Xenoraid is set in near future, where an alien fleet of limited size is detected closing in on Earth. Attempts to communicate with the incoming vessels fail, and as purpose built starfighters don't yet exist, available spacecrafts are weaponized and turned into first generation starfighters. Plenty of hot shoot'em up action ensues.(Storyline via IGDB)
