Description: StarDrone is a high-speed action puzzle with a mix of arcade action, pinball, breakout and collect-the-objects. In StarDrone, you pilot the always-in-motion space drone through diverse cosmic environments in order to beat each of the all levels’ goals. Goals can range from getting to the end of the level, to destroying all enemies, to collecting certain items. Cause your attackers to crash with rapid speed while collecting starts, gems and power-up enhancements. Overcome perilous hazards and elude zillions of enemies in an effort to complete each stage with a record score. With simple gesture controls and unique, intuitive game play mechanics, StarDrone is friendly to beginners, at the same time challenging enough to bring you back for more and more.
Review: To be honest, it’s pretty hard to put into words the type of game “StarDrone VR” really is. It’s like a pinball style game, with a touch of Sonic the Hedgehog gameplay and arcade classics thrown in for good measure! What you end up with is a beautiful looking game that has more than enough content to justify its own relatively small asking price. While it won’t be for everyone anyone who has played the other versions of this game and enjoyed them, or anyone who loves retro gaming will love it. To put it simply this is just one of those games that its best to download yourself to see if you like it or not. It’s not that expensive so it’s well worth a try.
