Oct. 2025

Cool little game. High risk swoop-in-and-out plane combat, which is challenging, intense and exciting. Not a ton of content.

Aug. 2025

My favorite small arcade game. Launch it, and 10 seconds later, you're experiencing intense dogfights. Very fun !

July 2025

One of the best arcade-style shooters I have played. It takes a bit to get used to the controls, but it one of the most addictive games I have played in recent times.

July 2025

Good arcade game! The menus are janky but the gameplay is fluid once you get used to how each engine handles. However, SFMT mode suffers from the same issues as Nuclear Throne hard mode - it's a massive step up from classic and the difficulty often feels unfair. The SFMT 'kill an ace at max combo' and 'get 25k' missions are very reliant on enemy spawns and can be frustrating. It's a shame that the game locks a final piece of content behind these missions, but if you ignore them and enjoy the standard gameplay it's a fun game to pick up on sale!

April 2025

It's a good game. The visual design is very clean and all the different plane parts you unlock offer a lot of variety in fighting styles. There are a few stinkers among the loadout choices, but those can serve as fun additional challenges. The menus also feel a bit clunky at times, but you won't be spending much time browsing those. The gameplay loop is super simple, but also super satisfying to get good at. You spawn in, kill enemies, and the more you kill, the more enemies spawn. You're almost always surrounded, dodging projectiles and firing your weapon to maintain the combo. Your plane goes down quickly and can only recover durability when you're not firing or taking damage. It's a fun balancing act between getting kills and not getting too carried away and forgetting to heal. The adaptive soundtrack is a memorable feature. Music consists of three overlapping tracks, which change depending on your loadout. The music also reacts to you being on low health, getting more uneven, muffled, and playing in tune with the emergency siren. Overall, Luftrausers is a simple and addictive "time waster" type of game.
