Bullet hell becomes even more hellish when fighting against the laws of gravity, but constantly compensating for the Earth’s pull makes flight feel satisfying and genuine. Degrading health is cleverly indicated by a subtle circle that constricts around your ship – the smaller it is the closer you are to going down in a blaze of glory. Your health only regenerates when you lay off the fire button, creating an exciting risk/reward factor when deciding whether to finish off a foe or flee. Becoming an expert takes time, especially while evading the dense tapestry of gunfire woven by enemy air and sea units. Simply managing to stay out of the water is a challenge at first, but you are dive-bombing battleships and dogfighting enemy planes soon enough. It places you in the cockpit and makes you feel like one of history’s soaring champions.įlying your speedy, maneuverable jet feels like Asteroids with gravity. Luftrausers is a frantic, sepia-toned 2D shooter by developer Vlambeer (the studio behind the mobile hit Ridiculous Fishing). Flying aces emerged from their respective nations, single-handedly gunning down hundreds of enemy planes. Fighter jets, aircraft carriers, and anti-aircraft guns evolved rapidly, and victory in the sky became as crucial as conquering land and sea.
And, all that aside, it also gives some balance to the otherwise incredible cannon weapon, which precludes regenerating for the whole duration of its lengthy firing process.The enemy spawns in LUFTRAUSERS being based on enemy saturation is certainly nothing new, but it does give a frantic (even somewhat stressful) tone to the game as it never lets up even momentarily (as compared to a hypothetical design that is similar but has set waves of enemies instead).World War II was the golden age for aerial warfare. You have to master the momentum-based turning and stalling of your plane, because there will be times that you have to focus on dodging and can not return fire.This gives an anxious edge to falling low on health as opposed to a sort of fatalist resign-you almost always feel like you can survive and keep the round going, if you just dodge that next volley! It incentivizes managing the enemies on the screen well enough to not become swamped in bullets. You can not merely tank damage and keep shooting at an enemy that can not regenerate health. These two twists are not as new as the simple twist behind Super Crate Box, but they are equally well-implemented.The regeneration mechanic is one of the best choices that was made in the design of LUFTRAUSERS. In the case of, there are two twists: ship health that regenerates when you are not firing or being hit, and enemy spawns that depend on existing enemy saturation. Innovative Mechanics:I have written previously about. LUFTRAUSERS is a game that offers a great challenge that looks and sounds great, too, and is a stellar title (with only a couple notable exceptions).Pros of LUFTRAUSERS1. They have their place, but they are generally overused.In the case of LUFTRAUSERS, I have a mixed-yet-positive opinion of the game after the many hours I have spent with it, and would like to use list elements to cordon off the good from the bad. Introduction:I am very sparing in my use of lists on this site, and have only written one list article before now (on ), but this is not because I necessarily dislike them.
