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.

Excellent

Excellent game. Awesome story, great gameplay and controls. Download it now. Don’t hesitate.

Absolutely a must have

Everything is well refined. Believable Space shooting action!

This game is tight!

Hey, man, if you like old school space combat dogfighting games like Freelancer, Freespace 2, TIE Fighter, and even newer incarnations like Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, etc., this game is legit. Yep, totally worth it. It’s basically the space combat part of Stellar Wanderer, without the wandering and trading.

Cockpit space combat sim. The ships even get up close so you can see em. The only thing I’d recommend changing is PLEASE give us a STRAFING ability, to strafe left or right. Otherwise, yep, get this game.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, we are happy that you like the game! To do strafes you can use a MFi controller (or any compatible one: XB1, PS4, etc).

Fun game, until everything disappears

Just what I said, it was a great game until I lost everything but the trophies or achievements. The support website has a problem and could not be emailed. It was a lot of fun, a throwback to the excellent Wing Commander games. It was fun while it lasted.

Fun space game must get

Terrible

Horrible game

Spacetastic

This is the pocket Wing Commander / X-Wing / Freespace / TIE Fighter game I wanted. Controls and enemy physics feel right, with enough inertia to seem like a space game but arcadey enough that you still have control over your ship. Touch and tilt controls are equally effective, depending on your dexterity and situation. The new mission modes provide the story structure that isn't strictly needed but make this feel more complete than the earlier versions of the game. It has in app purchases, but they're all optional, there are no nags, and extra purchases are not needed to progress and have fun. The developer has a bunch of tutorial videos and seems to understand what made the old space sims from the 1990s work well. The only thing that really bugs me? The tiny fonts are hard to read on the iPhone and should be changed (though they look great on the iPad).

Space Age Starburst

Amazing space shooter. Great Graphics. Realistic Gameplay. Intuitive UI. Very Responsive. No boring bulky storyline with stupid skimpy costumes taking up valuable space. Only 70MB! Fantastic ships. Have played the entire game then deleted and now playing all over again from the beginning. Would be terrific on Apple TV! Only improvements would be more levels and a spaceship icon.

Not recommended game, POOR

The targeting system doesn't work at some time during the game. It took a lot of time to destroy one ship. Doesn't recognize the ship you purchased.

Very buggy.

Enemies fly through asteroids, you cannot. Backgrounds art is crude and not very attractive. Controls are boring. Bad story line. Etc, etc, etc.

Bad graphics, poor storyline and writing

Expected much more from the game

Horrible

Don't get this game ever it is just crap because u can't mine u can't get cool ships there's only 4 ships and u have to be like level 14 so that takes for ever it would be a fun game but it's not free roam or anything

Cool game, poor MFi implementation

I'll just list the issues with MFi support, hopefully they'll be noticed by the developer.

1.) There is no need to have simultaneous MFi and accelerometer controls. It makes it very difficult to play when you have to hold the controller perfectly still. It doesn't make sense. Give us an option to turn it off.
2.) When pressing R2 to fire, the ship also accelerates at the same time. This doesn't happen when using X to fire. The problem is not my controller (moga rebel) as it only happens in this game.
3.) Instead of using the second analog to slide (wth is that for anyway??), how about giving us the ability to rotate, so we have full control of our ship in 3D space?

Fix these things, and the game will improve dramatically.

Good game

I really like this game it's a great time killer and i have a few suggestions like what if they added a open world mode and you could explore space and find planets and I would like it if they added multiplayer race mode or dog fights and clans thanks
