Really cool game. Smooth gameplay, graphics, and sound. Plenty of challenges and ways to get coins, hand, upgrades, etc. One complaint though is the power ups selection. This game offers “random” power ups as you collect gems for defeating enemies during waves/rounds. Some power ups are quite useful - vital even - for advancing through chapters, while others, not so much. Some of these vital ones are wingman assistance, blade light, and reflection shield. I’ve noticed that when on a stage that hasn’t been completed, the “random” power ups become a lot less “random”, insofar as; the aforementioned power ups almost never show up. This forces one to have to either, level up and upgrade the fighter (at least three times, or more), or purchase new fighters, upgraded, etc. This does not happen on stages that have already been completed. As a matter of fact: it seems as though the most useful ones “randomly” pop up on previously defeated stages in excess. For example: I’m on stage 15, and rarely, if ever see at least one of the power ups mentioned (and there are more), but they seem to appear at almost every opportunity on all the previously completed ones. It doesn’t completely ruin the game for me, yet it is rather frustrating. One WILL NOT advance through the latter stages without getting a new fighter with as many upgrades as possible AND good combinations of power ups... in other words... the power ups provided intermittently throughout the stages are paramount... if you want get far in the game. Still great game overall. The graphics, gameplay, and challenge are quite enough to get one addicted, as I’ve become!

Reducing the amount of gold obtainable by purchasing a pack with 200 gems by over 1/3 of what it used to buy you can’t be seen as anything other than a cash grab to make gold more scarce. Not only that but gold and the gems you use to level up your planes amongst other items were all drastically reduced in availability when trying to grind for them in the levels without paying… leaving a player forced with either grinding for hours, days, and even weeks… or forking up $$ to get it through the shop. Don’t get me wrong - if they were to check my account, I am in the top ten power of all players and I guarantee at very least the top ten of their players in how much real world $$ has been spent on their game. I don’t even want to think about it, but I know if they look it up they can see how much they will be losing. I have no problem paying for a game that does it right - not for devs that come out with an update that literally provides no content other than to “rebalance” the payouts of the in game currency. I have let both of my monthly vip cards lapse and will not be spending another dime on the game. Way to provide updates that try to squeeze whatever you can from your already high paying players.

Since you don’t allow your paying customers to contact you, this is the only way I am able to ask you a question. Can you please stop rigging this game? I know you will say you don’t do that, but the evidence is overwhelming proving that you do. I’ve been on level 15 for over a week now, and haven’t made any progress. I have the strongest plane, and have upgraded it to 51. Since starting level 15, I’ve upgraded it 11 times, and it hasn’t made the slightest impact what so ever. I’ve upgraded all my other equipment many many times as well, and once again it hasn’t made the slightest difference in being able to beat this level. Why make a game if you don’t want your customers to advance in it? All I’m asking for is fair play, and I really shouldn’t be having to ask the owners of this game for that. In previous levels, you’ve made sure that I’ve played those levels 40, 50, 60 times, and this level I’ve doubled those attempts. Or do I have to purchase one of your ridiculously expensive planes for $50 just in order to advance?!? That’s just absurd. This game has potential to be really awesome, but you continue to try making it a Pay2Play type game which only discourages people from wanting to play it.

This game is very pretty and fun. I was very into it and had planned to grind away and complete it, however, the latest update is a very clear cash grab and shift of priorities for the devs. Levels I used to clear easily as part of my daily grind are now much harder and sometimes unbeatable with the same equipment I had pre-update. Even after a few upgrades the same levels are still very difficult. It seems as though they have buffed all the enemies. Also, there used to be a few optional ads, but now ads are EVERYWHERE and unavoidable to complete daily tasks. Also, they have increased the amount of energy it takes for every mode forcing you to buy energy to play or spend gems. I can’t in good conscience recommend this game as the devs took a good, solid game and turned it into a blatant cash grab. I was willing to overlook the little issues (unintelligible descriptions in the game, lack of help resources, botched English translations, etc.) but now it’s just too much. I’ll be deleting the game once they stop giving extra energy in the daily mailbox. Too bad.

Ok, I know this game is advertised in the “Roguelike” genre, but it’s pretty much a piggy back off of Archero’s concept. Some might even call this a “clone” of Archero. But, we won’t listen to those people, because they’re stupid.Although there are blatantly obvious Archero-like features, this game is in a class, all it’s own. And I tip my hat to the team who made it. Actually, I think this is a much better way of using that concept.For starters, the “juice” (or visual effects, for all you non-game devs reading this) is amazing! So very well done. The visuals are one of the main elements that keep my retention rate high. Those particle fx when a boss explodes... I can’t get enough. The gameplay is outstanding, as well. The smoothness of the players movement is on point, and the randomness of enemy movement is on par with some of the most popular AAA titles available. The rewards system, and in-game power ups are placed perfectly, in all the right spots. It keeps you engaged during the entire experience. It’s exciting to keep guessing what my next upgrade will be. I’m no professional critic, but personally, this game gets a 5 out of 5 from me. And I’m willing to bet that it will be quite a long while before get bored of it and move on to something else.Keep up the great work!!!

