Anyone have any thoughts on the recently announced "Sky Force Anniversary"? Looks like a decent vertical shmup. The initial levels of the game look a lot slower paced than other games of this type that I've seen so it might be a good one for casuals, at least at the beginning. 

I grabbed it for free on ps4 a while back and have been playing it lately.  I like it a lot, mostly because of it's upgrade system which gives you permanent upgrades that you can buy with the currency you collect as you play.  You also have your progression tracked which unlocks later levels as you meet level objectives.  These objectives come in sets of 4 and once you complete them, it unlocks more difficult challenges for the levels.  It does this three times for each level, at least as far as I've unlocked so far.  

 

They try to mix things up some too, but that doesn't always work for me.  One level has you trying to complete objectives with no weapons, which became a drag, but I liked all the other levels.  Anyway, I've played much worse shooters.  The only downside I suppose is that there isn't much to do once you've unlocked everything, but I still liked having a reason to play that was more than just trying to get a high score or see how few lives I could lose.

If you are one of the 150 orders that haven't shipped, you should receive an email from Sarah with details. We're giving people affected free stuff to make up for the delay. Additionally, the orders fulfilled at the end have a much higher rate of gold trading cards. If you don't receive an email, you're not affected - your tracking will just take some time to update but I can assure you the stuff is all out.

Thank you. I know I can personally sound like an ass, especially when I'm frustrated, but this is the kind of response that means something. Actual details instead of empty comments like 'we're working on it.' 'We're working on it is ok for a few days.' Weeks later it's nice to have a little more specifics.

Checking a tracking number daily for, what 36 days now, takes a toll on a persons patience. I do appreciate that you take the time to reply, please keep that up.

Great deal. I can't do the greatest hits stuff though...I just can't. I'll have to continue hunting a regular version at GS used.

Depends on which you're looking for, but for 2.5, be sure to check in store.  My store had 3 copies of 2.5 that were not greatest hits, and a bunch that were.  I dislike the red cases too, so I was pretty happy to find one that wasn't.  Price in store appears to be the same, at least it was here, if you don't want to bother with doing the order online. 

Nice deal, thanks for posting.
