Starship Troopers

Vast, open spaces

Star Wars: Episode I - Battle for Naboo

Sci-fi setting

A vehicle-based action shooter tied to the first Star Wars prequel: fly and drive Naboo starfighters, speeders and other craft through 15+ missions against the Trade Federation's droid armies on land, sea and in space.

Necrodome

Shooting and gunplay

A 1996 shooter where you pilot a heavily armed futuristic tank through arena-style combat. The description is sparse and I know the game only partly, so the rating is cautious.

RIP 3: The Last Hero

Realistic visuals

A small 2006 indie arcade shooter with relentless action, where each level asks for sharp aim and a bit of tactical thinking.

Incoming Forces

Sci-fi setting

An arcade-style sci-fi shooter from 2002 in which you fight as an alien soldier defending your home world against a human armada. Levels are packed with enemies and targets to destroy.

Gun Metal

Sci-fi setting

You pilot a giant combat mech that can switch into an agile jet at any moment, fighting an invading force across linear missions. The fast swap between ground and air combat is the main appeal.
