In the distant future, humanity has been enslaved by an alien people and is on the verge of extinction. The player embodies a pilot who joins the human rebellion, hoping to finally push back the invader.

Gameplay

The Raven Project is a space combat game in the lineage of Star Wars: Rebel Assault from LucasArts released two years earlier. The player controls different gears (spaceships, ground combat robots) in subjective view: the screen displays the cockpit of the craft and the main commands are at the bottom of the screen. The player moves in various environments and must complete a series of missions. The missions are introduced by cinematic scenes shot with real actors.

Critical reception

IGN felt the game contained "crappy FMV nonsense".[1] Electric Play thought while the game had a good concept at its core, it was let down by bad execution.[2] Russian technology site Itkvariat thought the game won the hearts and minds of space shooter connoisseurs.[3]
