Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut by Born Ready Games (Xbox One, $19.99 ERP)
Also available Aug. 1-31,
Strike Suit Zero: Director’s Cut has its origins in crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and was the first title from the ID@Xbox program. You take on the role of a pilot of the titular suit, flying it against aggressors in epic space battles. One of the key hooks is that you are only a small part of these battles, with huge ships duking it out around you, and your objectives within them clearly defined – but it’s up to you to accomplish them as you see fit. With fantastic ship design, gigantic battles, and plenty of weapons and enemies to deal with,
Strike Suit Zero: Director’s Cut gives space-sim fans on Xbox One plenty to chew on.
Crimson Dragon and
Strike Suit Zero: Director’s Cut will replace July’s Xbox One Games with Gold titles
