Dogfight Reviews

Narrowly gets a rec from me. It's pretty competent, looks and sounds pretty good. On default difficulty with 5 lives I went in and one-shot all 10 levels in 45 minutes.. There is room to 5-star each of the missions, though you'd have to enjoy it more than I did to feel motivated to do that. The game recycles some of the same bosses and there was nothing too exciting going on with the level design. I felt the movement was a little too loose using the control stick of my Xbox controller, making it tricky to be precise. I wish the ship had a tiny bit more weight too it to remedy this. Dogfight is passable enough, though far from the fine-tuned, better games in the genre. ===================== [b]My SHMUP Tier List[/b] ===================== [i]-Simply personal taste.
