News: Top-down shooter being develeped by Tiki Games.

Tiki Games has announced they are hard at work on the top-down shooter Novastrike for the PlayStation Network. According to the company, the game will be available on the PSN sometime soon.

Tiki has also confirmed the game will include DualShock 3 support and that downloadable content to expand the game will be available this year. Other features include:

Seven expansive challenging stages driven by objective-based goals

Free-roaming flight: there aren't any rails here, so players can fly in any direction

Progressive weapon acquisition and upgrade system: as the player collects weapon drops from enemy ships the weapons themselves become available to the Scythe - there are nine base weapon systems, each with three subsequent upgrade levels

Air and ground targets: two separate weapon systems allow the player to combat both air and ground opponents

Multi-sectioned enemies where individual components can be destroyed; for example, carriers have hangars that launch fighters - these hangars can be destroyed independently of destroying the Carrier, preventing the Carrier from launching additional fighters

Multitude of enemies and environments: players combat enemy fighters, bombers, kamikazes, aces, carriers, and destroyers, all leading to an end-boss fight

You're not alone: friendly fighters, bombers, and destroyers will aid you in your efforts to vanquish the Draelus invasion

DualShock 3 support

Continuing support: Tiki Games will be developing additional content for Novastrike throughout 2008

We'll have more on Novastrike soon.
