Find out what gamers are saying about Star Horizon:
We’ve had Star Horizon for many years and we’ve played it several times. Its one of our all-time favorite video games. We even own Star Horizon on android. A few years back we had an issue and we contacted customer support. She was very friendly and helpful and resolve our issue.
Dont bother with Apple Arcade or Redout, just get this game. Its the only decent on-the-rails space shooter on iOS. You can try to find another one, but good luck.
This is a brilliantly made game! The game is easy to pick up but it is hard to master. The graphics are very impressive for a mobile game and while the music and the voice acting isn’t the best, it is serviceable. Honestly, this is one of our favorite games to play on our phone and we have zero complaints. Excellent job, developer(s)!
We like this game a lot for its graphics and overall gameplay, but there are definitely issues to solve when it comes to balance. We think that enemies in easy mode should be nerfed, as they are clearly hard to fight starting with Chameleon.
We were expecting an open-worldish game, not something like a SWTOR space mission.
It crashes every time we open it. Thought we would love it, but will never find out.
GC crashes when you click on achievements button within game. IOS 9.3.4, Air.
WIll not work or open on IPad Pro, a Major growing market within the Apple product line.
Game has tons of potential with amazing graphics and amazing gameplay. Problem is, every time you try to open a mission the app crashes. Every time! Please fix this now! We just paid money for this game, we want it to work!
App crashes before you can run a mission every time. Please fix this latest version!
Beautiful, smooth, error free, fast but rewarding upgrades, limited "grinding," excellent sense of speed and scale. A wonderful on rails space shooter. Exactly what we wanted. We hope they add more in the future because we can’t get enough! Controller support is also flawless. Loved this game.
The latest update eliminated our ability to use our controller. Fix it please.
This game is awful. We purchased it after reading the description as similar to star fox and because the graphics looked great. The only reason it gets 2 stars is for the visual effects. Gameplay is terrible. Not even in the same league as STAR FOX. We can barely steer the ship to lock on to enemies. Want our $4 back.
We can’t ever progress beyond the hibernation stage. Game shuts down and won’t save. Waste of money.
5 stars if not for the random crashing that negates any progress made in game.
The best game ever. Thank you developer. Everybody downloaded this game. Fantastic game. During the game we felt like we’re inside a movie.
Need a sequel please. Amazing game.
An amazingly crafted "on the rails" 3D space adveture shooter… Great storyline, great voice acting, gorgeous graphics and excellent MFi controller support! A great and elegant console-like experience on mobile!
This is a really awesome game. Good graphics. Only that the game is a bit short. Also wish this has an appleTV version. Would look even better on the big screen.
Nice work so far. Crashed at the end of a level which was frustrating, but we’re glad to have something that isn’t and endless runner blocky flappy base building stupid ripoff of everything else out there. Fans of Star Fox should give it a go!
No matter how much we dodge we still get shot. Not sure if it’s user error or game error.
Our, but the guardrails are strong with this one!
It’s a shame you can’t actually play this game. Every time you try to start a game the program crashes. Very disappointing to download 500MB just to have it crash before you can play. Splash screen – 5 stars (looks very cool) Menus – 3 stars (nothing fancy, but clean) Game – 0 stars (if you can’t play it, it’s a zero)
We really like this game. It only a 10 levels, but you get to choose your own adventure which changes the gameplay. So you can play it through in different ways many times. Great game. Hopefully they will add more levels and upgrades soon!
This game was fun but there were only ten levels and only about 16 upgrades. We hope this game is new and u are planning to add a lot more we’re just saying people… If u wanna waste $3 on a 1 hour gameplay game, go ahead.
Simple controls, nearly no strategy, the ship flies itself. Would not have gotten even if at $1. Animation and Voice Overs are good.
Great space shooter , amazing graphics , very smooth on our 6 plus. No IAP is just icing on the top. Awesome job devs, keep these types of games coming !
The game has the on rails space fighter gameplay of the Starfox games mixed with the style and attitude of the Mass Effect franchise. The first thing the game teaches you to do is a barrel roll. Visually, the game looks really good on our Ipad 2, so we can imagine it looking even better with the retina display units. Controls are easy and responsive. Voice acting is cheesy. Fun game and worth the price.
The game it’s impressive. Maybe the voice acting it’s not the best, and the story and career its way too short, but it’s an enjoyable game. We love the 3D graphics and now with the new updated graphics, even more! Details are amazing and textures look very sharp and excellent. The only issue we have noticed, it’s in some cutscenes and intense fighting and lighting areas, the frame rate tends to drop and the game lags. We have the latest iOS update and running on a new iPad Air 2. Definitely not hardware but software issue. Thank you so much developers for this gem and hopefully you will listen and fix the graphics glitch and maybe bring new levels or a totally new sequel of this game (free of IAP) in the near future. 5 stars. Recommended!!!
Tiene grficas buenas pero se calienta demasiado.
The ship has a certain smoothness to its movement but there is no deep sense of a good battle or dogfight – gameplay is lacking.
This game had a lot of potential but misses the mark. Unlike Galaxy on Fire, where you have full 3 dimensional control when flying around and a very interesting set of upgradable capabilities, in this game your ship is moved along a pre-determined path and you can simply move around the screen during the fly through. We found myself just swiping all over the place and firing all three main weapons over and over again. The targeting system isn’t intuitive. The story is fairly lame too. Most importantly, we finished this game in a couple hours. Not worth the money at this point.
This game is awful. The story line is bad, the voice acting is okay but not good, It’s has boring gameplay, it’s very short and it has a disappointing ending. Don’t waste your time and money.
Really sharp graphics and some clever dialogue make this a fun little rail shooter. We like the branching choice system, even if the effects of your choices are limited to within the level. Brought us back for a second play through. Did we mention the really sharp graphics? Don’t hesitate to drop a couple bucks on this one.
Pretty cool game. Amazing graphics! Would be better with more ships and the option of accelerometer controls.
This game was okay, but if we could go back and not pay for it, we would have. It’s nice to play a game on the iphone with no in app purchases, but this game lacked personality. We had our shop fully upgraded half wY through the game. It would be nice if the experience was more customizable and each level unique. It felt like a random uncontrollable shooter for most of the game. It tried to be interesting by allowing you to pick a side to fight on but in the end we’re not sure it mattered. This game falls way short. Waste of money in our opinion at it’s current state.
Had same problem with language. We think it defaulted to Russian and can find way to correct.
Defaults to some unknown language. How do we set it for English?
Very nice game has an amazing plot and has astonishing graphics if any one is looking for a game very exciting then this game is for you so our final rating for this game is a 10/10.
Reminds us of the best of star fox, the wit and fast paced action, along with the best of mass effect’s original music. This is a great scifi adventure perfectly calibrated for a tablet device.
At first we were a bit upset about only having partial flight control, but after awhile we began to enjoy the charm of it; The great graphics and scenery help with that. Then we began to get REALY into it and truly enjoyed it more then we ever thought we could at 1st.. Then it was over. Great game devs!!! Wish it was longer though, it really is rather short’n’sweet.
The descriptions in the detail and pictures looks amazing and got us to download this. Let’s hope it has a good storyline…
Great graphics and a lot of fun. Great humor too.
This is how games are done people! This game is excellent! Graphics and control are fantastic, no in app purchase, great game play! This is how games should be done! Worth every penny paid!
It’s a great game with gorgeous graphics and music. Plot is interesting and easy to follow. Control of a starship is intuitive and the game brings a lot of fun. Great job guys!
