Pros and cons of Star Horizon app for iPhone and iPad

Star Horizon app good for

I couldn’t believe that there are no space-sims on iOS and finally there is a decent first step. The game looks gorgeous, the control concept makes sense and it just feels right to blast enemy into space. The story is alright, but could use a lot more depths and some decent voice actors would also be nice. Just generally, I hope there will be a bigger and deeper Part 2.
Im loving this game! Just tried it out with an AppleTV and it blew me even further away! This is one purchase I didnt have buyers regret over.
This game is an old school style, fast pace star fighter game. Graphics are very good, fluidic controls for smooth and precise flight. You can flip the control so flight stick can be left or right. I enjoy this game. I have yet to beat level 10 but I will some day. This game has a lot of potential and I really hope the developers expand with new ships, weapons, ect... Graphics. - 8/10 Gameplay. - 8/10 Intensity. - 9/10
Fun game. Ive been waiting for a Silpheed-esque game on iOS. This one, although on rails, is pretty darn close. Its gorgeous, and has a fairly gripping plot line. Worth the money.
Great game! A bit short, but really good controls, nice graphics, keeps you in... Hate the tunnels though, controls not fine enough for that.
This is one seriously cool and wicked fun game to play. This aint a time waster. Youll want time to get involved with each level. Ive played each story/level multiple times as the direction can change depending on the option you choose, plus youll do better as you back track and replay older levels as you upgrade your ships. Smokin, slick graphics, smooth controls, cool explosions, great sound with the earbuds in and best of all...NO IN-APP PURCHASES. Hats off, guys. This should be on the App Stores Best list.

Some bad moments

Most original space fighter games for iOS seem to have 1 thing in common, really bad dialog. This game is no exception. Game play is alright but pretty easy. Didnt take me long to max out my upgrades either. Okay play, terrible story/voice acting, easy.
Game is good but you cant play inverted on a controller like the moga or stratus. There is no option to change it. So down is down and up is up... Instead of up is down and down is up. Very crucial for an airplane game.
Very gorgeous graphics, but no clue what the menu is when you die. Perhaps a continue option? No clue. It disappears immediately...
Decided to downgrade my original rating (which was 5 stars) since the game always crashes after the first checkpoint in the "SOS" mission. Its the one where you have to first decide to either join the rebels or stick with the Federation. Im forced to restart this already hard mission from scratch... Also voice acting is laughable can be very weak! Otherwise I still generally like the game. I downloaded it based on the app store images; never heard of it before then. The visuals in this game are truly amazing! The graphics will blow you away - especially on an iPad Air. Many years ago I loved the visuals in X-Wing games (LucasArts) and since then have been trying to find a space sim that has that same visual impact - and this has it and more since its a modern game. I really like the massive scale of the larger vessels and planets compared to my ship. Few (no) space games ever seem to get that right. This game does! Explosions are the best in any ios game. This game marks a huge leap forward!!
Star Horizon looked really good, and I was looking forward to playing it on my phone. However the game crashes on loading every single time and is totally and completely unplayable. I have an IPhone 4s, the description clearly states that this game should work on my phone. I will remove this review of the developer returns my money.
Game is really short and it am sit wants to be a galaxy on fire but fails miserably.
