After having, with the assistance of God and Indila, killed a cussing BLIMP with the ORIGINAL plane, my life is complete. For 4 minutes and 37 seconds this game turned man into legend, how could I give it anything other than a Steam Yes? Do kinda wish they would experiment with some other game modes. It might be fun if there was multiplayer dogfighting or a survival map with a clock that's enclosed by mountains or smth.

--originally played on playstation vita-- i've already spent hours in this game, and felt like buying it on steam when it went on sale. this game is incredibly fun and addicting, the gameplay is smooth and top notch, and once you pick it up, you can never put it back down until you've sunken hundreds of ships and jets, it's insane just how refined this game is compared to its flash-based predecessor. the soundtrack, as well. it adapts with every ship you unlock, making for many, many MANY different combinations. it sounds incredibly good, impactful but subtle effects like the music increasing in volume and echoing when you're almost dead are hard hitting and feel amazing. blasting down enemies makes you feel incredibly powerful along with the music, the pixel art style is simple yet very distinct and optimal for a shoot em up like this. it all feels incredibly designed, and i'd say it's worth the money, even at its regular price.

'Luftrausers' is an entertaining arcade shooter that is a lot of fun due to the numerous variations. The game only requires 5 keys to play. The arrow keys and X. But that's more than enough. Each game lasts a few minutes, or longer depending on how good you are. You play a plane that consists of 3 individual parts that you can change and unlock, which always opens up new possibilities to defeat the hordes of planes and ships, which is the primary goal of the game. Definitely worth buying for a few bucks.

if you for some reason dont have this and you can stomach a bullet hell game done sideways then this is a great game despite age. I can't praise the rough 'bullets everywhere' action enough. Great game to pick up and go even after a long pause. There is always something to aim for with different missions coming up when using different ship combos.

Dec. 2023

S-tier timewaster. Most of the negative reviews are people complaining that the game is too hard or doesn't have a story. Do I care? No. Of course it's hard - it's an arcade style endless fighter... you aren't supposed to "win." And much like other challenging games like Ultrakill, when you get good at this game you will feel like a demon. It's worth a couple hours of grinding, unlocking parts and experimenting. You will eventually find "your Rauser" and that is also satisfying in itself. But yes, it's a very hard game to fully master, which also makes it worth the effort. Not even to mention the freeform soundtrack. Your guns decide the high-end melody, the body changes the supporting instrumentation, and the engine changes the rhythm.... There's just as many songs in this game as there are loadout combos. Fuckin crazy. 11/10 if you left a negative review because the game was too hard you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself how you let your ego get conquered by a Devolver Digital publication.
