Fun, well balanced. Keep the up the good work. ### 5/5 — Pew pew *2021-01-15, version 1.0* Very fun and innovative game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game unplayable *2021-06-04, version 2.0.1* Several errors that force quit when trying to do anything in the hangar. Cannot equip a special without error. Regret spending money on this. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2021-05-15, version 2.0.1* Some kind of string error can’t play game ### 1/5 — Game won’t load *2021-02-09, version 1.1* Played for an hour or so, the controls are laggy. Then it needed to in game update after closing it and taking a break, and now it’s been stuck for over an hour. Closed it and retried. No luck... kind of mad I paid for this ### 1/5 — It just isn’t fun *2021-01-23, version 1.1* The shmup portion of this game is absolutely terrible; the game supposedly being about long term strategy is not an excuse for the floaty and imprecise gameplay. ### 2/5 — Not fun *2021-10-09, version 2.2* Not really an arcade shooter. Both you and the enemies are bullet sponges with the only real test of reflexes coming from dodging enemies that fly out at you from the sides. Again, not fun. The game also has a weird RPG XP point system that carries over from game to game that can provide you with gameplay bonuses but you can't reset this accumulation and just start over without any XP points. This leads to a strange gameplay experience where it's not quite an arcade shooter and it's not a very good RPG. I don't know what this game is trying to be, but not allowing me to reset my progress and erase any accumulated XP is really the last straw for me. I will be deleting this from my phone to look for an authentic arcade shoot 'em up experience. ### 2/5 — Has potential bad controls *2021-02-08, version 1.1* Need to fix the controls of the game. Very unresponsive and the ship only shoots if right in front of the enemy. Needs to be shooting all of the time. ### 3/5 — Hmmmm *2021-07-21, version 2.2* I’m still getting the frozen title screen issue after updating. I’ve tried numerous times and every time I reinstall the game, it plays fine the first time, but close the game once (MAYBE twice if I’m really lucky), and the next time I try to load it up, it’ll get stuck downloading files at the opening title screen. I’m on an iPhone 11, iOS 14.4... ### 4/5 — Fun game exhausting tutorial *2021-06-10, version 2.1* Fun game exhausting tutorial though. Much too long and in depth for such basic gameplay. ### 4/5 — Phenom game *2021-03-27, version 1.25* Great game! Love the “FTL meets space Invaders” feel of it. Unfortunately no 5th star d2 game crashing. I’d love to send the crash report to the devs but I have no way of doing that in the app. ### 4/5 — Great potential *2021-02-06, version 1.1* Great game. This game would easily be five stars if not for the controls. Please tighten them up I really want to play this game. Thank you ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can’t stop playing *2024-08-31, version 3.2* I love playing Arkfront. The gameplay is fun - yet challenging - and very rewarding. I always play in my free time ### 5/5 — Beautiful new-gen galaga-like with lots of action *2021-12-15, version 2.2* ARKFRONT starts with a brief but good tutorial and then has you blasting asteroids and aliens while protecting the ARK. I have not experienced any of the issues mentioned by others and I am on an older iPhone. It seems like the devs put a lot of love and time into making the experience as enjoyable and reliable as possible. What excites me is that it sounds like they have plans to add much much more to the game! If you like beautiful space shooters, try out ARKFRONT, it's totally worth the time. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly Good *2021-06-02* This game caught me by surprise. It’s really we’ll designed and the gameplay is a lot of fun. Simple one handed controls and very reminiscent of old school games of arcade days. Usually similar games are clunky so this is refreshing. Its also not challenging in terms of level difficulty. It’s nice that the game is not filled with in app purchases and the privacy policy is also clean ### 5/5 — Really great! *2021-05-31, version 2.0.1* Everything about this game is top notch. A must-own. ### 5/5 — stuck in file loading- but is now fixed *2021-05-29, version 2.0.1* This game is fun- I want to keep playing- problem is, every time i minimize the game then come back, the game gets stuck in its opening down load of files sequence. Only solution so far is to start over. I would like to experience higher levels of this game- Ground Hogs Arc Day for me until something gets fixed. seems like what ever it was has been resolved- five stars for this —- fun stuff! ### 5/5 — The Controls *2021-04-17, version 1.25* Edit: 4/17/2021 Not sure what's going on though this iz my 3rd time installing from a frozen title screen. Help please... Are fixed, yaay👾 🎼❤️🎶 ### 5/5 — Controls fixed *2021-03-25, version 1.25* Update: The new controls are much better Tap to move just doesn’t work with a SHUMP. The ship often ends up hidden under your finger making it hard to dodge bullets. Also your ship only fires when things are immediately in front of you so you have to be up close and personal, making it hard to dodge things. ### 5/5 — Worth it 100% *2021-03-15, version 1.25* This game is super addictive! I lost a little sleep playing this at night. Totally worth the time into each level, reminds me of the good old shooters ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2021-03-15, version 1.25* This game was brought to my attention, didn’t have many high hopes, but once I started playing it, I was in awe of the beauty of the game. Phenomenal gameplay and visuals, definitely worth the $. ### 5/5 — Arkfront Awesome *2021-03-14, version 1.25* This is a great game. It’s exciting from the beginning until the end. I love the colors and graphics. Best game I’ve played in a while. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
