Community Insight:
A sci fi themed game that's out of this world it's one of the better games on iOS that runs smoothly and flawlessly we highly recommend this game.
If you go to the main bottom of the ground then we can't move from thare.
Sadly, it doesn't support the Steel Series Nimbus MFi wireless controller.
We like the controls, the flight, and the graphics, but the there are about a THOUSAND missiles every level that spawn from nowhere, making it impossible to get anywhere! Please fix this.
We love this game. The graphics are better than we thought and the gameplay is gorgeous.
Cool mechanics and whatnot, though it took a few tries to understand. Also, no IAP's :).
This game was a real surprise find. Very immersive and fast paced. Great game and well worth the price.
We couldn't wait to play it and build our ship and take it on missions.
We like it it's easy and have a nice grafics Good gob boys.
This is the most responsive game we have played on our iPad 3. We usually get frustrated with flight games but was hooked the first time we played this one.
Now this is a very cool game, especially on the newest iPad. It can get rather fast, but it is a lot of fun. We especially like that we're not having to accomplish some idiotic mission just to get an upgrade, or pay money for an upgrade. The scenery and action looks very nice, totally worth it's price! As for people who say the reviews are fake…. It's you who are fake. Probably someone trying to sell their own POS game. This one really is nice.
Well as flight games go this wins in our place of five stars! A few things tho if you have a first gen iPad don't get it, not a good enough ram to keep the graphics good. But if you don't want to be bored with theses games that the aircraft goes what seems like 25mph get it! WARNING!!! EXTREME AWESOMENESS AHEAD!!! For iPad two users and above.
Fun Controls need a little work and has tendency to loose progress but over all pretty nice.
Not bad as for a mobile simulator.
The scenery is really nice and when your in a battle it looks cool when stuff explode, and we also like how when you buy this game you have it! No in app purchases. The reason we gave it four stars was because when we're in a battle it tends to lag a bit, not to the point where it's unplayable, but it's annoying. We're on a iPhone 4.
Pictures makes it look way cooler than it actually is. It's not that great. Controls are finicky and the targeting system is just weird. Not really much to the game. Also graphics look worse than the picture depicts. Suggestion: play GOF2 or sky gamblers. More bang for your buck.
The game is fun. But, we want to know where all our games we beat went.? Ive beat a few worlds and we go back today and now we've got to start all over. We're not happy about that part. But it is cool.
Good game, especially for how well-priced it is.
Controls are shaky and we have an Ipad 3. Question…why is a space ship able to shoot old fashioned missles but not be able to crash when it hits the ground? The Anime looking characters are lame…lose em! Still has a long way to go till im hooked…keep working on it guys ;).
Fun, controllable, and great range. One can fly into the fringes of space and then dive down on the targets below.
This is the $&!/ ! It was cool before but after the update,even better!! Thanks Guys good work.
You all should advertise more so you all could get this game out there friends ask to see our new iPad so they play this game great work.
This is a fun pick up and play flight shooter. The latest update really upped the graphics and responsiveness in the game. It's actually really gorgeous. Worth the money.
Wow, this update was a doozy! Really changed they feel of the game from a psychedelic landscape cruise to a compelling space sim. Combat is much more fast-paced and exciting and the different planets now look less like fractal generations and more like… Planets! Lots of fun guys, brought us back for sure.
Overall a nice pick em up and play for a few mins here and there.
Got it for free (Thanks FC) but would have paid for something this well done. Great aerial shooter.
This game is a lot of fun. Flight controls are simple, missiles are fire-and-forget, the graphics look great on the Retina Display. It's a challenging game without being overly complex. Thanks.
We love the app so much. We fell in love with it right away. :)))).
We feel that this game has a very solid control scheme. It's simple yet entertaining and we enjoy the scifi design of the vehicles. It's got our 5 star support.
We love the fact that these developers keep refining this game with multiple updates that really shows that there interest in this game is consistent & often.we've had this game for a Long while know & it keeps getting better.Thank you guys & keep the updates coming we'll be waiting.
Great graphics and gameplay, bonus points for a flight stick option, however can we please have an option to invert the y axis? We'll up this to 5 stars thneen. :).
The general idea of the game is real good. The menu and selection screen is very bland and basic for having done so well with some of the in game graphics. There is very little realism to this game, landing hard produces no damage or crashing, high verticals do not lead into loops or anything than just a unreal rate of rise on your altimeter. Controls are not at all "fun". We feel we wasted our money, played 15 minutes and deleted the app.
It's a pretty neat little flying game. Controls are awesome, not too complicated or difficult. Reminds us of Above and Beyond that we loved and got dumped by its developers :,(.
Very entertaining and can't get eoungh of it.
It is a good game, the only problem is that it's a little harder to make money. Please fix.
It's a buck, so why not try it? OK lots of reasons, but don't worry too much. This is a very good looking colorful game with high speed, arcade style air combat in a Sci Fi setting. Different ships, upgradeable weapons and gear, and plenty of enemies in the air or on the ground trying to kill you every second. Nice! Our only complaint is it takes far to long to earn credit to buy upgrades that while effective aren't dramatically better then the last.
Game is a lot of fun, but it takes way to long be for you can up grade. This take much of the fun out of the game and makes you wan't to quit. It would be great if they would correct this.
Like gamelofts battlestar or whatever it's called or that Other metal storm. Terrible controls half the time ur flying up but the game has a very low ceiling so ur stuck hitting invisible walls the objective isn't clear it's extremely Arcady. And then our worst pet peeve about flight games. They try to make it easy and get rid of the pitch roll and yaw it does it all for u and we can't stand how limiting this is to our flying. Roll is crucial to flight and dogfights. Try sky gamblers rise of glory. For a great looking ww1 flight dogfight sim and skies of glory battle for Britain or even the lite version for it is great. The graphics are better gameplay everything. This just makes no sense visibly gameplay wise it below average only get if it's free buyer beware.
But the ship still shakes horribly. Wind shear? A problem with the motion sensitivity? No matter what position you calibrate it from, it's never stable on our iPad. Even when we start from a flat position, or even set it down, the ship twitches and bucks in the middle of the screen, like it's performing some kind of hit test in relation to the terrain below. We really want this to be a good game, we like the graphics fine, but the ship needs to be rock steady in the middle of our screen. It's really distracting. Please fix it.
It's not that fun, the flight animation is terrible and the graphics are bland.
This is a great arcade flight sim. Very old school blow stuff up fun.
Great maps, fantastic music and smooth visuals. Get it.
A unique and well thought out game with great terrain and expansive environments. Worth a buy.
Perfect. We wonder why it's out of Top 100 or even in the game category. But need more planes and gamemodes. The map is enough we think lol. Yes just add more gamemode And we want multiplayer mode up to 8players death math. Isn't it awesome Think about it. Wow Please add anything Good luck^^.
The game has very good graphics but we wish we could just choose a ship then choose a planet and just go for a free flight. If you add a free flight mode people will buy this game, we promise. (game could be easier, game needs a free flight.).
It's no high polish game, and we certainly didn't buy it for graphics. But we love these types of games and this one is a good one. The gameplay is fast and smooth and the class & upgrade system keeps the playability addictive. We would like to see a few different styles of missions thou.
