As is often the case these days, movies get apps/games that tie in to said movie, and in this case the movie and tie-in are for the new Independence Day that’s set to drop next month. In this game, players are looking to fend off an alien invasion of the planet Earth, and will do this by assembling and leading the best ESD squadron possible.
There are two major facets that need to be balanced in order to succeed with this. To wit, players will need to engineer the best fighters possible, including the incorporation of alien technology in order to create hybrid fighters, and will include weapons such as laser cannons, or cold fusion warheads. The second facet focuses on personnel, in that players will be recruiting the best pilots available, and assigning said pilots to the appropriate craft for their abilities. Regarding the latter, some of the pilots available will even be veterans of the first invasion in 1996.
