Sky Force Reloaded is a wonderfully polished bullet hell game where we blow up enemies while swerving through a barrage of bullets.
popcar · Jun 20, 2020 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewSky Force Reloaded is a really fun arcade, shooter that looks great on the Nintendo Switch. If you’re looking for a challenge or something to make you feel nostalgic check it out!
Kaelyn Daugherty · Feb 10, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewWith Sky Force Reloaded, despite not necessarily bringing anything revolutionary to the traditional arcade shooter, the many collectable systems in place somewhat reflect the special hook that made this genre so addictively popular in the first place. It all feels very well put together and equally hard to put down, even though the thought of the grind did initially put me off. Some may still feel that the progression system in place can be on the slow side, especially for those that just want to trail through it as quickly as possible.
Darren Palma · Feb 01, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewSky Force Reloaded may force you to spend time with it and feel like a grind as a result, but for the most part, the time invested is enjoyable.
Dave Frear · Feb 01, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThere’s a legitimately interesting and enjoyable top-down shooter experience present in Sky Force Reloaded, but it’s tainted by an overall package that still has far too many connections to its free-to-play origins. Those longing for a game that’ll last for a while will find the most enjoyment here, but most others may find progression to be a total slog.
Mollie L Patterson · Feb 01, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewMost people that devote time to leveling up should be able to finish the game on the standard difficulty, but beating it on insane requires plenty of skill. I enjoyed almost every run – both in single-player and local co-op. Having a friend at your side helps in farming and taking down harder stages, but also creates more chaos to decipher. Sky Force is a long-running series, but this is the first entry that truly hooked me and made me want to play more just to see how ridiculously overpowered my ship could become.
Andrew Reiner · Jan 18, 2018 Reviewed on XB1It’s a little sad when the best thing you can say about a game is that it’s well-made. At this point, video games need to do something unique in order to justify their existence, and unfortunately, Sky Force Reloaded does not. Rescues and level subgoals add a lot of additional meat and challenge, but this is a very simple shmup. There is no interesting key gameplay mechanic, no waves of bullet hell, no fast speeds, and no interesting setting.
Stephan Adamus · Dec 15, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewI’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.
Justin Celani · Dec 08, 2017 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewThere’s a lot to chase after with all the pickups, powerups and bonus goodies Sky Force Reloaded throws at you, all attainable by a good combination of patience and skill. The quest to take down Scarlett Mantis and her array of multi-stage bosses is one that will take several hours of happy shooting, getting a bit stronger on each new attempt and setting the screen on fire with the broken shrapnel of downed enemies until they manage to do the same to you.
James Cunningham · Dec 07, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewSky Force Reloaded is easy to pick up, hard to put down, and even harder to master. With a vast portion of collectables, upgrades and power-ups to chase after, this game will easily have you coming back for that proverbial one last attempt, time and time again. If you enjoy top-down shooters, Reloaded is far from the best, but it’s still an addition to the genre that fans wont want to pass on.

Warning: this game is very addicting. A modern interpretation of the classic shoot’em up. Beautiful graphics, 1080p and 60fps in docked mode, excellent controls and interesting upgrade system. The game is designed so it forces you to replay levels and complete multiple objectives in each level. This way you earn sufficient stars to upgrade your ship as the levels get progressively harder. The best shoot’em up I played in over a decade. If you like this genre, pick it up. Also a great game for couch coop. This is one of those games that has you saying “ok one more run” and before you know it 5 hours have passed. Really enjoying this one! For less than 10 bucks, this is a steal that will give you countless hours of fun.
