Addictive. Graphics is smooth as butter on a Mac Mini M4 (2024 base model).

Love the game and sank hours upon hours into it, on the PS vita. Bet you'll like it too, if you're into the genre. Gameplay like old Arcade or (S)NES Shmups, but with Progress and rewards systems. Run's smooth on nearly everything and works especially great on Handheld. Steam Deck Must have title. Pick it up for next to nothing at nearly every sale, maybe even in a bundle with its successor "Sky Force Reloaded". PS.: The Story is nothing to be excited about, but the boss-characters are super funny and make for great boss-fights!

Sky Force was originally a free-to-play game, and it shows in its addictive reward mechanics that always draw you back for another run. It's an undeniably fun, good looking shoot 'em up that I believe everyone should try!

w game def fun the bosses look like the crazy shi mumbo jumbo would build its fire This game isn't as long as Reloaded but hell yeah this is FIRE I grew up on reloaded and playing this, it feels like the same game but just as fresh! Arachnotron and Nasty Owl are some of the coolest boss designs ever, the bosses are great and fun too. It's fun to get into and generally a great game!

One of the classic vertical shoot 'em up games that's been revamped for the modern systems. Will run on modest hardware, and while it isn't verified, this runs on the Steam Deck without issue. Get the Anniversary & Reloaded bundle at sale. Absolutely worth it.
