Aiming for an aesthetic \u201csomewhere between Homeworld and Star Fox,\u201d the developer states the upcoming title is a tribute to \u201cthe golden age of space sims, and a love letter to the people who grew up with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Using first-person combat, you play as a newly qualified Alliance pilot caught in a fight between two galactic superpowers fighting alongside a group of alien teammates. Alliance Peacefighter gives you full control over the ship&#8217;s power and shield distribution, and it&#8217;s a hybrid game built for flatscreen and VR. Motion controllers, gamepads, HOTAS joysticks, and Steam Deck are all supported.<\/p>\n<p>Presently, Alliance Peacefighter is only coming to Steam, and that doesn&#8217;t look set to change unless the game&#8217;s successful. Asked in a YouTube comment if the upcoming space sim would also reach Quest, Urban Logic Games replied, \u201cPC VR only for now I&#8217;m afraid. If the game does well enough we&#8217;ll investigate other platforms.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Alliance Peacefighter launches on June 4 on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3538210\/Alliance_Peacefighter\/?ref=uploadvr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steam<\/a>, and we&#8217;ll aim to bring you impressions soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Inspired by Wing Commander and X-Wing, Alliance Peacefighter brings a story-driven space sim to PC VR next week.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147077,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3162],"tags":[53,16,15,3243,3244],"class_list":{"0":"post-147076","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-technology","9":"tag-uk","10":"tag-united-kingdom","11":"tag-virtual-reality","12":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114603060249747170","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
