Star Horizon

Feels like they should of had an early access cycle to this game as this doesn't feel like a finished product; the game has potential but falls short in a few key areas: Only 16:9 aspect ratio support, no remapping for controls, and aiming is all over the place with an odd auto aiming system were you have to basically line your ship up to what u want to hit but that's only when the camera doesn't move it seems. The upped difficulty from the mobile version seemed rushed/under-tested to me, as there are escort missions and such and once you get to a point of the game where you have to protect cargo containers it seems like you hit a brick wall in difficulty that doesn't seem right, and that is on Normal Mode.

Overally good game, aiming system is a little bit strange at the beggining but when you get used to it, you can have a lot of fun playing this title. Some of the dialogs are kind of annoying and too long, but gameplay and visuals compensate that. What I really like is the speed - you don't have time to get bored. I am not a pro player, so I also found this game kind of challenging. To sum up - nice shooter to unwind for a while after work.

Simple arcade game, but I enjoyed it a lot. Graphics fine for me. Spend some time playing and game wasn't boring. Shooter "on rails" is not my favourite type of game but it is "on rails" so let it be. Plus: - simple and fun arcade game - nice graphics with fine effects - fine music/sound/fx - just brilliant DLC with soundtrack!!! Amazing music I can hear in my car all time long!!! - interesting story behind - nice try to balance level of gameplay - upgrades Minus: - steering ported directly from mobile version, not exactly good for PC game - some places in the game that might be very annoying - not possible to change steering keys through settings which is very difficult because I'm "left handed" - as I read some problems with PADs might occur - you're buying fun only for few hours Overall rating: 7/10 Price/quality: 9/10

Well, the story and idea are nice (though not new, more like a mixture of star wars and mass effect), but the gameplay isn't. While the presentation (vids and screens) suggest you're in control, the ship flies it's own path and you're only able to apply some offset to it to avoid collisions, gun-fire, etc. So it's like a vintage top-down-shooter with a slight idea of 3D. Wouldn't be much of a problem if it wouldn't fly directly into the most stupid places there is for a battle, like in the middle of half a dozen turrets. So if you ever wanted to know what Kamikaze feels like, join the battle! Another point is the targeting system: you can't choose on your own what you shoot at. There's an automated targeting system which selects targets for you. But the algorithm for selection is incomprehensible, eventually selects something in the direction you're heading but often feels like random. So what you'll need is a lot of swarm missiles (multiple missiles shot at once that automatically select all nearest targets). So a fight with many enemies can pretty quickly become frustrating. Success on higher levels is more about luck than skills. Last thing: the story is very short (one short afternoon and you're through the whole stuff for a single decision tree) and its presentation is a bit "low level", just some audio conversation while you look at your current surroundings. So, if it's on sale for a very low price, it's a distraction for a (very) short while if you don't expect too much, but at full price: not worth it.

Welcome to ultimate rip-off. Space battles "on rails" like in Star Wars:The Old Republic with typical story, where main villain possess Terminator personality, quotes Borg collective and have weakness like Death Star. Game for 2 hours,but at least they were not boring. Buy when it will be cheaper. 7/10.

It's a fun casual game. Thought it was gonna be more like Starfox. It's still good though. The aiming is kinda weird, but you just have to fly the ship in the right spot. Some people say the voice acting is cheesy, but I thought it was pretty funny. It's a good price if you get it half off.

Cinematic Space-Adventure Rail Shooter. Play with a mouse. 2-5 hour campaign, depending on player. Price is good at the $5-10 range. Minimal replay value.
