### 4/5 — Solid game

*2020-05-19*

I don’t write many app reviews but I feel this game is fun and very well made but could be great. I have unlocked all the ships and weapons/equipment and left the game, I have returned to started over (that says something). What brought me back is that this is one of the best space dogfighting game in the App Store, I was hoping the game would have changed in my time away and others would have offered an alternative. Having said that, I would like the option of a cockpit view with a proper HUD, there are arrows to show you where the enemy ships are but not their direction of travel, that can make it difficult when the clock is running down and you only need one more kill but the ship you are chasing shoots by...  It would also be nice to have a slightly more in depth story mode and maybe more verity of enemies (capital ships, stations etc). Overall this is a game worth playing, great graphics, responsive controls, lots of ships and gear to buy.

### 2/5 — Controls ruin it

*2020-04-03*

This had the potential to be super fun, but a gyroscope only control scheme is frustrating and ridiculous. Not fun at all because of that, unfortunately.

### 1/5 — Nothing happens

*2019-09-03*

Looked good in the App Store. Downloaded the game, but nothing ever happens. All I can do is stare at the home screen. No ship, no gigs, no instructions. Graphics look good, but poor execution. Uninstalling.

### 4/5 — Score button needs fixing

*2019-07-08*

Every time I try to tap the score button in the main menu to view my score and level, the app crashes. Please fix

### 1/5 — It’s broken

*2019-04-20*

Doesn’t work! It loads, no instructions on what to do. I click on credits and it crashes.

### 5/5 — Really good

*2019-03-17*

Think of GoF1 but on steroids. This is that game. Also no storyline to initially string you along, and a large expansive universe, although smaller than GoF1’s

### 1/5 — Poor Rating

*2018-09-16*

Okay, I down loaded this game. I even scored some points. Left the game to return with every battle option closed off to me? Why?

There’s no instructions. This game is either defective or counter intuitive.

Those who’ve given high ratings means you’ve played the game. I can’t even begin.

Looks like a cool game by the one time I played it. Now I have to delete it. I’m using a 2nd gen iPad

### 5/5 — Bleep. Bleep. Bleep

*2018-09-16*

If anyone gets past the endless bleeps when pushing the myriad of buttons surrounding a frozen space ship I would like to hear about it.  Till then this useless and utterly non-intuitive frozen screen bleep maker gets deleted.

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2017-08-18*

Love the game! Very fun, easy to play, and awesome! It would be nice if you added more content, like harder difficulty, better controls, and allied A.I., but other than that, it's five stars!

### 4/5 — Update please.

*2017-08-06*

Better controls and more scenarios and this would be a great game guys.
