    Great value, as I think I got it on sale for under $5 and have put something like a dozen hours into it. Classic Galaga appeal, with slick controls, excellent graphics, and super-fun shooting. Loved the upgrade system, and didn't mind that it started out slow and easy. Difficulty ramps up hard around the 7th level, even when you go back to grind for a while. I eventually got stuck, whichGreat value, as I think I got it on sale for under $5 and have put something like a dozen hours into it.

Difficulty ramps up hard around the 7th level, even when you go back to grind for a while. I eventually got stuck, which felt disappointing -- would have been nice to have an easier entry point to those last couple of levels. But what really kills this one on the Wii U is loading times -- every level takes at least 30 seconds to load, even if you just played the level. Even menus take several seconds to load. If I spent 12 hours on the game, an hour of that was likely looking at the 89% loaded indicator...… Expand

    While Sky Force Anniversary doesn't do much in the way of re-inventing the shoot-em-up genre, it's a testament to just how well this style of game still holds up today. It's addictive, it's satisfying, and it encourages you to hone your skills to score perfect runs across a limited variety of levels. There's a good amount of replayability here as a result, though that doesn't make for a great deal of diversity or exciting set-pieces to look forward to. The mechanics are sound, but feel weighed down by the need to grind in order to progress, along with a serious dose of deja-vu from the environments. Still, at its low price this is a flight well worth taking, even if it only lasts a couple of hours. If you're happy to grind and enjoy a well made shooter, it's a welcome option on the Wii U.

    Sky Force Anniversary may be arriving late and on the Wii U's last days but it still boasts a good gameplay experience as well as an enjoyable cooperative mode. Its rather slow start will be welcomed by less experienced players but longtime shoot'em up fans risk being put off. Overall this is an enjoyable experience, even if its soundtrack will feel too repetitive.
