DeVuego LATAM

Jugué el juego en una Switch, me parece una gran plataforma para jugarlo, especialmente para una partida de dos personas (jugué un par de niveles con mi padre que no entiende mucho de videojuegos y se entretuvo mucho). En la tienda de Nintendo Argentina el juego está unos 611 pesos y para PC está 180 pesos en Steam.

What an absolute gem of a game. It’s flashy, but not overdone. It’s got great bosses and characters that are both menacing and comical. The gameplay has a fantastic flow, and won’t be frustrating for new players. I am absolutely thrilled with Sky Racket, and want to play it over and over again. This is not only a great game in it’s own right, but it now has a place in my top 10 favorite shoot-em-ups of all time. It’s a must play, and I highly recommend it!

Sky Racket is something you can throw on and switch off for a while to enjoy, with a melodic score that serves to ease, action-packed gameplay that’s not too challenging, so much so that it’s incredibly accessible, that reels you in for an engaging time, along with a charming personality unmatched by many of its competitors. If you’re looking for a sparkly brand new retro experience for the Switch, you’ve found it.

I had a really good time playing Sky Racket, with its genre-mashing gameplay proving both fun and addictive throughout. The main campaign is a little bit on the short side, but with its multiplayer action and the tricky challenges each level offers, there’s plenty here to keep you blasting projectiles back at your enemies for some time.

With a lovely presentation and unique gameplay that you can enjoy with a friend, Sky Racket is a must-have indie for any retro lover.

Sky Racket is an excitingly fun love letter to retro gaming. Double Dash manages to marry two genres in such a way that makes it feel like they should’ve been together all along. The game suffers from an overall lack in content, but just about everything there is terrific. Now hitting the Switch, Sky Racket is a great addition to the eShop.

Sky Racket is great. I enjoyed the time I spent by myself and even more of the time that I spent with a friend to try out the solid multiplayer (we died a lot). I do very much recommend this game to anybody that likes brick breaker games and casual difficulty shoot ’em up games. It’s not too crazy, but it’ll put you through your paces to complete all of its challenges. This game is a good time!

Sky Racket is a real hidden gem. The combination of genres is seamless, the art style is great to look at and the soundtrack is incredible! If you’re looking for a real indie gem that unashamedly tries something new, then Sky Racket is a perfect choice.

Sky Racket is a bit of a hidden gem. There’s not a whole lot of information about it on YouTube that I found super compelling and I’ve not once seen anyone recommend it. If you can get past the tougher segments of the games, the longer levels, and a couple of drawn-out boss fights this is one that just has to be experienced. 

Sky Racket is a game that combines the brick breaker genre with shoot em up core mechanics. I wanted to say a traditional shooter but it is most certainly not, for your ammo is the enemies and you use them by returning their projectiles. Blocks will sometimes give the enemy a barrier and especially in boss-like encounters. Overall it is a nice little distraction that builds a good genre but needs more variety and meat on the bone.

“Sky Racket” es un juego breve; por más de que sea retador y complejo e inmensamente entretenido, se termina mucho antes de lo esperado, lo cual lo deja a uno con ganas de probar más. Sin embargo, y a pesar de que el gameplay no es perfecto —me hubiera encantado el poder devolver ataques que vengan desde arriba o desde abajo—, no puedo dejar de admitir que Racket Boy y Racket Girl terminaron por cautivarme. Se trata de una experiencia rápida y furiosa, en donde los reflejos acelerados son de suma importancia. Puede que “Sky Racket” no sea el shooter que a muchos les gustaría probar, pero con sus mecánicas novedosas y estética alegre y colorida, debería terminar por convertir a cualquier escéptico que encuentre este juego en la eShop de la Nintendo Switch. Ciertamente vale la pena que le den una oportunidad.

Un titulo indie que no tiene nada que envidiar al resto y que con aspectos sencillos logró crear una experiencia de juego divertida y frenética.

Sky Racket es una vuelta de tuerca al género de los shooter 2d, mezclando las mecánicas de los «matamarcianos» con la de los arkanoid o pinball, creando así una original y muy divertido nuevo subgénero. Su apartado artístico, con diseños y animaciones de videojuego de 16 bits, es maravilloso para todos los que le guste lo retro  el buen pixelart. Si trasladásemos este juego a aquella época de Super Nintendo, Megadrive y recreativas 2D, no desentonaría y estaríamos hablando de un clásico para recordar. Es tan fiel en el aspecto retro, que también peca de ser algo escaso en contenido aunque, eso sí, bastante rejugable gracias a sus submisiones de dificultad bastante elevada.