Everything about the game is awesome. I’m a free to play player and don’t mind watching ads for them to make revenue. Specially if I’m not paying for the subscriptions. The one thing I don’t like is the daily tasks. There one that asked you to buy one epic chest. You can’t do that unless you buy 300 gems. So for a free to play player is impossible. Other games have similar daily task but make it to where you can still complete the daily task even if you’re a free to play player. I feel like that one specific task should be change to the normal chest.UPDATE: the developer responded and said they work on something for free to play players. I’m very impressed by their respond and I’m very happy when developers listen to fans! Thank y’all!! Loving the game.

I absolutely love this game, this game saves your time by you keep purchasing their time limited daily, weekly, and monthly packages. So I was able to catch those old free to play or small whales who played for 1 year in less than 2 months. Now they are adding exclusive very powerful equipment that you can only acquire from the battle pass, and you have to keep buy every 2 weeks when it resets to upgrade its tier. Also they just added a bunch of new items you can only acquire from chests that you can open with keys included in packages or using in-app currencies that you buy with cash. I see lots of players complain in their FB page, group, and discord, but I disagree with this just like this game's developers. Because this game has a daily PVP event, and I can absolutely crush everyone with my wallet. I don't have skills, but I can feel myself like a king in this game by spending about $3,000 a month. You may download and try, but be ready to get crushed by p2w players that are waiting you to join PVP. You may say you will skip, but you can't avoid since this is the only source where you can acquire certain equipment parts and shards. The only complain that I have is cheaters. There are absolutely full of cheaters, and players have to report one by one on discord and FB group page to ask devs to remove them. No matter how much I P2W, I can't beat cheaters because they instantly get best equips in day 1 every update. Imagine I spent $100,000, and lose to $0 spent cheaters in this Pay To Win game. Do device ban on cheaters, otherwise, I see they comeback with new acc with very similar nickname.

EDIT : due to a very quick developer response and offer for compensation, I am bringing my rating up for a 5* rating, since the only issue I had has now been resolved!I’ve been screwed out of 400 gems from clicking to spend 100 and another 300, then the game says there’s some sort of data error on anything I click. So I restart the app and my gems are gone but I haven’t received what I paid for. This is SUPER upsetting. If this wasn’t an issue, I’d give 5 stars. But this is why I wait before I rate. This makes me not want to play the game at all, regardless of how fun it was at first.

I like shmups. I don't like shmups on mobile very much, though. Going from PC (or console) and an arcade stick to a small phone screen and ones fingy isn't especially fun. Some mobile shmups are alright and this is one of them. The presentation is nice; while the backgrounds are repetitive with no real set pieces, they look clean and pleasant. Ship design is pleasing, overall, as are the effects and the character designs.Gameplay is also quite fun! As a plain shmup, it does a lot of things correctly. The speed feels right for a mobile game. The bullet patterns range from bog standard to rather interesting. Enemy design is pretty cool, too, with lots of variation in both appearance and attacks. The RPG elements are also very fun. I like being able to equip my ship and to grow and progress. Pausing gameplay every few seconds to level up is annoying; I'd much rather that be done between missions. While there are many shmup fans who would say that the inclusion of this type of progression isn't especially shmuppy, it's still nice.The problem is monetization.I would love, love, love to see a game like this without all the mobile nonsense. I realize this game was made by a studio of real developers who have real financial needs, but in general I have a distaste for all the ads, the various and confusing currencies, screen after screen of game passes and dailies and login bonuses that seem to be mostly meant to confuse rather than help. Especially when you lose and the game teases you by letting you try out one of the better (and more expensive) ships, it starts to feel a bit manipulative. And while I haven't played for an especially long time, I don't see a way to earn bigger and better ships in a reasonable amount of time without paying.So the core gameplay is good if you like STGs, but the monetization is nightmarish. You'll never get that cool ship without forking over some money.

There hasn't been any new content since chapter 12-15. Just reskins. Upgraded equipment is all we got and even that needs more tuning to feel more rewarding. No new talents, no new enemies, no new abilities, no new events, no new planes outside of an absurdly overpriced paid one and that leaves an update that is about as lackluster as you can get. This game is a grindfest like any other pay to win app game. It was great when it started but as a day 1 player it's been nothing but downhill since. A proper shmup has a sense of accomplishment. Now they just throw insurmountable unreactable bullets at you with little regard to pattern or consistency. The waves are covered in healbots and the only way to progress is to hit the rng lottery and get recovery with reflectionshield. Avoid this game.
