SSZ has a fast-paced, skill-based combat system that requires managing speed, position and weapons of the Strike Suit while keeping track of a large number of enemies. Getting rid of a certain number of enemies will transform the agile fighter into a powerful all-killing machine. There are a few levels in the beginning and the middle of the game that require piloting a typical fighter that help illustrate the power of the Suit as well as function as a welcome change of pace.
