## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Adds

*2024-07-04*

Adds pop up right in the middle of a boss fight causing you to loose the fight

### 1/5 — Can’t upgrade by just playing the game

*2021-07-25, version 1.05*

I definitely do not recommend this game. In order to upgrade the ship, playing the levels is useless as you get significantly more stars watching 30 ads then actually playing a level. Very stupid and something that can be fixed easily. Such a shame because the game has potential. If you like watching ads after ads then go for it. Not going to waste my free time.

### 1/5 — Sky Force rip off

*2019-06-08, version 1.03*

Its Sky Force Reloaded if Sky Force Reloaded was a horrible game!

### 2/5 — Good but no

*2018-01-09, version 1.03*

This was a great way to show classic arcade shooters. The airships are too slow to the point where they are slower than bullets being shot at you.

Next issue there are no weapon upgrades. How do you have a shooter with no upgrades.

The graphics are great but some of the enemies fly upward like 3dish to the point your bullets don't touch them. 

This was a good try but i would not play.

### 2/5 — Boring and underdeveloped

*2017-07-13, version 1.02*

Long boring stages, graphics are really dark, ships & upgrades are pointless and identical aside from skins. Basic, basic, basic.. go play Skyforce or Hawk if you want gameplay

### 3/5 — Decent Skyforce clone, not perfect

*2019-11-20*

The good: Great graphics, great performance even on low end devices, fun gameplay (the enemy patterns can get a bit repetitive but still decent). Nice sound, although it could really do with more than 1 music track.

Not so good: The grinding, balancing & meta. Game relies on you to upgrade your plane and buy new planes to progress. You can either play a 3 minute round and win 200-300 stars if you compete it, or watch a 30s reward ad for 500 stars. So the game ends up tempting you to watch ads and not play. Skyforce had great balance here which kept you playing.

Hopefully this can be fixed in a future update, because there’s potentially great game in here!

### 3/5 — Too much grinding

*2019-04-26, version 1.03*

Beautiful graphics, genius controls, but the amount of stars you get per level (the thing needed to make upgrades) [mind you these upgrades feel mandatory to progressing forward) there needs to be a mission clear bonus like 250 stars or give us 5 stars for every 1000 points scored on the mission IF we clear it. Something! I wind up just watching ads instead of playing the game to get the stars I need. Which is sad because it’s fun, I should earn more stars from playing a 5 minute mission vs a 30 sec video ad.

### 5/5 — Make it easier

*2019-09-16, version 1.03*

Make it easier noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

### 5/5 — Great shoot 'em up game

*2017-07-27, version 1.03*

Great and surreal! I haven't seen a game with outstanding graphics for an app, ever, until now. This game gives and feels such a feeling of realistic game play like from a Playstation or an Xbox. Awesome!!!

### 5/5 — Fun mobile game

*2017-07-10, version 1.02*

Fantastic retro shooter. This is a great example of what a simple yet fun mobile game should be like. Not online compulsory and no in your face in app purchases. Play slowly and collect stars or the option to pay their way is there but not necessary. Great graphics to boot. It is clear that the developers have put alot of thought into designing this game.
