FUR Squadron

Not a bad arcade shooter seemingly inspired by the classic Star Fox franchise. While I can appreciate they homage, I'm not a big fan of the wireframe, "synthwave" aesthetic. If you really want to scratch that "Star Fox" itch, this can be considered a more watered down version.

A short StarFox-like game mix with the series' snes-wii u era that acts as a prelude to FUR Squadron Phoenix. Flying is seem more free form than Starfox style, but It got the similiar set up of battle. Controls are best with controller to play. For the small time played It was a nice walk in the park. There also 3 higher levels of difficulty you can try to splice things up for replayability. Alt-tabing also doesn't work, but It's fine for the short gameplay.

Para um jogo que respira STAR FOX e NINTENDO, temos aqui um caso de sucesso, não é fácil pra um estúdio independente estreiar na steam com um jogo com toda essa qualidade, vale a pena, inclusive já tem anuncio e demo de uma sequência ainda melhor, recomendo a todos amantes de video game raiz!

△ There is a scoring system × - Bland wireframe graphics. It feels like it's trying to have the 80's vibe which feels out of place in this game. I feel like they just wanted to save money by not giving this game good graphics. - Soulless storytelling and characters. The VA is just rabbling so you have to read the text while playing to even know what they are saying which takes away from the immersion and makes it unnecessarily harder to play - Gameplay is bland. No speed boost or backflips. You just slowly cruise through the level. - Music is just as bland as the graphics. It's just forgettable and boring. No interesting sound effects. Overall: This game might be okay for like $1. It's way too bland and soulless. Star Fox came out in 1993 with the remake in 1997 and are still way better than this game from 2023. This game is like taking Star Fox and removing many of the things that made it great and just watering it down.

Okay so I'm gonna do a dual review up in this ♥♥♥♥♥ since I replayed this game [i]after[/i] playing all of [i]FUR Squadron Phoenix[/i]. And all things considered I have more positive things to say here compared to the latter. There's not a whole lot to say here though, all things considered. It's diet [i]Star Fox[/i] made by an indie developer. It's got the Arwings, it's got the barrel rolling, the laser shooting, the bombs you fire, etc. If you played the games, you know. The characters seem basic, but there's a bit of a foundation there. Kiro was obviously my favorite; I saw him as a strange version of what would happen if Wolf O'Donnell was working [i]with[/i] Star Fox but had a similar attitude of Falco Lombardi. Axel's cute, and essentially Slippy but more competent. The levels are all very basic--as are the bosses. You shoot the critical areas that glow differently from the other areas on the boss and then they go down. The first three levels were very "meh." But then the plot (what little there is) kicks in with the fourth level and you find out the Skal Empire hacked the VR simulation system and now Blaze and Kiro are stuck. And the hacker starts screwing with the simulation from the inside, screwing up the level design, adding more enemies, and putting in some different, more difficult bosses. And this was the part of the game where I went "OH! I'm kinda liking this now!" This game actually does a few things that not even the mainstream [i]Star Fox[/i] games have done (from what I remember), such as turning the screen upside-down mid-boss fight. There's also one incredible segment in the final level where a boss is chasing [i]you[/i] and you have to dodge incoming fire while your teammate (Kiro) has to take it out. That was amazing for how brief it was! And then right afterwards, you find the source of the hack: some giant sapient praying mantis named General Gryllus. And thus commences [i]four[/i] boss fights in a row--two of which incorporate previous bosses from earlier in the game. For all the issues I have with this game and how bland it was in various area, I thought the finale was quite good. I really enjoyed what this game was setting up for the sequel and how FUR Squadron would take down the Skal Empire and General Gryllus in the real world, and this mysterious emperor he reports to. The game's biggest double-edge sword is how short it is and its lack of different levels or different routes you can take. However, there are multiple difficulties that make the game much more challenging if you want that. So on one hand there's no reason to replay the game except for the challenges, but on the other hand, if you [i]want[/i] the challenges, the game is short, as are the levels, so it isn't aggravating. The steam achievements don't seem to be working though. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game and they still don't work, so eh. Game's seven dollars. That's....high. Considering how short the game is and how the graphics basically amount to VR polygons and wireframe, that's a bit much. I understand the purpose behind it: you make an extended tech demo, charge some money for it, use that money to fund the next bigger and better game! I'm all for that, which is why I'm not being super harsh here. Provided the money gets put to good use. [b]Y’all keep this part in mind when I get to reviewing the sequel.[/b] I really want to leave a "meh" review here but Steam won't let me! :D So I'm just gonna stick with positive for now. This is all gonna seem like major whiplash when I get around to posting my review for the next game. [b]BECAUSE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I HAVE SOME THINGS TO SAY. :D[/b]

BGMが80年代のB級映画みたいで良い。冒頭のストーリー説明を毎回見せられてゲーム開始に時間がかかるのが、ものすごく鬱陶しい（早送りは出来るがそれでも時間が掛かる）。あのせいで起動する気がなくなるので、あの部分はキーの一押しでスキップ出来る様にして欲しい。 BepInEx-Unity.IL2CPP-win-x64-6.0.0-be.735+5fef357とXUnity.AutoTranslator-BepInEx-IL2CPP-5.4.5の組み合わせで日本語に自動翻訳は一応出来ましたが、最初の警告文は完全に翻訳表示されたものの、本編は殆どの文字が□に化けていたので全く実用になりませんでした。

Court mais intense !

Doesn't do a great job of scratching that Star Fox itch. Very basic storyline that doesn't allow for much character development. Mechanically it's okay, but the repetitious stages are boring. Hoping for better out of the sequel and definitely glad I got it on sale.

Had an itch for StarFox64 but this ain't it. Wonky controls. Might give the sequel a shot.

Even at sale price this wasn't worth it, for some reason the game expects you to use the d-pad over the thumb stick as the latter will result in faster aiming. Yeah you could say this would help but because of the fact the cursor snaps back to center this, even with the dpad, results in a huge struggle to aim. The game overall feels like a cheap bootleg at the end of the day which yeah that's what it kinda is but you know it's messed up when another title manages to do this far better.
