Sky Force Reloaded Reviews
Sky Force Reloaded is everything Sky Force Anniversary was, but bigger and better in every conceivable way. Infinite Dreams has re-imagined the scrolling shooter in inventive and exciting ways. Sky Force Reloaded is the best the series has looked, played, and felt yet. I wish Infinite Dreams would make something in the vein of their mobile series, but only for modern consoles and PCs to give it more depth rather than grind. Now, the grind is manageable, but something that not everyone will enjoy. That said, Sky Force Reloaded is still a lot of fun no matter how little or much you put into it.
Sky Force Reloaded starts the player all souped up, and then strips everything away going into the meat of the game.
A great port of an excellent mobile game. It may not have the longevity of classics, but it's a hell of a blast while it lasts.
I've always enjoyed the genre, and everything in Sky Force Reloaded is solid enough. From a visual, gameplay, and soundtrack standpoint, I'm more than happy. I just can't shake this feeling that the game was designed to kill hours on the phone, and for me it just doesn't translate into a great home console experience.
While it takes a bit to open up, Sky Force Reloaded kicks in nicely once you've got a properly powerful ship and a nice selection of medals to chase after through its wide variety of levels.
Sky Force Reloaded is an excellent shoot ‘em up and represents its lineage with quality. It's a shame that it forces the player to grind excessively but, still, it's a recommendable title for every user, fan of the genre or not. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-ldb4'); });

This is a game that doesn't do anything new, but it takes a classic genre and delivers on it so well that it's hard to fault the lack of innovation. If you have even the slightest interest in shoot 'em ups, this is a game you don't want to miss.
Sky Force Reloaded fully exploits the shoot'em up genre. Destroying the enemies, unlocking new upgrades and coming back to already completed maps on higher difficulty level – all of this is unbelievably satisfying!

Reloaded is a significant step back from last year's Sky Force Anniversary.
Sky Force Reloaded its a worthy representative of a genre as classic as it is rare these days, where titles with realistic graphics and pharaonic budgets take over the sales lists. Addictive, with a more than respectable duration, which will depend on your ability or if you decide to play it in company, and at a price that admits no excuses. Guaranteed purchase.

I've already sank more hours into Sky Force Reloaded than I care to mention, yet I feel like I've still only just scratched its surface.
The grind is real. The grind is great. Sky Force Reloaded is quite possibly the best arcade shmup money can buy.
Though not hugely different from its prequel, Sky Force Anniversary, Sky Force Reloaded nonetheless offers up a compelling slice of vertical scrolling shoot em' up action that both newcomers and fans of the genre will undoubtedly enjoy.
With a solid progression system that means no defeat has to be too punishing and every attempt gets you a little further, Sky Force Reloaded is a 'one more try' shooter. Building up your ship from a pathetic husk to a monstrous killing machine is satisfying and fun, but it's a slight shame that the game is let down at times by bland environments and all too familiar enemy types.
Despite a lot of insane grinding, Sky Force Reloaded is a great porting from mobile to console. If you love shoot 'em ups, you should not miss this game for any reason.

A vertical shoot-em-up that does its best to modernise the genre with an upgrade and progression system. It successfully captures the spirit of older games of its ilk, but the perpetual grind may dissuade many players.
I'm really surprised just how much I enjoyed Sky Force Reloaded, the first time I loaded it up I was playing it for five hours non-stop and at no point was I bored. Adding grind to a shoot 'em up sounds terrible but it's a genius idea to counter the shoot 'em up's traditionally short playtime. By adding the challenges, the act of replaying a level twenty or more times never gets boring. I am now going to bestow on Sky Force the highest honour I can give it: It reminds me of SWIV.
