Strike Suit Infinity is a frantic high score chaser set in the Strike Suit Zero universe. Your skill is the only thing that matters and whatever combat experience you've had so far is irrelevant. There is no end to the enemies you'll face. There is no winning. There is only the fight for survival.
What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $1.39, set in February 2016. It has been discounted 43 times in the 13 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 14 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 27 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 14 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 21 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 62 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Jets'n'Guns Gold ($7.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Orbital Gear (free, scores 59).
Critics scored it 66. Players sit 16 points higher at 82 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Steam's global achievement data says about 5 percent of players ever finish it. On a 6-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 200 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 38 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Holy mother of tactical space mayhem, Strike Suit Infinity looked at Strike Suit Zero and basically screamed, "Move over, cupcake. I'm about to inject pure adrenaline directly into your eyeballs." This game takes the absolute BEST part of Zero-the combat-and cranks that glorious &#$%! to eleven. No unnecessary padding, no boring downtime, just relentless, score-chasing space carnage that'll have you muttering, "One...
An arcade space ship shooter with a small mech-type component to it. Depending on which of the three platforms you choose from it can range in its level of difficulty. The controls are tight enough with the keyboard and mouse, but the gameplay can get repetitive as you continually progress through the levels with the latter levels really supplying bullet-sponge enemies at times. The main objective, beyond beating...
runs like ♥♥♥♥ on modern hardware, if you're interested in the strike suit game(s) probably just buy the directors cut

Strike Suit Infinity scores 63/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/234160/strike-suit-infinityThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 7, price as of Sep 24.
