Doesn't really have anything special about it, the performance on Nintendo Switch is abysmal, but, it is indeed highly addictive and got me to stay with it until the very end.

Astro Flame: Starfighter is the most mediocre shmup I've ever played, as it has nothing to highlight since it performs poorly within the genre, engaging the player with standard mechanics (upgrade the ship, destroy enemies, reveal power-ups, etc.).

That said, the short duration (4 hours for 15 levels and 3 difficulty levels) and lack of other modes, along with uninspired graphics and occasionally poor performance in chaotic scenarios, snatch away any possible replayability.

I'm not a fan of "beating the same drum", but scenario repetition in levels and enemy variety don't help. It also fails in ship control, being either too fast or too slow, with no way to adjust its speed smoothly.

In summary, Astro Flame: Starfighter is only recommended if cheaper, as otherwise, it doesn't deserve our time.
