A space shooter where the object is to survive for as long as you can in hazardous conditions.
Space Fighter 2160 is a vertical scrolling space shooter where you are in a ship and have to shoot a whole lot of enemy space ships which are heading your way.
The graphics in this game are not too special, the ships look the same (for the most part) and mostly things are difficult to manoeuvre around or avoid. The stars in the background are pretty horribly tiled, too.
The game play is about as original as the graphics, it’s slow and clunky. As said before it’s hard to move because you’re slow and the bullets travel at such a speed that it would take twice as long to avoid one than it does. Also later in the game, some ships come from behind you with no warning, if one happens to turn up behind your ship, there is no way to avoid it.
There is no music and only some simple sound effects and these add nothing to the game play value.
So in all it’s a rather bland space fighting game and could be given a miss without and fear of missing out on anything.
Space Fighter 2160 is one of the better 2D shooters out there. It is simple but fun to play and beat your previous scores. Once you get past a certain number of points (if you don't totally suck) you can get the ability to shoot from multiple places at once which helps you shoot more than one target at once. New enemies will also come once you have surpassed a certain number of points. You can move up and down as well as left and right which you will need to do, to dodge the enemies that come from behind you. Its not very difficult once you get the hang of it. Over all this is a good game that you should try.
