8 of 15Beautiful, smooth, error free, fast but rewarding upgrades, limited "grinding," excellent sense of speed and scale. A wonderful on rails space shooter. Exactly what I wanted. I hope they add more in the future because I can't get enough! Controller support is also flawless. Loved this game.
App crashes before you can run a mission every time. Please fix this latest version!
I was expecting an open-worldish game, not something like a SWTOR space mission.
It crashes every time I open it. Thought I would love it, but will never find out.
I like this game a lot for its graphics and overall gameplay, but there are definitely issues to solve when it comes to balance. I think that enemies in easy mode should be nerfed, as they are clearly hard to fight starting with Chameleon.
This is a brilliantly made game! The game is easy to pick up but it is hard to master. The graphics are very impressive for a mobile game and while the music and the voice acting isn't the best, it is serviceable. Honestly, this is one of my favorite games to play on my phone and I have zero complaints. Excellent job, developer(s)!
WIll not work or open on IPad Pro, a Major growing market within the Apple product line.
I’ve had Star Horizon for many years and I’ve played it several times. It’s one of my all-time favorite video games. I even own Star Horizon on android. A few years back I had an issue and I contacted customer support. She was very friendly and helpful and resolve my issue.
