This is an onrails shooter that i really recommend picking up, especially with this sale. Great controls, fantastic visuals, decent story.
A little backstory: We journeyed into the stars a long time ago. We have been building battleships for ages, ready for alien intruders. But we never find any. We are alone. So we created a different kind of conflict. Fighting each other became a new way of living until we made one mistake. We built AI to help us discover our doom. No aliens then;-) Yeah, people say it's kinda like Star Fox (which is very flattering).
HA! Cool! I totally - and I absolutely dunno why - missed the game at release! But I love some Starfox-on-the-rails and big-boom-space-battles. Yeah, I asked about aliens because of the strange thing with red lights at the end... looked a bit like a spider's head. But an AI gone rogue is also fine with me! Meanwhile I checked the main thread and saw lots of good impressions. Going to get that today... do bitwy! Idź i wygraj!
The black alien ship reminds me of the shadows from Babylon 5. Here's a link of the IOS discussion since the Android discussion is dead. Does anyone actually buy Android apps? http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=222586&highlight=Star+Horizon

Mess Well-Known Member Jul 17, 2013 1,353 0 0 #12 Mess, Sep 13, 2014 Picked this one up, thanks for the sale! Really enjoying it so far, but am stuck on the escort mission, the 'don't let them destroy 50 crates one' I will make it past, I guess it's just the first challenging level! One thing as a minor critism, the plot seems a bit strange at times Spoiler: Spoiler - destroy a load of mines to help someone out - he then attacks you because his buddy came back and tells him to. The buddy who attacked you previously for no real reason. - you attack his base and are at the point of destroying him when he says 'your not a bad guy after all' or words to that effect. That being said it's a great game for $2 (You must log in or sign up to post here.) Show Ignored Content Share This Page Tweet Your name or email address: Password: Forgot your password?
