Our take on Strike Squadron: Caracará
The game trades elite-pilot power and top-tier equipment for a lower-status military perspective. That choice makes resource limitations and an under-equipped squadron part of the setting, while the campaign gives substantial space to dialogue and consequences between missions.
What is Strike Squadron: Caracará?
Fly as a pilot in one of the United Nations’ smallest and least-equipped squadrons in a 2D space simulation set in 2145.
Missions cover several roles, including combat, exploration, reconnaissance, precision strikes, and infiltration behind enemy lines. Between missions, conversations with wingmen reveal more about the setting and respond to dialogue choices. Mission outcomes, failures, and decisions influence the story and relationships. The campaign follows a divided humanity facing alien powers, space pirates, smugglers, and competing human factions. Its setting centers on the Southern Alliance, a group of South American and African nations operating with limited resources while seeking a place in humanity’s future.
