✦ AI summary

Secure the Skies has an innovative concept that players appreciate, particularly as a party game with engaging levels and music, but it suffers from significant polish issues including broken achievements, unclear gameplay mechanics, non-customizable controls, and poor onboarding that make it feel unfinished. Players are divided on whether the solo experience delivers on its promises, with some finding it fun while others criticize the lack of meaningful combat and repetitive spacebar-spamming gameplay.

This was not what I was expecting. You pretty much just spam spacebar to get enough score and move around enough to avoid the obstacles you make. There is no "combat" when you're playing solo, so that part's a lie. Has 4 busted Achievements, so maybe get those fixed.

Game concept is innovative. But how the game is implemented is not done well. Graphics are fine it's just that the gameplay seems very weird and hard to understand. You cannot edit the control and keybinds, the game doesnt educate the player much about the game, and worst of all achievements do not work properly. I have to quit the game and restart it just for the achievements to work. As much potential this game has. This looks like it was taken out of the oven too early and served into a large crowd with a dollar price tag and later turned free. With lackluster features and unpredictable game mechanics. I don't want to be so un-polite about a review since you probably just made this game for fun. But for a new player like myself, I don't see myself coming back and have fun. Overall. I wish this game has more into it. Looking at the description I thought it was a rhythm shooter, but instead it's just a fly and dodge game with no objective and clear obstacles besides spamming the space button and dodging your own walls.

Игра "Secure the Skies" - это весьма затягивающая и напряженная защита башни с авиационной тематикой. Дизайн уровней хорошо продуман, предлагая разнообразие стратегических точек и заставляя постоянно адаптироваться к волнам вражеских самолетов. Авиапарк, который мы можем развивать, впечатляет количеством доступных улучшений и специальных способностей. Визуально игра приятна, хотя и не выделяется передовой графикой, но все аккуратно и понятно. Самый большой плюс - необходимость принимать быстрые решения и грамотно распределять ресурсы. Сложность растет постепенно, позволяя освоиться новичкам, но и ветераны жанра найдут здесь вызов. Однако, иногда чувствуется дисбаланс в поздних этапах, когда некоторые враги кажутся неоправданно сильными. В целом, "Secure the Skies" - это достойная игра в жанре tower defense, которая отлично подойдет любителям стратегического мышления и динамичного геймплея. Рекомендую!

Really fun game to enjoy with friends while creating some melody. The levels in the game are really beautiful, to say the least. Every level has a different vibe and different music to go with it. The level with a pink haze and Japanese-style bridges is my favorite.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
