Game pageSky Force Reloaded: return to familiar skies with a stronger plane
A stronger plane gives familiar stages a fresh pull. Reviewers enjoy upgrades that make them look forward to another flight.
Collecting planes and cards adds another attraction. Repeated flights to obtain them can also become a burden.
What makes it fun
Return with an upgraded plane
Collect stars, upgrade your plane, and revisit a stage that gave you trouble. Stronger weapons change how you tackle familiar enemies.
Rescue or clear the stage untouched
Rescuing operatives and clearing a stage without taking damage are distinct objectives. Choosing which to pursue changes what you watch for while fighting.
Fly a familiar stage in another plane
Collect plane parts to unlock another aircraft. Differences in attack and defense give you a reason to try a new approach on a familiar stage.
