Wild Blue Skies

Wild Blue Skies é uma verdadeira carta de amor aos clássicos rail shooters dos anos 90, especialmente para quem tem boas lembranças de Star Fox 64. Desde os primeiros minutos, fica evidente qual é a proposta: ação arcade direta, combates aéreos divertidos, rotas alternativas e aquela sensação deliciosa de estar participando de uma grande aventura animada. A jogabilidade é simples de aprender, mas possui espaço para dominar. Desviar de obstáculos, eliminar inimigos, buscar rotas secretas e tentar melhorar o desempenho nas missões torna cada fase bastante rejogável. Os caminhos alternativos são um dos grandes destaques e incentivam o jogador a revisitar as fases para descobrir tudo que o jogo oferece. Visualmente, Wild Blue Skies também é muito bonito. A direção de arte inspirada em anime combina perfeitamente com a proposta, ajuda a criar sua própria identidade visual e os cenários possuem bastante variedade. É impossível ignorar, porém, o quanto o jogo é inspirado em Star Fox 64. Em alguns momentos, a inspiração é tão evidente que pode passar da sensação de homenagem para algo excessivamente familiar. Para quem procura uma experiência completamente original, isso pode incomodar. Mas nem tudo também são flores, apesar de ser muito parecido com StarFox 64, outras coisas falham miseravelmente. Seu esquadrão, por exemplo, é inútil elevado ao quadrado. Eles mais atrapalham do que ajudam e morrem muito facilmente, principalmente nas fases abertas onde o dogfight impera. Os diálogos entre eles são bem "meh" e falta mais aprofundamento na personalidade do esquadrão. A história principal também é bem de fachada e poderia ser melhor trabalhada, mesmo que ficasse de plano de fundo. Resumindo, está muuuuito longe de se equiparar ao fantástico clássico de Nintendo 64, mas é uma boa dose de nostalgia. Wild Blue Skies entrega exatamente aquilo que promete: uma aventura arcade divertida, acessível e nostálgica. Talvez não reinvente o gênero, mas é muito bom ver um estilo de jogo tão pouco explorado atualmente recebendo uma produção moderna e competente. Se você sente saudades de jogos como Star Fox, gosta de shooters sobre trilhos e procura uma experiência curta, direta e altamente rejogável, Wild Blue Skies definitivamente merece uma chance. Nota: 7/10

PLEASE READ. okay so the game great art great, but why would i buy a pt 2 this game copy starfox way to much to a point that every flaw starfox had u had. so NINTENDO explain why they dont want make a new star fox game and you know why? cause they couldnt add anything new. WELL THIS SHOWS ME U GUYS COULDNT EITHER GAMEPLAY OR LORE WISE...... like why didnt you add a 2nd level right after the first that has to be play like linear to that introduce the starwolf team thats something nintendo admit they did wrong so rigth after the first level then starwolf battle level. 2nd why didnt you give the character more in game dialog so we get more lore on character or hell why not give bowie a better more story heavy game like i dont see why i would want to come back to play pt 2 of this game or 3 since well u didnt add anything new to this game it felt like starfox 64 .... one more ideal why didnt u add a simple mechanic shop so inbetween level i can spend money to upgrade my guy or team hell you could of just added skins for the ship and simple level system where i can upgrade team health, and bullet upgrade so the next level i feel more pregssion in game. why you think so many people like rpg or castlevania or even sims cause there something in game where i see progression why you think DOWNWELL fun cause when i fall i get new weapon and upgrades that are more unique that i can actually think and choose. game fun but its nothing new i like it cause i would play here and there but there so much missing, ALSO WHY THEY CALLED BLUE BOMBERS NAME THE TEAM WILDBLUE OR SKIES FORCE you know like the title of the game

Wild Blue Skies is a refreshing addition to the rail-shooter genre that many will inevitably compare to Star Fox, yet it stands confidently on its own with gameplay that simply feels great and art direction that’s impossible not to love. Though the campaign is short, every moment from start to finish is genuinely fun, making it easy to recommend at $15 especially when so many bloated, expensive games fail to deliver half as much enjoyment. Forget the haters; this is one of those rare titles that actually earns your money and leaves you smiling.

