60 of 131 · most liked firstBought 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…

Enjoy wild 360º dogfights and roam the blue skies with complete movement control. Available August 23rd on #Steam and #NintendoSwitch. #indiegames #indiedev

If you're hungry for more Star Fox that ISN'T the same game again, you're good!
positive · AI labelView post →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.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hi everyone! We are glad to announce that the latest update of FUR Squadron Phoenix is getting a new post-game campaign featuring Full Range Combat for the first time! Free movement in 360º dogfights, a new storyline and new unlockables. Available August 23rd on #Steam and #NintendoSwitch!
neutral · AI labelView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.

neutral · AI labelView post →Had an absolute blast with this game! The visuals and soundtrack are amazing! I just wish there was more to play! Fingers crossed for a sequel!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beatiful and fun Starfox-like game. We need more like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Look I get "this game is best played with a controller". Sure. But not ALLOWING player to turn off the controller without literally physically unplugging it is inexcusable. Add a toggle in the options.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its like the handicap version of starfox with a short story at least u can jerk off to kiro looks close enough to starwolf
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.

neutral · AI labelView post →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.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fur Squadron Phoenix Review - Review. A Star Fox-inspired rail shooter. Out today on Nintendo Switch.
neutral · AI labelView post →You get what you pay for. It ain't groundbreaking or high-budget but it's short-and-sweet. This did seem like a prototype prequel for the sequel, FUR Squadron Phoenix, which does look like a lot more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really cool space shooter. Not many coming out these days, so this was a breath of fresh air. This might pair up really nice with the switch, or something portable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good little Star Fox experience that takes place after their 2nd game, FUR Squadron Phoenix. It can be beaten pretty quickly but has some postgame challenges you can do if you want more playtime.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[AD/GIFTED] We're streaming Fur Squadron Phoenix thanks to @raptorclawgames.bsky.social who gifted us a code.

neutral · AI labelView post →△ 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.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →highly recommend FUR Squadron on steam if you want an indie star fox-like. its pretty short rn and meant to be demo-adjacent but iirc they plan on expanding into a much larger game (though i havent checked on the devs in forever and have no idea if anything’s been cancelled)
positive · AI labelView post →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.
positive · AI labelView post →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.
neutral · AI labelView post →Game 9 - FUR Squadron Phoenix This game is a wonderful homage to Star Fox 64 that experiments with some fun elements I hope Nintendo considers when working on their next entry in the series. Excited to give a full review on next week’s @podwithpower.bsky.social!
positive · AI labelView post →Signal boosting! This one's got heavy Star Fox 64 inspiration with an Axolotl named Axel! It's the follow-up to 2023's FUR Squadron, a synthwave Star Fox-style game. (Tip of the hat to @mrgn13.bsky.social for mentioning it to me!)
neutral · AI labelView post →I beat FUR Squadron. No death run. It's a very fun legally distinct Star Fox game. If you like an On Rail Shooter that is short and sweet with some nice replayability with 3 difficulty settings, I recommend it! Thank you all for coming to my stream. = ' ~ ' =
positive · AI labelView post →I would love a new Star Fox game! It’s been too long. I can recommend Fur Squadron which reminds me a lot of classic Star Fox. You can finish the game in an hour or less.

neutral · AI labelView post →Short and entertaining on rails game, if your only benchmark is star fox yeah, play it but at this price point and don't expect the same experience. I liked that the graphics are justified in the story. The boss with inverse view and controls in upper level of difficulty, UGH just NO thanks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hope you liked this small update on the FUR Squadron Phoenix development. If you didn't know the game, please consider wishlisting the game and playing the demo. It really helps. 😀 store.steampowered.com/app/2674650/...
neutral · AI labelView post →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).

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Left me wanting more, which is a good thing! It's a very fun game and it really nails the feeling of the series of games it's inspired by. 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. The dev did a great job of incorporating it and it's side effects into the story however and I really enjoyed that part! :) All in all, a super fun, if a bit…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was immediately drawn in by the Star Fox-like aesthetics, and it truly lives up to its inspiration!Despite being a short ride (~30 min), it's fun and easy to play while still bringing a challenge as I went through the progressing difficulties. The characters and music are equally charming and memorable, Axel is a real treat whenever she appears (^_^)!! Highly recommended if you're a fan of Star Fox or rail shooters, I only wish there was more!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was disappointed there wasn't more, but I understand.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a nice, fun Starfox-like game, with retrowave wire-frame graphics. The characters are charming in their own way. The game is a bit short, but very re-playable. I still love this game, I wish there was more of it. I am hoping for a sequel or for an expansion. I recommend this game, if you like Starfox or other similar games or you are just in the mood for a quick fun arcade shooter.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice StarFox-like game!!!!! Control is beautiful. and very great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a beautiful little game that despite being short, captures the essence of those old school rail shooters! I hope there is more coming!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little Star Fox game with its own little twists. It is really short, but if I ever crave some quick Star Fox action, Fur Squadron has me covered!

neutral · AI labelView post →Played and beat the original FUR Squadron; even with unlockable difficulties, it's a very short game, but its unique virtual reality presentation is extremely polished, the "glitchy" plot moments are visually exciting, and the fun gameplay is classic Star Fox. Definitely worth your attention!
