Comments on Space Swift: The Sky Defender for Android

★★★★☆ C Sanyk · Oct 31, 2018
If you loved Defender and Stargate in the early 1980s, you might like Space Swift. The gameplay is simplified due to the touch screen controls, but one of the biggest problems with Defender/Stargate was overly complicated controls. Flying and shooting with the touchscreen is interesting and takes some getting used to. Press and hold with the side you want to move away from, and tap the other side of the screen with your thumb to shoot. Now try to see through your thumbs. Fun times! Gameplay and graphics are different enough from Defender to avoid lawsuits from Bally/Williams, or whoever owns the IP to Defender, probably, but the game has an authentic vibe that makes it feel like a worthy sequel to the classics. Your ship has headlights, an interesting innovation, but it seems to have little impact on gameplay, and there are meteor showers which are fun, but there doesn't seem to be a "save the humans" mechanic in this game, which was what Defender was all about. I would like to see this game add AT-AT style walkers at some point, as in the Atari 2600 game The Empire Strikes Back.
★★★★★ Chris Carpenter · Oct 31, 2018
Absolutely brilliant defender like arcade shooter. Control style is really innovative. The sounds are perfect. Gameplay is challenging but extremely fun. UI is super responsive, retro themed and quick to get back to the action. Developers have done a great job with this game.
★☆☆☆☆ Jay Tavor · Jan 8, 2024
No instructions, only 1 life. No explanation of a goal. Simple and SAD.
★★☆☆☆ Craig Amie · Apr 28, 2025
that wasn't a like learning how to read and you 2 years old.
★☆☆☆☆ Dj Raven · Apr 1, 2024
For a simple game that didn't take a lot of time or money to put together it sure as hell has alot of adds you have to watch in order to play. Uninstall never felt better!
