This game is like all of these rotten mobile games. They’re all scams to have you paying loads of $$ to stay competitive. I’m not a kid or from the game console generation. I come from the generation where you paid an upfront price and then got something worth that money. In short, once you spend any money on this game and build your ship’s ability the game becomes impossible to win. However, after a period of free play and no money spent the game become boring and too slow and having to watch long ads. So, I went and spent $4.99 and used the credits to improve my ship and suddenly it’s impossible to finish a mission. The enemies become harder to kill while simultaneously sending out an impossible amount of firepower. Well, they got my $5 bucks and now I will delete the game. What’s irritating is I know how these “freemium” games are, but I thought I would give it a try because it looked like a good time waster and stress reliever. LOL!!!!! Oh, and I suppose I could spend more money and buy a more able ship, but before you realize you’ve spent $30 or more to play a game no more impressive than games from the 1970’s. No thanks.

I've been playing Phoenix II since its creation, and after many games played to upgrade my ships fully, I suddenly find they are no longer as powerful as they once were. I have to pay yet again to bring them to the "ultimate" level. I'm all for new features, but this one comes at the expense of those devoted players who have spent a lot of time and or money upgrading their ships. Perhaps if our previously "maxed" out ships would have been automatically upgraded to "ultimate" on this release, my opinion would be different, but this feels like their telling me it's time to pay up to keep playing. Can this please be rectified, Firi?

Update and Downgrade to 2 Stars: I've continued to play through my different ships and keep coming to the same conclusion: my previously maxxed out ships are now weaker than before. And the final "ultimate" upgrade tier is twice as expensive as it used to be. C'mon guys, I know you have to make payroll, but let's not step on the loyal following to get there.

I’ve been playing this game pretty much since it was first released, and it’s hands down one of the best bullet hell game on the app store. For the most part, I’ve found the difficulty to be balanced, and each league/rank feels fair. As many others have said, the freemium model of the game means that in-game currency is scarce, and the odds of obtaining rare ships are pretty steep. Even this wasn’t that big of a deal, I was willing to put the time in. However, after coming back to the game a few years later and working my way back up to the higher ranks, I am absolutely seething over the controls. As with most bullet hells, your ship/player has a tiny hitbox relative to its sprite, which in theory would let you graze through dense areas of bullets within a few pixels. However, the touch controls feel loose or less responsive than they used to, and the ridiculous screen shake that occurs when you destroy any ship on screen means that more often than not you die. I would greatly appreciate an option to disable screen shake effects, or more clearly indicating to players that a row of bullets is impassable.
