Un shoot 'em up arcadoso con diversidad de estilos de juego y un gran planteamiento de modernización para una fórmula retro. Un indie que, entiendo, causó furor hace una década. Sin embargo, hoy en día, con la consolidación de estas prácticas de revalorización, no resulta tan significativo.

A falsework more than a game. If only Vlambeer had more imagination.

amazing arcade shooter, gets so chaotic and difficult but keeps you hooked with lots of charm and heaps of customization

Crazy music and addicting loop. You can't go wrong by playing it.

Really cool arcade style pilot fighter game.


i have unlocked everything there is to unlock in this game and i still have no idea how the movement works at all. good as hell though i'm not a plane shooter person, that speaks to this game's efficacy though.

While theres quite a lot to like about Luftrausers in its complete arcade mentality, it just suffers from being balls-difficult and having very little in the way to unlock and find. This basically makes it perfect for quick 5-minute blasts on a handheld like the Vita but on PC or Ps3 its a game that just gets tiring quick.

Extremely cool and simple little game.

This is a very fun and simple game. The mechanic that shooting means your plane won't heal is great. This is one of those games where there is a great simple core and then a whole bunch of challenges are added to it so that you have to try the different ship parts or do specific things. Unfortunately I don't think there are enough challenges. It goes from a nice level of challenge to very hard quickly. I think there needed to be more to build up to the harder challenges. There is also like an extreme mode that unlocks and unfortunately this is too hard too. It would have been great if there was a mode between that and the normal mode. I was able to complete some parts to the end of their challenges but others I am not bothering. I also never really bothered with the other pallets, I think it would have been nicer to just have a few extras but a bit more care or extras added to them, but obviously a pallet swap is easy for the developer to implement.

Actually really fucking dope. Lacking in a lot of content but for a small action arcade game, wonderful

I did not understand how to play this game back then

Sometimes games are just fun! And very few of them are as fun as Luftrausers, it's become my go-to reinstall whenever I just need something to take the edge off.

Very barebones with unlocks being pallet colors. Fun for a bit.

Very fun arcade styled game, 9.99 is a tiny bit much though considering how quickly you can beat the game.

only good spacewars clone

another arcadey banger from vlambeer thats an absolute joy 2 play, the game and visuals fit perfectly, screenshake is thumpy and satisfying as FUCK (on brand w/ other vlambeer titles)
gameplays addictive, like really addictive since runs dont take too much time and its very fast 2 jump into action
the soundtracks fkn amazing, it fits the game very well and when ure on fire certain parts of the songs will be emphasized creating awesome moments

Gameplay always feels fresh because of the 125 combinations you can have for ur plane, 5 weapons 5 bodies and 5 engines, all of which do not feel too overpowered or redundant, it all feels very balanced (although youll be using nukebody to complete most missions as the screen clear can help out immensely)

my con with the game is the progression system and how tedious getting 100% is, its prolly the worst progression ive seen in recent times, missions will go from super easy to almost impossibly hard to complete as some youll have 2 complete in hard mode. Theres also a bug where the last thing you killed wont count towards your score which had let me to fail the 25k in SMFT mission several times also dont even get me started about the laserace
Finally unlocking the last combination was very satisfying tho

would highly recommend it to people that are into arcade game but would highly not recommend it to people that are into arcade games that also have OCD

o modo como as músicas mudam de acordo com o avião que vc tá usando é bem interessante

Feels like the controls need to be juuuust a little more expressive for this to work as well as it should.

a fun arcade shooter, however it's an arcade game, making it pretty much impossible to complete all the missions due to random elements

It's very good at the one thing it does, but I found it too repetitive to continue

aaaahhhhʰʰʰʰ...

this game is hard and makes me hard

just fun and simple game,good to kill some time

So here we have an addicting shmup with poor controls, at least on a controller. I really do think this game was made with keyboard/mouse in mind because it can be very frustrating to play on a controller. That gripe aside, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game. The graphics are retro pixel goodness along with the music and sounds that seem like old midi files. The game has plenty of things to unlock and you don’t need to spend a dime of your real money to do so. It’s great.
