I bought this BEFORE it was free... so I am kind of annoyed that it is free now which means the one card I got is the only one I will ever get... it also disappears from my library every time I switch computers because that's how free games work... Seriously devs, if you want to make your game free, don't screw the people who already paid for it. That being said however, a very decent little game that is free to try.
I've been playing this game for a few days at this point, and here's my first impression after finishing the main campaign (with the alt. ending). PROS: -Game adjusts to your movement style -Controls are easy to change -Extreme customizability (main wings, tail wings, guns, body, and skins for each of those) -Decent framerate (with more than 4GB memory) -Aerial AND underwater fightin?! AT THE SAME TIME?! -Decent plot for single player -Option for Single player and multiplayer (although I haven't tried multi yet) -You can replay missions any number of times -The developer is very kind and has quickly replied to (at least my) concerns (bugs and the like), and is generally a very nice person in my experience. -The game is pretty challenging, which is good because that means that it takes that much longer for you to finish teh campaign CONS: -It can take a bit for the game to adjust to your style -If you're dealing with a lot of enemies, your FPS can drop from a relatively smooth 30-45FPS to 7-15FPS -Some of the ships are quite expensive (they're worth it tho) -The main campaign is a little bit on the short side RATING: a solid 8.5/10. Very good game, with support easily within 24hrs (dev contacted me within like 5 or 6 hrs). Controls are easy to learn, the fighting style is fast-paced and will leave you on the edge of your seat with your butt clenched tighter than it's ever been clenched before (trust me, your mom said so ;) ).
