### 3/5 — 面白かったけどあえて苦言

*2023-09-19*

全メダルコンプ済
シンプルだけど触ってて気持ちいい操作感で空戦を楽しめます。
ほぼ近接攻撃がメインなので、個人的にはもう少し慣性のある挙動の方が好みですが。
(右方向へ飛行中、滑りながら上攻撃出来たり)

ほんのり成長要素も有り。ただし攻撃力と耐久力があればどうとでもなるので、高速機の使い所が無いのは残念なバランス。

機械に支配された地上の浄化にドラゴン…という設定がとてもツボ。
陰鬱で無機質な雰囲気と音楽や、進行度で解放される硬派なSFストーリーも想像を掻き立ててくれて良い。

唯一にして最大の不満点…

ミッション数、ボリュームが物凄く少ない。
某地球を防衛するゲームのように、ちょっとずつちょっとずつ内容を変えてカサ増ししてくれて良いんです。
ダラダラと似たようなミッションをこなすだけで最高に楽しいゲームになり得ます。

全メダルコンプは割と簡単に出来てしまうので、すぐやる事が無くなってしまいます。
もっともっとプレイしたかった…。

全体的に素晴らしいゲームですが、このボリュームの無さを鑑みると自分は400円買い切りの価値を見出せませんでした。

広告収入ありきで無料ゲームで良いかなと思ってしまいます。

### 5/5 — Lost Sky

*2021-08-08*

Starving for well developed shmups, I took a chance on this one and do not regret it. 
Controls: MFi or virtual joystick (static, floating or follow - can take a couple levels to really get the hang of, but once you do, it feels great!)
Difficulty levels: easy, medium, hard
Modes: campaign/story or multiplayer (but MP never has other players due to, I’m guessing, low sales)
Upgrades: spend orbs to upgrade HP, attack strength, attack reach, special attack, acceleration and speed
Medals: each stage has a gold, silver, bronze medal based on score
Stages: 7, each with different and meaningful objectives with quite a few enemy types and ways that you’ll have to attack in order to defeat them
IAP: THANKFULLY NO!!!!

There’s settings for FPS (30 or 60) and graphics (low + high), as well as separate music and fx; on/off options. Languages included are Japanese and English. 

I haven’t beaten the game yet (only on stage 5), but am enjoying it VERY much. And with the AppStore STARVING for shmup titles, I’m really surprised this doesn’t have any reviews after being out for so long.

Really hope it doesn’t get pulled and the dev is working on more games, because there’s clearly loads of talent here and the game, honestly, should cost more than it does considering what all is included and how well it’s executed. 

Great job!!! 👍👍

### 3/5 — いい！！

*2021-01-23*

まずはメンクリ

### 4/5 — いいガァ

*2019-07-16*

色んな機体が増えたら最高ですね！

### 4/5 — 空を飛べて楽しいです

*2018-06-09*

機械に乗っ取られた地上を奪還するために、ドラゴンが絡んでくるというのが斬新なような。
ミサイルなど敵の攻撃を、爪で破壊できるのは良いですね。割とロマンです。

### 5/5 — 友軍ミッションが楽しい

*2018-04-18*

ドラゴンで戦闘メカを倒す自由移動シューティングです。
厳密には接近攻撃が多いのでアクションかもしれません。この手のゲームでは仲間が弱いですが、このゲームでは仲間を生かしながら敵を倒す立ち回りを求められ、終盤は戦線維持が楽しかったですね。
また、上達するほど惑星の秘密が明かされるのが楽しく、ひさびさに繰り返しプレイしてしまいました。

### 5/5 — 面白い！

*2018-04-16*

とあるサイトで紹介されていたので、ダウンロードしてみました。とりあえず、イージーでクリア。結論から言うと非常に面白かったです。2Dながら爽快感のあるドッグファイトを楽しめました。ミッション数はやや少なめに感じましたが、パワーアップ要素や獲得点数によるメダルなど、繰り返しプレイしたくなるギミックが詰まっています。個人的に世界観を深く知ることが出来るデータベースの存在がモチベーションに大きく繋がりました。また、硬派で、退廃的なストーリーは一昔前のアーケードを彷彿とさせます。アップデートも予定されているようなので、それも楽しみです。まずは全解放目指してプレイしていきたいと思います。
