About

Thundering Skies is a shoot'em up inspired by the 16-bit classics of the genre. Making an appearance are the obligatory fire and ice-themed levels, giant battleships, scratchy voice samples, huge bosses and overpowered weapons that make you feel naked when you lose them - as well some less expected features.

Includes:

- 6 stages
- 2 game modes: autosave your progress or beat it in one sit with limited credits for an extra score boost
- 4 difficulty levels, including an introductory mode
- 10 Steam Achievements
- Challenging bosses and minibosses
- Online score board
- An amazing soundtrack by Bettina Calmon
- Adjustable scanlines for that lovely CRT effect

Thundering Skies reviews and comments

Translated by

Description: Horizontal scrolling shooter. Sent to Jupiter to fight with alien enemies. Along the way will also have to clear the moons Of Jupiter. There is a ship with 4 different guns on board and we choose one of the two modes of play (normal or arcade) and several types of difficulty go into battle. The Graphics in the game is nice and you can see that the developers have tried. The Music is different. Management... Could be better. On the keyboard will have to control the arrows, shoot the space bar, and the weapon to change to the keys M

Product received for free "Thundering Skies" is a Scrolling-shooter in the Oldschool style. Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8uk5gXwrF8 In order to play this wonderful game you will need a controller! The Game is completely adapted to it, and so that does not want to work with the keyboard and mouse! The Game does not respond to mouse clicks and keyboard buttons. I did it only after I plugged my Xbox 360 Controller. His game immediately picked up. The Game was made, inspired by old, classic games. Even the manual in the game made in the form of pictures that resemble paper tabs to the cartridges. "Thundering Skies" encounters a funny Intro and chic music (it's just 11 out of 10). Oldschool graphics have never caused me nostalgic feelings (I'm not a fan of pixels), so the picture I was not pleased (a typical brand of old schools with imitation interlaced image mode), but very pleased gameplay! The Gameplay in the game is the same, classic and arcade, which bored many fans of retro. Control on the controller is smooth and obedient. Play One fun! The Game is small, but it has a lot of dynamics, shooting and bosses. It justifies Its price. Just do not forget that it requires a controller (it is strange that it is forgotten to specify in the description). You can read other reviews and subscribe to our curators.
