Our take on Silverwing
Silverwing departs from a fixed-mission action structure by tying flight combat to a selectable fleet, mission-specific equipment, territorial progress, and decisions that can change the campaign's ending.
What is Silverwing?
Silverwing is an action flight game using a six-degrees-of-freedom flight system.
Its campaign includes more than 20 voiced missions with objectives such as search and destroy, high-speed chases, stealth reconnaissance, escort, location securing, turret building, and tower defense. Players can fly 8 ships with different gameplay styles, earning credits from completed missions to upgrade acceleration, speed, shields, hull, weapons, and missile capacity. Weapons and special abilities can be changed for each mission, and ship colors can be customized. Combat includes fighters, bombers, turrets, and capital ships. Mission decisions affect the campaign and its multiple endings, while a system map displays progress, fleet locations, and territorial control.