Rolling credits on Sky Racket left me feeling a little ambivalent. It’s a decidedly enjoyable experience from beginning to end, and it feels like an excellent co-op game if you have a partner to join you. That said, it’s definitely on the shorter side, and having more stages before the boss fights would have made getting to them more rewarding. The variety present here is great, but I can’t help but feel like this main course is leaving me a little hungry. If you don’t mind running through stages multiple times to achieve all of the objectives, or you’re looking for a fresh and compact co-op game, Sky Racket is certainly worth a look. The amount of content and the controls do leave something to be desired, though.

Sky Racket is a fun brick breaker and shoot ’em up mash-up with a great-looking art style, easy to understand gameplay mechanics, and 12 stages to beat. There’s some extra replay value thanks to the bonus objectives to complete, and twice the fun to be had thanks to its local co-op multiplayer. Sky Racket is out now on Nintendo Switch with a $14.99 price tag.

Sky Racket es una gran opción para aquellos que quieren probar algo diferente en el mundo de los shoot 'em up. Su sistema de juego, en el que debemos golpear las balas de los enemigos, resulta muy divertido y cuenta con muy buenos diseños de personajes, especialmente jefes. Tristemente, es muy corto. Aunque podemos volver a jugar los niveles para cumplir ciertos retos, el diseño de algunos escenarios puede volverse frustrante a la hora de intentar completarlo al 100%. Este es un juego que se beneficiaría mucho con un par de niveles más y una curva de dificultad un poco más balanceada.

Sky Racket es un título bastante discreto, pero que es capaz de entretener al jugador. Si te gustan los matamarcianos te recomendamos seguirle la pista y darle una oportunidad. El juego lleva un tiempo disponible en PC (Steam), así como lleva unas semanas en la eShop de Nintendo Switch, por lo que te puedes hacer con él en la plataforma que desees. Nuestra recomendación es sin lugar a dudas jugarlo en la consola híbrida, más si eres de los que prefieren jugar en modo portátil. Si además te gustan los retos, aquí tienes una experiencia bastante durilla si te propones lograr el 100%.

Sky Racket es una gran opción para pasar esta cuarentena, ya que no sólo está barato, sino que es entretenido, desafiante y garantiza muchas horas de juego si lo queremos completar al 100 %. ¡Salvemos al mundo jugando al tenis mientras volamos!

The most difficult part of reviewing Sky Racket is knowing which audience is going to be the most interested in the game. As mentioned before, while the boss fights are fun and full of stuff to dodge, the block sections of the game may be too slow-paced for the more dedicated shmup fans. With that being said, it is also possible that the people looking for a relaxing experience of Tennis and Break-Out might be taken off guard by the more demanding boss fights. Perhaps the safest conclusion, then, is that the game should appeal to an audience that has an overlapping interest in the diverse game-styles that Sky Racket skillfully mixes together.

Resumiendo, estamos frente a un fichín que no posee una dificultad muy exigente, que no es lo mismo que fácil, porque su lentitud se traduce en la sofocante ansiedad que genera esperar pasivamente cada accionar. Sin embargo, no deja de ser un título entretenido para divertirse en compañía por un rato.

If simplicity is a fault, the world is bananas. Such splendid absurdity (and color) is focal to the glitter of Sky Racket, a game that combines old with old to create new. Where it falters is whether players are willing to accept that the genre highs of both shoot-'em-ups and block-breakers may not be fully on display here. In theory, mixing two good things should create a better thing, though the harsh reality is that it's never that simple. Still, it does what it can to flourish each end. Benefited by a retro aesthetic and incredible polish, Sky Racket has the makings of an enjoyable couple hours, though anything beyond could be harder to recommend.

Ultimately, in trying to combine shoot-em-ups and brick breakers, Sky Racket misses the point of both genres. Its reliance on enemies’ projectiles is a clever concept, but poorly implemented. And the level design and difficulty are so inconsistent, one can only wonder how much thought was put into the game after the core concepts were conceived.

Es muy sencillo: Sky Racket es un regalo. Perfecto para jugar de chill entre juego y juego, para pasar los ratos muertos en el sofá con la pareja, compi de piso, sobrinos, archienemigos, hijos e hijastros o para sacarle todos los logros y ponernos en modo niño rata de los bullet hell mientras lloramos de gusto gracias a su pixel art y sus animaciones.
