    Sky Force: Reloaded was a game that truly surprised me. Despite being several years old, everything feels modern and polished. While it can be challenging, it never deterred me from playing thanks to brilliant design choices that kept me motivated rather than frustrated. It’s an easy game to recommend and one that I see coming back to for a long time to come.

    Sky Force Reloaded is a great game from the arcade times. And now it’s playable on the Switch. Prepare to go in a bullet hell full of challenges. You’ll get the most fun out of it with two players, but the game gives you a fair challenge when playing alone.

    Sky Force Reloaded is a game that perfectly combines old-school shoot 'em ups with innovation. If you like the genre and you want a game that is challenging and adapted to current times, it is without a doubt a very interesting title to keep in mind in the Switch's library.

    I had a great experience playing Sky Force Reloaded, and will keep playing it when I want to be doing something on my Switch that isn’t as big of a commitment of an RPG like Xenoblade. It doesn’t do anything revolutionary for the genre, playing it safe in all regards. It has a lot of content in an enjoyable package. The loop of short, quick play sessions is addicting, and an experience I did not expect to have as much fun with as I did.

    More importantly, the developers did a good job with the color palette of the ship, the background, enemies, and gunfire, so that it’s always easy for the player to keep track of where they are on the screen.

    A brilliant shoot 'em up that harks back to the good old days of video games but with a refreshing modern update. You can jump in for one run and leave five hours later because the game play is so enjoyable.

    Sky Force Reloaded is a great shoot-em-up for the Nintendo Switch, and is enjoyable for the hardened veteran and newbie alike. The intense gameplay and enjoyable progression system just kept me coming back for more, and will provide hours upon hours of enjoyment.

    Sky Force Reloaded may force you to spend time with it and feel like a grind as a result, but for the most part, the time invested is enjoyable.

    Hands down the best spaceship shooter I’ve ever played. The graphics are modern but the gameplay is classic vertical shooter. The upgradeHands down the best spaceship shooter I’ve ever played. The graphics are modern but the gameplay is classic vertical shooter. The upgrade system is not overly complicated either. There is a grind to progress in the story, but I find that fun!!!… Full Review »
