    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 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.… Expand

    Finished game first on Android and now on PS4 on nightmare and can say only that its perfect in design and gameplay. For 10$ its a bargain, must have space shooter for PS4. Coop mode added more fun to its gameplay. 10/10

    I do love those well crafted 'tiny' games with simple mechanics and well working upgrade structures up to the very end! And I've had more fun and entertainment with this little shooter compared to those newest Tomb Raider or other AAA-Games installments polished for a wide (dumb) audience.

    It runs flawless, perfectly tuned over and over again.

    Looking at the COGconnected's review, I can say that they have played this game for only 5 minutes before shutting it off on Level 2. There are four levels of difficulty, and beating the whole game on Normal won't be hard. Don't expect any Ikaruga on Insane or Nightmare difficulties, but this game won't let your fingers rest.

Difficulty aside, given the fact that this game is a phone game port, it's visually stunning, especially on smartphones. Oh, and it's not that comfortable to hold your phone when it's close to 60°C after 15 minutes of playing. The music is awesome, and the fans of Chiptune genre will love it. If you're not sure whether to buy this game or not, give it a try on your phone for free, because having your own opinion is always better.… Expand

    Good Game. Motivation high to play to get some Power Ups. Difficult Levels and it will get harder and harder. U can play it just for 5 Minutes to have fun but aware this could extend to hours :-)

    it was pretty cool already it on Android ( still stuck at LV13) - as an oldschool shmups player I prefer the gamepad controls, so I was stocked to see the game today on the PSN Store for 7.99. After a couple of rounds and upgrading the ship - I would say it looks even more awesome on the PS4. Update = the latest PS patch fixed the missing Digitalcontroll. 10/10.

    I love this game, one of my favourite indies. If you like arcade shooters from back in the day, you'll like this modern version. Bought this straight away after enjoying sky force anniversary(this has a few more features). It can be a bit grindy replaying levels to get enough stars to upgrade ship, but it's a fun grind rather than frustrating.

    Sky Force Reloaded is a solid if unremarkable vertical shoot'em up, that capitalizes on the absence of similar titles on both Microsoft and Sony marketplaces. We had fun with it, especially with a friend locally, but that doesn't mean it is perfect. Still, a reasonable choice for fans of the genre.

    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 Reloaded is a pleasant surprise. It's a slightly repetitive, but always challenging experience that impresses with an unconventional progression system. Fans of Resogun need not doubt.
