Icarus-X - Fighter Jet Game - App Review

When I was younger I loved the game Raiden and I have played many fighter jet games since. 
Icarus-X (By The Quadsphere) is an impressive new 3D birds-eye view take on the old classic games. 




The graphics are pretty cool. The 3D is backgrounds are interactive. Pretty amazing, but also can be nauseating at times. 

The game is really fast-paced. There's a lot going on, lasers and fireballs being thrown at you, all over the screen. Downside is the backgrounds make all this on-screen details clash into one...

The controls are okay, not great. I couldn't even get my plane to go right to the bottom of the screen, it would always stay about 1/5 from the bottom. Also when you have your finger on-screen moving the craft, you can't really see what's around you. And you ship don't fire unless your holding your finger down. 

The game features two campaign modes: Redux; which includes power-ups and bombs and Classic; which has just one weapon and missiles. 

Icarus-X includes a practice mode, awards and replays. Also, leaderboards and then settings.

The settings include:
- Direct touch or relative touch controls
- Play game music or listen to songs from your device while playing.

It's a fast-paced, full of action fighter plane game, that can be frustrating at times or may even leave you feeling a little nauseated or dizzy from the 3D fast moving interactive backgrounds. If you love these type of plane fighter games - you may love this one. Not my favourite, but impressive none the less.
