Love this game! Great visuals and starfighter space flight combat! Love the FTL jump drive on the story line too.

Fun but the text needs updating

4 Stars….5 if the devs make the text easier to read. Good space combat game. Almost an original Wing Commander.

MUCH IMPROVED!

I bought Strike Wing: Raptor Rising 7 years ago and gave it three stars at the time. There were many issues with that early version of the game. I’m happy to see that nearly all of those issues have been resolved. The controls are greatly improved although I wish that joystick was just a bit closer to the bottom left of the screen for smaller hands. That being said, this game has never looked or played better. I do have one issue with the rolling subtitles. Why are they rolling? Please just let the subtitles remain stationary so players won’t have to wait for them to roll around three or four times to read the very small text. Graphics are very nice, learning curve is modest, music is . . . adequate, replay value is very good. Thanks for the updates. Overall a four star rating from me.
