Why we picked this?

Star Horizon truly has it all. The visuals will be the first thing to draw you in, as they’re a great way to show off what your iDevice is capable of. But the gameplay is what Star Horizon is all about. It’s not only a fantastic arcade space shooter, it’s also a fun ride. You’ll get to blast your enemies to bits while making important decisions along the way. The AI embedded in your ship only allows you five seconds to make up your mind, so you’ll have to stay on your toes.

It’s a total blast. Fans of the genre will have no problem getting into it. Star Horizon also supports third-party game controllers, adding another level of fun to the experience.

The game requires an iPad 2, iPhone 4s, or iPod touch 5 or above.

If you enjoy pick-up-and-play games, this one is perfect for you. There’s no need for instructions. Just tap with precision.
