    Rescues and level subgoals add a lot of additional meat and challenge, but this is a very simple shmup. There is no interesting key gameplay mechanic, no waves of bullet hell, no fast speeds, and no interesting setting. In a world where Bug Princess is 13 years old, Ikaruga is 16 years old, and 1942 is 33 years old, there is absolutely no reason to play a shmup so basic.

    Sky Force makes me think of how fun arcade games used to be, it’s like a modern 1943 with all you would expect. The gameplay just aboutSky Force makes me think of how fun arcade games used to be, it’s like a modern 1943 with all you would expect. The gameplay just about flawless in terms of control, depth and replay ability. This shooter isn’t easy, but it is rewarding and incredibly fun. Equally smooth and brutal, if you die it’s because of you and you will die quite a bit. These guys added a bunch of cool new stuff to hunt down, new planes, parts, cards some are timed which increases the urgency. Genius. Co op is awesome. Best 10 bucks Ive dropped on the PlayStation store. Full Review »
