  • Summary: A struggle between the Inter Galactic Corporation (a.k.a The Federation), which controls the entire galaxy, and the Rebels continues. You assume the role of John, a simple private space-pilot in the service of the Federation. Well... the word "pilot" might be an overstatement. John's ship AIA struggle between the Inter Galactic Corporation (a.k.a The Federation), which controls the entire galaxy, and the Rebels continues. You assume the role of John, a simple private space-pilot in the service of the Federation. Well... the word "pilot" might be an overstatement. John's ship AI - which he calls "Ellie" - takes almost all control of the ship. The space battles are coordinated by Motherships and "pilots" serve the mere role of the shooters (as the AI can't 'kill').

    IGC is about to turn the tide of the war but an accident happens. Your Mothership is blown up into pieces which makes Ellie go crazy. It puts John into hibernation and wakes him up several years later in a completely different setting. What really happened? What is the AI up to?

    Will the two - John and Ellie - change the fate of the Universe?

    Experience fast action, thrilling levels, spectacular explosions and lots of pew-pew-pew. Star Horizon is a reboot for the on-rails space shooter genre.    … Expand

    Lost in Space? Nothing helps to solve that problem like a fully-armed space vessel.

    A decent modern reimagining of an on-rails arcade shooter, Star Horizon is a fiery and fitting tribute the likes of Afterburner and Starfox.

    It's an impressive hour and a half, particularly for your eyes, but I'm not sure if that's going to be enough for most.

    Star Horizon is a tightly responsive, beautiful action shooter throwback with only a few issues—namely the bland story and short playtime—holding it back from being a mobile classic.

    A great-looking sci-fi shooter that sacrifices depth in order to play out a particularly cinematic brand of space battle.