I don't really get all the negative comments this game gets, it's a pretty fun game. Controls are crisp, graphics are good, music is adequate. The complaints about originality; one of the OGs who made Star Fox made this game. Duh. Ofcourse there will be some form of nostalgiabait here and there. I guess this is his teams' Palworld. These guys do something for the fans that Nintendo just refuses to do. And whoever cries about originality, I really hope for the sake of your argument you didn't give Nintendo your money for the Star Fox 64 remake then. Or even worse, TotK. Just don't expect a 100% 1on1 clone. It's not as good as SF64 but it's good enough and yeah, it's easy to see where it got its inspiration from. However, there are minor "issues" I have with this game, if I do compare it to Star Fox. When barrel rolling, you can't shoot the laser. There is no summersault. In the 5th stage I think, the one before the last stage, crashed twice on me after destroying the thing in the middle. Maybe that only happens in Linux, not in Windows. I'll have to check. In the end, for 15 bucks, if you can curb your autism, this is worth a try.

Better than Starfox 64. It's actually challenging, and has basic features Starfox lacked (like a save feature).

to be honest. if feels like a rip off version of star fox 64. cons : gameplay is a fourm of copyright, levels design is a forum of copy right, the description acknowledges copy right in fragment by stating " reimagines the classic on-rails adventures of the '90s" (aka star fox nes, star fox 64) the difficulty need to be turned down or creator & devs should add in difficulty changes. pros: names of the characters are it own thing, boss fight are it own thing, enemy's are it own thing. Inspired by a game that Nintendo REFUSES THE LET GO ON CONSOLE & RE MAKE FOR EVERY NINTENDO CONSLOE KNOW TO MAN, BUT WONT RELEASE PC VERSION. we got this. witch is fine wouldn't recommend for people that anger easy, and rage at everything, or people that hate on Nintendo tbh disappointed in how wild blue skies could be better and its own thing, but dev and creators want to reimagine an over rated game and state: reimagines the classic on-rails adventures of the '90s. witch may lead to copyright tbh would be nice to make a entire franchise like this with new kind of ideas that other games don't have. would recommend for hard core gamers. wouldn't recommend for

This game feels like the Star Fox equivalent to Pokemon vs Palworld. I expected that, but I was surprised at HOW close they were inspired. LIke, even character conversations and boss design are heavily inspired. This doesn't bother me at all, I'm an OG fan and I like this too so far. It is shorter in length compared to SF64, both in terms of the overworld map as well as each level's length. If you skip the dialogue scenes you can do a level in just 3-5 min. I actually prefer that, it makes me actually attempt a second run after I died on the last level (or what I assume is the last level according to the initial overworld map). In SF64 I'd probably be done after investing one run. Good: Shorter but faster paced Missions, Ability to save and quit between levels, graphics, mostly smooth flight controls Bad(ish): Fairly traditional unforgiving difficulty- once you lose your lives the run is over. I'm an N64 era gamer so I respect that, but I also recognize the value of having it setup more convenient. Maybe they could make that into a difficulty option or something. No easy way to remap button controls in game. Not a lot of health in each level, if there are extra lives they are hidden. Also a few times I felt the range of motion on screen was limited, like you could not fly as high along the top of the screen as I would have liked. I had 1 glitch with an ice level boss spawning kind of halfway off the bottom of the screen, but it did come back. Sometimes your team members take surprising damage despite you helping them or they not being attacked. Just like SF64, they'll have to sit out the next level. A cool mechanic, but I feel like I lost a couple of teammates for no reason a few times. I hope there is mission select after you beat the game. I guess I better get good and find out. For $15 as a debut MSRP sticker price, I'm way more than satisfied even after 2 hrs.
