Pacific Strike Overview
Pacific Strike is a flight simulator set during World War II, where the player assumes the role of a pilot. The game utilizes an adapted version of the RealSpace engine previously seen in Strike Commander. Missions encompass a variety of combat operations, including dogfights and bombing runs, often modeled on actual historical battles. Aircraft and armaments from both the United States and Japan are represented.
A defining feature is the game's dynamic campaign, where mission outcomes have lasting consequences. The player's performance directly influences the broader narrative of the war. Key targets that are not eliminated can reappear as obstacles later, while significant successes can accelerate Allied progress. This system allows for alternate historical paths, potentially leading to an early conclusion of the conflict or to a scenario where American forces are defeated.
