    Bought this immediately on release, as it immediately conjures up images of StarFox. +Fun, fairly cute visuals +Responsive controls, although the lasers feel a little mushy. -VERY short. Beat the campaign on the starter difficulty in <30 minutes. Be aware that unless you replay it, it's a very short game. -Very basic input. For a StarFox clone, I expected hard turns instead of only rolls. No boost/brake. -Very thin dialogue. Overall, I do recommend it, but only if you really want more…

    I would like to make it known this game controls well and plays well. My Negative review is solely on the basis of it lacking checkpoints, If I am on the third stage of a multistage boss at the end of a long on rails level and I die and the game puts me back at the beginning of the stage that really discourages the player.

    So I can tell overall this is a labor of love, so I don't want to be too hard on the dev. Take this "negative" review as more of constructive criticism. Overall, it aims to recapture the vibe of Starfox. Although it strives to be more like the SNES version, it feels more like some hybrid of SNES and N64. There are obvious references and allusions to the characters, catchphrases, and other such fan service items - which I don't think is bad necessarily. However, the game really is a shadow of…

    A wonderful Star Fox-like game, very short, but very fun! Managed to complete the whole campaign in a little more than 30 mins, but to unlock all the achievements took about 2.4 hrs.Controls on PC seemed very sensitive and hard to properly control, but managed to finish the first difficulty completely after getting adjusted to it. After that, the other difficulties I tried with a controller, and that works a lot better. Highly recommended for those looking for a small sip of a Star Fox like…

    A very nice homage to starfox. Fun levels, the controls feel good and I dig the vapewave aesthetic. I have seen people complain about it being short. But I think this is a positive. Considering that it feels like every game is 400+ hours long, having a game that you can play in one sitting is quite refreshing.

    I know this was made with a much shorter budget, so I *really* want to cut the game some slack, especially given that the game isn't expensive. The length is what I would expect from the price. It does have a small replayability factor if you're looking to take on higher difficulties and trying for higher scores. I feel like you can make a homage to Star Fox without using such poorly written dialogue. I'm not asking for a complex story, I just don't feel like any of the characters have their…

    Honestly for the price of a Starbucks Coffee this is pretty decent, if anything it shines a light on how so many of us want a new Star Fox already. I had a good time with it and I actually appreciated how short it was given its design, it was beginning to get a little tedious right around the point where you're done so it doesn't overstay its welcome, good experience overall.

    This is exactly what I would imagine the next logical step for Star Fox from a gameplay standpoint. It's smoother, faster, and much more difficult on the harder difficulties. Even if it only has Five levels, it certainly doesn't feel like it, I had a blast from beginning to end, that's not even mentioning the adorable animals and the surprisingly good story. Oh and the soundtrack is straight fire, If you love Star Fox this is the game for you!

    A love letter to Star Fox 64, with solid gameplay, eye-catching retrowave graphics, good duels against final bosses and very charismatic characters. A bit short, but it's quite replayable and what it has is a lot of fun to play.

    I am genuine surprised that they charged money for this. The game is a half baked tech demo at best, and feels like a proof of concept. The dialog feels like it has zero character, and there's less gameplay depth than even the SNES Star Fox game. You have shoot, missile and roll, that's it. The game moves at a snail's pace.

    △ There is a scoring system × - Bland wireframe graphics. It feels like it's trying to have the 80's vibe which feels out of place in this game. I feel like they just wanted to save money by not giving this game good graphics. - Soulless storytelling and characters. The VA is just rabbling so you have to read the text while playing to even know what they are saying which takes away from the immersion and makes it unnecessarily harder to play - Gameplay is bland. No speed boost or backflips.…

    I don't think it needs to be overcomplicated. Fur Squadron Phoenix came out in February and is great. But Retro Studios had a pitch about 15 years ago that would be my dream game for the Star Fox team. Basically playing into the mercenary angle and rebuilding Lylat System after the war with Andross.

    Both Fur Squadron Phoenix and Palworld were good. Fur Squadron has the unfortunate but common issue that the Star Fox Heritage games seem have. Your basic laser just doesn't do enough. It has an upgrade system but this is an arcade game. Lemme' shoot things. You clearly know it's not enough power.

    Plays well, this is absolutely a love letter to the Star-Fox franchise (as I had hoped it would be). Game mechanics are very similar, they even have equivalent characters to the Star-Fox team (obviously different to avoid the assassins from Nintendo). Worth buying and playing, the characters are adorable furries and the game is a quality title, it is short (although Star-Fox games often are).

I do enjoy the story and character banter a lot too - and the character designs are really cute! :D The "Virtual World" Wireframe look is very cool, but can get a bit hard on the eyes after a while.

    Fur Squadron is everything a fan of the classic Star Fox needs. And, although what he wants to arouse is evident, he feels his own with his particular charisma. The pace of the action is very fast, although the best thing is that it is VERY pleasant at the controls. Simple to use, very intuitive and therefore seems easy. But it does have a bloody level design that makes a point of making every second of it fun. For this reason, and because I know that it will bite me to replay certain phases…
