Star Battalion App Review

So far everything that I have played from Game Loft has been nothing but great when it comes to pleasing the customer, well prepare for another great game called Star Battalion. This game made me question which was better Star Fox 64 or Star Battalion and I honestly say that Star Battalion is better and a good bang for your buck. Star Battalion sets you off on a mission to save the innocent and perfect your flying skills.

First off the use of Gyroscope function did wonders for this game, every movement was very responsive and the sensitivity of the accelerometer was comfortably adjustable. There was a few problems I noticed, the game has crashed multiple times when ending a chapter or during loading. There was some lagging going on when there was a lot of action going on. The last problem I noticed was a little strange during some points of the game an enemy ship or a companion would go through an object and on one of the levels a friendly ship just spun in circle aiming down in midair till the next objective. Request timed out is a common message you might get if you are trying to play online threw Game Loft live, no worries though just create a game to play and just wait patiently someone will find you in no time.

You will fight in a squad of three against the enemy who will be well equipped and ready to take you out. As the story progress’s a selection of ships will be given to choose from, each one will be different from the other by shape, size and attributes. Your primary weapon will be the laser gun and secondary is missiles. When using the lasers just press and hold the fire button, for a while I was tapped it a lot which was not too good for the fingers. With the missiles make sure you have a clear curve or a nice straight shot or sometimes the enemy ships will simply dodge them. Switching to the cockpit view may help some when trying to get a perfect shot in, and is very comfortable for me since I like to see play from a more realistic point of view.

The Story line was well done and backed up with an archival information section on the main screen which will be represented by a ship icon. The graphics in this game is beautiful and crisp. Besides the minor hick ups and the often crash this game has a bright future in my book, but the main problem I mentioned held back its overall rating along with a whopping 37% battery consumption. Star Battalion gets a strong 3 out of 5!
