Reviews for UFO: Blackstorm shield

[aguydude]

This is one of the better shooters on Newgrounds. The mix of weapons and enemy types makes the gameplay strategic enough to be quite fun and the building/upgrade system is great. This game offers a shooter with just the right amount of tweaking; the offerings manage to avoid adding much complexity to the controls while still offering an interesting level of tactics. This isn't the first game I've encountered that required the player to protect the bottom of their screen, but it's definitely one of the best of them.

A well-executed, fun game.

I am so sorry, but your game is just too hard. As of this review, nobody can even claim the "Beat the game with no deaths medal" yet.

It's frustrating because this is a fantastic challenging game with great sound direction and good design decisions like letting you demolish buildings while receiving 100% of the money back for them, but the whole thing was built around the player losing and trying again with more resources while at the same time offering an achievement for beating it with no losses.

I appreciate you patching the game too, but this is an insane measure of difficulty.

AleGui responds:

Allright, now the boss spawns about 1/3 of the ships it spawned before, and takes more time to shoot the big red bullets. I hope this helps.

Also try selling all your labs and non combat buildings before fighting the boss.

Really fun game love the mechanics. Enjoyed the progression from sheilds and generators to labratorys and machine guns and the buildings that helped you farm elerium and research points. Well done.
