Hover Strike: Unconquered Lands is a shootervideo game developed and published by Atari Corporation exclusively for the Atari Jaguar CD in North America and Europe on October 23, 1995.[1][2] A remake of Hover Strike for the Atari Jaguar, it was created by most of the original team who worked on the original game and both titles share the same overall plot, where the Terrakian alien race seized control of a colonizedforeign planet and players are tasked with piloting an armed hovercraft vehicle in an attempt of rescuing the captured colonists and destroy the invading forces from the planet's surface before the Federation armada arrives.
As with the original game, Hover Strike: Unconquered Lands received mixed reception from critics after its initial release and many felt divided in regards to multiple aspects of the game such as the presentation, visuals, sound and gameplay.
Hover Strike: Unconquered Lands is a futuristic semi-open three-dimensional shooter game like its original predecessor, where the players take control of a heavily armed hovercraft vehicle across multiple missions set on a foreign planet, each one varying in terms of main objectives and thematic in order to annihilate the forces of the Terrakian Pirates from the planetary surface before the Federation's armada arrives to the location.[3] The game's progression system, two-player mode and controls act like the original game, however a Memory Trackcartridge has to be present for game saves.[3] The remake features new missions and enemies not found within the original title, along with improved graphics, an arranged CD-quality soundtrack, among other extras.[3]
