It’s worth pointing out that you don’t get any extra lives, meaning that if you die in the game you’ll need to go straight back to the beginning. The rate of stars you get on a typical run usually covers the cost of a single, which sits quite well with the amount that’s on offer.
Stars will go towards a wide range of different unlocks, such as extra health, additional firepower, and other helpful titbits. Sky Force Reloaded does a good job at making you feel as though you’re progressing at a fair pace.
The meat of the matter however is those all important stars, because you’ll be collecting enough of these to make Mario envious. Mercifully there’s more incentive to replay completed stages outside of earning more stars, thanks to the implementation of challenges you can undertake. This almost forces you to go back and replay older levels to stay on-par with the difficulty of the game. The difficulty curve is far from lenient or generous, with each level you acquaint yourself with often proving to be massively harder than the last. Enemies will drop stars that can be picked up to then spend on upgrades for your ship, which is somewhat of a priority and certainly something the game makes you aware of quite swiftly. You simply navigate the screen from a top-down perspective, blasting any foe that enters your field of view – be it on ground or in the air. The gameplay is as straight forward as can be. Still, despite a few shortcomings Sky Force Reloaded is a surprisingly addictive top-down shooter that will keep you engaged and entertained for hours on end. It’s a clever way of showcasing what you could be if you put in the effort and time, but boy is it a slap in the face to go from hero to zero at the drop of a hat. Much like that comparison title, Reloaded starts you out as an overpowered flying T-101 killing machine before stripping all of those powers away and having you start out from scratch. Sky Force Anniversary is a decent shooter that’s slightly let down by some questionable design choices, and sadly the same can be said about Sky Force Reloaded. Sky Force Reloaded walks a similar path to Sky Force Anniversary, and if you have played that title, you’ll have a pretty good idea as to what to expect with Reloaded.
