If you can stand the grind, Sky Force Anniversary is great for fans of the classic shooter style. The pacing is done well, and the upgrade system gives you something to work for, even in death. The medals provide an incentive to aim for perfection, but their forced nature will turn off a few players. Sky Force Anniversary is worth checking out.

Sky Force Anniversary is a shoot’em up of the old days, with everything that it entails, but with a fresh look. It will please the nostalgic players and it will be a challenge for the rookies.

Today's gamer generally needs concrete objectives to work towards. Sky Force Anniversary hits the mark because it has a fun upgrade system and loads of objectives to complete on every level. You can still play for score, doing your best on the highest difficulty levels and/or participating in the weekly tournaments. Whatever the case, you won't find many shmups with more universal staying power than Sky Force.

It is a phenomenal example of what the genre of shmups is supposed to be and what an indie developer can accomplish. The visuals are stunning, the OST is excellent, there is a lot of content with variety including co-op making the VFM amazing and the gameplay experience one of a kind.

Oh merde, on se croirait revenu au temps de Galaga avec la musique Bontempi qui va pas... et pourtant il s'agit de la version "Anniversary", comme si on devait fêter l'anniversaire de cette petite daube scrollante en 2D ! non mais allo quoi, on est au 21ème siècle, laissez les **** up là ils sont : dans le vide-ordures. Donc, avec le petit vaisseau qui fait piou-piou, on dégomme des tas de trucs qui veulent vous tuer (toute cette violence, quelle horreur) mais ça va prendre du temps parce que le piou-piou de base, il faut l'améliorer en recommençant chaque niveau des dizaines de fois. Autant dire qu'au bout de deux fois, on en a déjà marre mais le jeu bricolé par des manches en a decidé ainsi : tu vas limer le machin jusqu'à l'intox. Tu parles d'une durée de vie...!

Infinite Dreams has done a great job providing quality entertainment that will literally make any extra time you thought you had disappear.

Sky Force Anniversary blends a classic formula with modern-day visuals and social interactions. It's a wonderfuly simplistic game with solid gameplay and while it does get repetitive and frustrating at times, you keep coming back to play some more.

It's not the best shoot 'em up available, but it's definitely a really good one. Enjoyable and challenging, it's a great option.

Sky Force Anniversary is a polished and slick shoot 'em up but for a solo player it's more miss than a hit. It's really nothing special and there are more flashy games in the same genre available. If you have a friend to play the local co-op with the Sky Force Anniversary is more rewarding experience. Still I would have preferred the classic way of doing shooters instead of a grind festival which makes more sense in the mobile market due to the micro transactions easing up the way for the more impatient players.
