on combat tactics and meticulous attention to scientific accuracy.
If you're a fan of the space combat simulation genre, you might want to check out the upcoming game from developer Impeller Studios. Its new game, In The Black (formerly known as Starfighter Inc), will challenge players to engage in intense nuclear-powered space combat in the 23rd century, with a laser-like focus on combat tactics and a serious respect for scientific accuracy.
In the game, players will assume the role of private military contractors, or mercenaries, who are employed by megacorporations to engage in covert wars aimed at securing control over the system's valuable resources.
In The Black will offer both single-player and online co-op modes, allowing players to team up with others to tackle challenging missions and engage in high-stakes battles.
According to the developer, In The Black combines elements of Counter-Strike's permadeath and World of Warships' technical depth and customization.
Players will have the opportunity to pilot advanced nuclear-powered combat spacecraft based on real-world science and engineering and personalize them to suit their preferences. With a vast array of customization options available, players can equip their ships with advanced weapons systems, electronic and cyber warfare capabilities, and more.
The game features a variety of single and multi-crew fighters, reconnaissance ships, strike craft, and support ships, each equipped with advanced weapon systems such as bomb-pumped lasers, railguns, and missiles, as well as electronic and cyber warfare capabilities.
Additionally, the game's focus on storytelling and immersive setting promises to deliver a distinctive gameplay experience that goes beyond a typical shooter.
