8 of 15Decided to purchase this because it is still updated and supported by the developers. The game is lots of fun, I really enjoy the gameplay, highly recommended !!
4 Stars….5 if the devs make the text easier to read. Good space combat game. Almost an original Wing Commander.
Love this game! Great visuals and starfighter space flight combat! Love the FTL jump drive on the story line too.
Fun space game must get
This is the pocket Wing Commander / X-Wing / Freespace / TIE Fighter game I wanted. Controls and enemy physics feel right, with enough inertia to seem like a space game but arcadey enough that you still have control over your ship. Touch and tilt controls are equally effective, depending on your dexterity and situation. The new mission modes provide the story structure that isn't strictly needed but make this feel more complete than the earlier versions of the game. It has in app purchases, but they're all optional, there are no nags, and extra purchases are not needed to progress and have fun. The developer has a bunch of tutorial videos and seems to understand what made the old space sims from the 1990s work well. The only thing that really bugs me? The tiny fonts are hard to read on the iPhone and should be changed (though they look great on the iPad).
Everything is well refined. Believable Space shooting action!
Expected much more from the game
Enemies fly through asteroids, you cannot. Backgrounds art is crude and not very attractive. Controls are boring. Bad story line. Etc, etc, etc.
