Our take on Sun Blast: Star Fighter
Rather than presenting a balanced starfighter campaign, the game frames combat around severe numerical disadvantage: one ship faces alien forces that have already destroyed Earth's military. Progression through ranks, ship upgrades, and medal-based replay adds structure to that underdog premise.
What is Sun Blast: Star Fighter?
Sun Blast: Star Fighter is a 3D space shooter set after alien forces destroy Earth's military.
Players choose one of three starfighters, each with a distinct appearance and behavior, then join a counter-assault against stealth fighters and gigantic starships. Combat rewards progress through ranks and allows upgrades to ship weapons and defenses. Levels span planet orbits, underground tunnels, and infested military bases. Completed stages can be replayed to earn medals. The game includes full gamepad support, Steam achievements, and leaderboards. Its campaign presents the player as heavily outmatched, with victory depending on tactical play and luck.
