FUR Squadron

Can beat the game in under an hour, but it has harder modes/challenges available. Definitely want to check out the sequel, Phoenix!

FUR Squadron é um ótimo jogo para fans de longa data de Starfox, o jogo conta com uma gameplay que funciona muito bem, possui uma campanha curta porém você certamente vai querer jogar o jogos nas 3 dificuldades disponíveis, gráficos honestos e arte bem pensada faz com que o jogo rode muito bem na grande maioria dos hardwares.

A fun nod to Star Fox, though feels a bit limited at times with what it could do. The game takes place in a virtual reality setting, which is a neat approach by giving the stages and enemies a wire frame design. The character interactions is a nice touch, being a homage to the older Star Fox titles The controls feel a bit tacked on ,but takes some getting used to. My main criticism is that the game does feel a bit short. You could roughly finish the whole game in about an hour. However there are additional features recently added in the latest update to enhance the replay value. the soundtrack is very unique and enjoyable. Overall the game is fun for what it is, though it feels like a proof of concept that requires more depth and polish. Love to see this improved upon in future titles. It has a lot of potential.

A fun on rails space shooter that captures a lot of the charm of Star Fox. I went in without really knowing what to expect, and it was a delight. Controls felt sold, graphics were nice, the characters were fun (I appreciated the comment about barrel vs aileron rolls), and the difficulty curve (at least one the basic difficulty) felt fair. The game isn't that long (there are only six stages), but it's priced reasonably, and there are options to use different ships in subsequent runs. And the music was excellent!

So I'm pretty mixed on this game, but I would say I overall enjoyed it but there are certainly some faults with it. The game is obviously very inspired by Starfox games, particularly 64 which is totally fine, I love those games. But how well does this game compare. I'll start with the things I enjoyed. Firstly the controls felt very fluid, it never felt like I was against the game which is great. Like if you are wanting a more modern Starfox Game, then controls wise this has gotten a good feel. There are also a lot of set pieces within this game that are really cool. Some of these have spoilers so I will tag them [spoiler] But I love the part where you are running away from the big boss and your teammate Kiro beats the boss. And the flip on the controls in the one boss was fun, I also love the glitchy asthetic of the levels once it gets into that. [/spoiler] A really fun twist on a classic formula. And also visually I enjoyed it, very Snythwave and simplistic but it works well But let's talk about the negatives. The biggest one for me is the cast and there is a couple issues with it. The first one is I don't like the lack of voice acting. In the options there is an option for voices, which is genuinely a great option to have, but I was disappointed to learn that the "voices" in question are akin to that of Animalese from Animal Crossing and not actually Voice Acting. I think this is especially a problem because the visuals in this game are so vidid and arguably a lot, that I can't read what the characters are saying most of the time. The other issue I have is just writing wise they come off as a bit bland unfortunately. They are clearly inspired by Fox, Falco and Slippy respectively but they lack the charm that the originals come with. Which is a shame because reading the character descriptions below on this very steam page, it shows that these characters actually have a lot more going on than being bland versions of already beloved characters, but at least in this game, they don't go into any of this sadly. For example, I only just learnt reading that Kiro has a broken wing and has used this medium to continue his dream. That's genuinely a cool character concept but I should be able to see this within the game itself, not the store page. I also wasn't a fan of the fact that it would automatically jump between the levels with no pause (apart from a loading screen) or confirmation to continue. Although this could be because the game is sadly pretty short. To be fair Starfox itself isn't exactly long and this is an indie game so I won't badger on. But a playthrough with no fails is only about 30 mins if that is an important point for yall (personally I think it's fine for a fun indie game) I was also excited once I beat the game [spoiler] To find out that you played as Kiro, maybe getting to do the boss that he fought and a few new lines of dialogue, but sadly it is only visual, you are still Blaze [/spoiler] I'm not gonna mark any points down because of this but I would love to see this actually be a true feature in the sequel For other things I would love to see in a sequel, I would appreciate it if there were an option to hold down the regular beam to spam it. I know this isn't how Starfox works but it was cramping my hand a bit to spam (can make the charge shot on another button, only X and A were in use, still has Y and B free) Overall I still very much enjoyed the game even if it were short, I will definitely try to beat the game on the higher difficulties to get the achievements. This is showing to be a great building block for the sequel which I am excited for. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a short classic on rails game

Tough one. I really like the characters and gameplay design. The visuals are also nice and well executed. I went in and thought, okay its a training level and then it was already over. No kidding; the whole game i thought okay its a nice start, wait for the full battle! This will be great once this vector thing is over.... and then, BAM End Credits. I really hope that the team behind this will make a proper full game one day. You got some talented people there and a rough gem that begs for a proper sequel. As for now, buy it on sale and have about 30 Minutes of really good gameplay.

It's short but fun. Try it!

Well, to start with the negatives it is a very short and simple game, more a teaser or intro for its upcoming sequel. And given that it is best bought on sale Having said that, it is a fun starfox type game and I enjoyed playing it. So worth it for starfox fans

6/10 I mean.. it's ok. I like that they changed the graphics so it's not just another bad attempt at making starfox and failing because the gfx just end up looking modernised but yet too simple (i love retro games and their graphics, I don't like when some modern indie games try to replicate it and they just end up looking like cheap modern games instead. There's a difference and some games manage to pull it off. Check Parking Garage Rally Circuit for an excellent example of them getting it right.) The sequel to this game does look really promising though, I'll be keeping an eye on it. As it stands, this game was ok. it took 40 mins or so to beat. it was somewhat entertaining but only for a huge sale.

This game is a short spiritual sequel to Starfox 64. I really enjoyed it. Played it three times through all difficulties. Set up a turbo button because my hand was cramping. Game is good. Played it on steamdeck.
