### 3/5 — Amazing remaster for a not amazing game

*2025-02-26*

Well the original might not have aged very well with it’s combat lacking any sort of depth and the only “strategy” is simply stacking your units and easily wipe out any enemy you see. The remastered graphics and control’s definitely make this game a lot more enjoyable to play than in the original ZX Spectrum version. Even though this remastered port definitely deserves 5 stars for now I have to give it 3 since this game has a lot of bugs with one even softlocking me and forcing a restart

### 4/5 — Good, but a little buggy.

*2023-07-08*

I've been enjoying this game. I never played it in '85. Definitely old school, but fun/challenging.

One problem I have though is that the game randomly quits on it's own and resets to a previous save point.

### 4/5 — Crash! - Update

*2019-01-26, version 1.5*

Following a recent update the game is now stable.

### 5/5 — Shadowfire

*2020-09-28, version 1.7*

Great work getting this to iPad- thank you. Love classic Soectrum games and this was always one of the best. Alive the update and love that it still plays like I’m in the 80’s. Thanks👍🏻

### 5/5 — Great nostalgic journey

*2020-06-30, version 1.7*

I wasn’t even looking for this I didn’t know it existed, I used to play this on my Commodore 64, this version is amazing thank you. Music is different though!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game

*2019-10-15, version 1.7*

This was my favourite spectrum game, and this remake is absolutely great. Thank you for making this and doing such a wonderful job with it! 5 stars without a doubt.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-04-02, version 1.6*

I remember this on my spectrum and it was one of my favourite games.It even had a sequel which was twice as hard.This new version is really beautiful to look at and play.I love the soundtrack too.It was nearly £20 to buy on my spectrum.For £3.99' you better a better game that I still find addictive to play. Well done and I hope you bring the follow up out of this too.
