Vertical Strike Endless Challenge

ストーリーやこだわった世界観なんていらない、ただひたすら敵を撃ち落としたいという人におすすめ。 自機の挙動は慣性が効くあたり現実的で、リアルさを求める人には相性が良いだろう。 また、味方機・敵機の強さは程よく、自分以外の活躍が大きくなり過ぎることはない。音楽でも聴きながら、自分の世界に入り浸って敵を打ち破ることができるのがお気に入りの点だ。 さらに、steam版は実績が充実しており、ことあるごとに達成感を得ることができる。小ネタの詰まった実績群を開放するのもまた一興だ。 その他、操作性についても申し分ない。私はコントローラーではなくキーボードで操作することが多々あるのだが、キーのレイアウトを調整すれば難なくプレイすることができる。ただし、キーボードのみの操作では自機の周囲を見渡すことができないし、ときどき操作を受け付けなくなるバグが発生することがあるので、やはりコントローラーでのプレイをおすすめする。 総じて、値段の割に作り込みが良く、何時間も遊んでしまえる一昔前のシューティングゲームのような魅力を感じられる。気軽にジェット戦闘機を操縦したい、あるいは格好付けのない無骨な世界で戦いたいという人はこのゲームを買ってみてはいかがだろうか。

Not working with t16000, keyboard only.

空戦に特化していてストーリーが？なのでこの部分で賛否が分かれるところ。早めに飽きてしまった。

Y'know how Gran Turismo 2 for the PSX had two separate discs, one for the 'actual' game and one for the arcade mode? If you didn't, now you do. Anyways, I mention that because Vertical Strike is the arcade mode disc equivalent of a PS2-era Ace Combat. It's not making itself out to be anything more than what it is; what you see on the store page is what you get. Anti-Air takes place in an endless stretch of Plain, Anti-Ship takes place in an endless stretch of Sea. You pick one of two planes (which are practically the same, gameplay-wise), you head out, you do your thing, and whenever you get shot down, you either go back to the hangar to restock and try again or you call it a day. It's a very plain game, pun unintended, but I feel like that works out in its favor [i]as long as you're fully aware of that,[/i] going into it. Pretty cozy for when you want that AC 'feel' straight away, stripped down to its basics. I banged out all the achievements in a little over four hours, which - combined with the fundamental entertainment of a well-done AC clone - makes the game's base asking price pretty fair. It does go on sale for like A Buck occasionally though, so if you're on the fence, I'd recommend grabbing it then - but I feel like ICKX have earned their fivers here. Now when the hell is that EFFY translation coming out. Come on. Gimme the sauce. Thing's been marked as COMING SOON for like half a decade now.

THIS is the game I always wanted since first playing Top Gun on the NES. A simple, bare bones, aircraft combat game. Solid soundtrack too.

English review: I recommend it, especially for the price. To be honest, this is a very simple game. In terms of graphics and presentation, it even feels older than its 2017 release date suggests. However, considering how cheap it gets on sale, that is not a big problem. I saw some reviews mentioning issues with running the game, controller support, and similar things, but personally I did not have any problems. The game ran normally for me, and I was able to play with a controller without any trouble. In fact, I think it feels much better with a controller than with keyboard and mouse. One positive point that I really liked was the achievements. I found them pretty fun, and this little game actually made me want to try other similar games. Overall, it is not a very impressive game visually, and it does feel quite dated, but it works well enough for what it is. Is it worth it? For the price, yes. On sale, I think it is worth playing. Análise em português: Recomendo, principalmente pelo preço. Sendo bem sincero, este é um jogo bem simples. Em questão de gráficos e apresentação, ele até parece ser mais antigo do que 2017, que é a data de lançamento mostrada na Steam. Mas, considerando o valor que ele custa em promoção, isso acaba não sendo um grande problema. Vi algumas análises falando sobre problemas para rodar o jogo, suporte a controle e coisas desse tipo, mas eu pessoalmente não tive nenhum problema. O jogo rodou normalmente e consegui jogar no controle sem dificuldade. Inclusive, achei muito melhor jogar no controle do que no teclado e mouse. Um ponto positivo que gostei bastante foram as conquistas. Achei elas bem legais, e esse joguinho acabou até me dando vontade de jogar outros jogos parecidos. No geral, ele não impressiona muito graficamente e realmente parece um jogo mais antigo, mas funciona bem dentro do que propõe. Vale a pena? Pelo valor dele, sim. Em promoção, acho que vale a pena jogar.
