    Rigid Force Alpha is a good kind of throwback. It may look and sound modern, but it has a good grasp of what made some classic shooters become evergreen entries for fans. It has a good spread of weapons, and the difficulty feels fair as long as you're good with its limits. It may not be able to construct a good story or present much that would be considered unique to the genre, but those who crave old-school sensibilities will enjoy Rigid Force Alpha if they have the patience to get through some initial booting issues.

    Rigid Force Alpha doesn’t commit any cardinal shmup sins, but it doesn’t stand out either. Those looking for the next Gradius or R-Type will find comfort in its familiarity, but the whole experience does not leave a lasting impression.

    A worthy indie Shoot'em Up that will be especially enjoyable for Irem fans.

    Despite being functionally solid and enjoyable, Rigid Force Alpha's lack of identity is very apparent.

Facente parte dei giochi che richiede grande abilità e colpo d'occhio magari non è adatto ai giocatori più moderni, ma comunque promette tanto divertimento a chiunque adori le vere sfide. Assolutamente consigliato per trascorrere anche qualche oretta di puro relax senza altri pensieri. Un plauso ai programmatori e al mercato degli Indie che ci regala queste belle soddisfazioni.

If you liked playing Gradius or R-Type but are bored of always seeing the same like in the 10th port of old R-Type games, this one is for you.

    The levels are nicely made and a pleasure to look at (there must have been a lot of work put into them), story and cutscenes are entertaining too and the soundtrack is a blast! If you are a kid of the 80s, you should buy this game only for being able to listen to this classic 80s sound! :)

    All in all, Rigid Force Alpha is fun for many hours, with story and classic arcade and also boss rush mode always challenging you to beat your own highscore and improve your position in the leaderboards again and again.    … Full Review »
