ThrustLander Reviews

This game is entertaining and it looks amazing to boot. You can tell that the developer spent time paying particular attention to the lighting, which is stunning. The powerups are fun and add a great dimension to a classic genre.

This game is epic! really well done homage to older games. it has a really great and solid feel to it. the graphics are perfect for it and are very readable . 10 out of 10! :-)

Absolutely brilliant! Been a huge fan of Gravitar, Gravity Force, Thrust etc for years. Not enough games in the genre. But Thrust Lander might just be the bets version of these type of games ever! Just wish it had some multiplayer modes. Graphics are fantastic, the challenge is perfect (I'm 160 missions in so far) and I love the upgrades! Paid full price, played 8 hours in the firs 2 days. 5/5!

Of the many gravity shooters I've played, Thrustlander ranks at the top when it comes to that classic "feel" of thrusting your engines to build or kill inertia. There is a real intuitive sense of control that is developed over time while playing that is unrivaled. Plenty of content, but no "time to complete" leaderboards, which would have been the cherry on top. Cool game!

I haven't played these types of games in a while, but I now remember why I used to so much. The premise is simple, yet elegant and there are more then enough features and game modes to keep things interesting and very challenging. The game control is one of my favorite aspects. On a PC the rotational movement is very fluid and precise. On top of that, all the functionality is contained within the three buttons of the mouse (thrust, fire, and special). This give the user a great sense of control. The game design is well though out and bug free, and the graphics have a lot of detail. The three types of games (regular, race, and retro) add variety and quite a bit of challenge from the 'normal' to 'cruel' modes within each level. I still have a very hard time getting three stars with the race modes even after numerous hours of play, but with practice it is achievable. This is a game that even my daughter has picked up and can get through many of the normal and some hard levels. Overall, highest marks for this genre of game, well done!

ThrustLander catapults the tried-and-true game mechanics of home computer classics such as Grav or Thrust & Thrust II into the 21st century. Incredibly smooth, varied gameplay, easy to learn but hard to master. A definite recommendation.

This is a great game, some real retro goodness. It brings back memories of Lunar Lander, Thrust, and Oids. While simple in nature, it gets quite hard later on. The graphics are excellent, the little touches like the landing gear extracting while refueling are top notch. The controls are fluid and responsive, I'm using an xbox one controller for it, and the game is quite fun. If you're a fan of retro shooters, get this game.
