Air Twister

By far one of the worst video games I have ever played in my life. What a waste of time

The game is gorgeous, but the music is terrible and unfitting and the controls could be better, and unfortunately can’t be changed.

Pls just put this game up for sale.

Why am I shooting lasers and stuff to what sounds like Queen’s bohemian rhapsody? The vibe is not there

I NEVER write reviews for mobile games but this will be the exception. 🎮Think of SEGA’s Panzer Dragoon- flying through the air sometimes on a mount firing at the enemies that come flying your way. The same beloved arcade feel but the controls can be funny on touch screen. I HIGHLY Recommend using a controller like I did, I promise you will enjoy the game much more. 👾Add in a skill-tree [not really “skill’s”, but a few cosmetics and extra HP which you will absolutely NEED to survive the end] and a banging soundtrack and you get this. I literally thought I was listening to music from Queen until I found the games soundtrack on Spotify. 🕹The graphics are nothing to do cartwheels over but the backgrounds are very pretty without being distracting. Enemy models are smooth and the bosses look pretty sweet. It’s everything you’d expect from an arcade game. I loved everything about the game. If you liked Panzer D., Space Harrier, anything in that category I think you will love this [IF you use a controller!]. There is a sudden difficulty jump at stage 4 and by stage 7 the enemies will become a lot to deal with. I’d say this game is for somewhere between casuals and hardcores.

I genuinely like this game! It’s just unfortunate that gameplay is ultimately frustrating. It’s quite a bit difficult to tell which way something that can hurt you is going since it moves in an hard-to-predict curve, and there’s a lot of room for error. So it feels like not getting hit is more of a luck thing than a skill thing. Outside of that, great potential here.

Very good game for sure. Lots of replay value and the graphics are beautiful for a mobile game. Some people are commenting that the graphics are bad or like “PS1” , those people are probably children still in grade school.

Fatal flaw. I hate the idea of completing something only to die in level 2 and not start back at level 2. If I am doing it “wrong” than that is still a fault of the game as this should be easy to figure out for someone with experience in games surely. I can’t stand games that do this — why would I want to play the SAME level over and over and over and over. Nahhhh to the trash bin you go. Good luck.

Decent touch controls on this shooter. Seems like a very indie title. The soundtrack for the game sounded like Queen at first, but it’s a singlet named Valensia. It’s repetitive, so after a level or two you’ll hear the same songs over and over. The rest of the game is repetitive too, very simple level design and boss battles one after the other. PlayStation 1 style graphics. Reminds of of the classic Bryce 3D software. You can use points to change your avatar a bit or unlock upgrades. I played about 4 stages. It doesn’t appear to have any story line, just an endless barrage of some enemies that shoot at you and big boss battles. There’s some lore if you dig deep into the menus, but by now I’m pretty bored of it and moving on.

Air Twister is a game that feels satisfying once mastered. It took me awhile though. I bumbled and got stuck at the first three stages but once I figured out the controls the first six stages became a breeze. You can switch between two types of aiming, lock-on and manual aiming. Each one affects the way you dodge the enemies. Lock-on is done by swiping at the enemies. Manual however is trickier. You have to hold one finger in place to stop moving and tap with the other to shoot. This is how I did it but there are other different ways to aim and shoot. The controls are fun and challenging, it really is! You’ll know you mastered it when you can breeze through the first six stages. But after that the game ramps up and the real game begins.
