Gemini Strike: Space Shooter Wiki

This is one of my favorite games, the pacing is fine, the story still has my attention on sector 61, and despite being so small, the ships are sick. My only complaint is that this game hasn’t been updated in two years, but does it honestly need it? Refreshing the app to get the bounty and cargo missions nets you really quick loot and like every 10th run you get a secret item. Combine them with a ship like the mantis and you’re un-killable.

Reminds me of Sky Force Reloaded, although it's pretty different, and the story's actually pretty engaging. Unfortunately, as thing's get harder, the pacing suffers, but that's not enough to give it a bad score. EDIT: So I’ve noticed a “bug” perhaps. When you exit out of the game and come back in, the bounty, cargo, and raid missions are all instantly generated. This definitely makes it easier to accrue things, but...I have to wonder...is it TOO easy...?

This is one of this most challenging space shooting game I’ve played. It’s very fast paced, and CHALLENGING. But it has one flaw, the way to get credit is very hard. I know that you are able to watch an ad for extra credit, but those come very rarely. Overall, very amazing game, very challenging too, but credit is hard to come by.

One of the best shoot'em up games available today. It has everything a proper space drama fan could ask for. Modern yet classical UI, nostalgia inducing pixel designs, heart-pumping physics engine, engaging characters and storyline, great variety of ships and upgrades that prevents the game from becoming stale... It's magnificent.

Lots of potential... please keep updating and adding to it. More ships, maybe a screen that allows you to view the current ship with the upgrades on it! More background scenes. More special weapons!!!

Very fun once you get a decent ship and some items. My first suggestion is to make a cores to credits conversion, so that after you buy all of the core ships you can still use the cores for something. My second suggestion is to add more ships! After you get the core ships, anvindr, and the raikou (core ships plus 35 credit ships), the other ones are underwhelming. In other words add more late game stuff. Just a general note, regular crates are almost entirely useless, even in very late stages. The only usable accessories in the regular crates are the guns that give a chance for regular bullets to stun, which you then pair with a ship like the Akama for stun locks. It would be cool to make credits and regular crates a little more relevant.

I’ve played this game off and on for about 3 years. I’m currently on level/world 32. If you can beat the bounty and cargo missions consistently you’ll be ok, But around world 20 is when the gear starts getting harder to get. I’d spend days trying to get better gear of the cargo missions before moving on to the next world.

Graphics in this game are amazing and gameplay is really fun too, especially in higher levels, however I didn't really like the story mode or campaign part. Mostly kept going back through levels after I had completed the campaign, as that's what is more fun in my opinion..

This game is fun but it gets repetitive after a while. I like this game because of the story driven characters, but I wish Gemini Strike was way more story driven.

People talk about how they have trouble upgrading, getting lives, ads, and micro transactions. If you want to enjoy this I’d recommend doing the cargo and bounty hunt missions. But after doing them change the date ahead a day to do another to keep getting gear. That’s the best way to enjoy this game unless the devs come back and make changes. I’m okay with the ads as a way for them to get money. But without changing the dates to get good gear. The game is just gearing you up for pay to progress.

The game is difficult. It’s not an impossible “you lost a mission so it’s game over” but it is difficult. I would love a function where we can keep our “cargo” from mission until we can open them. It’s annoying to survive through one, only to find out I don’t have the credits or cubes to open the cargo. Good game, worth it if you have patience! -J

It's sad as this game has potential. However, the dev's. set the game up to make money through in app purchases(which are expensive) and a constant barrage of ads. I would spend some money on in-apps upgrades but I can see myself deleting the game because of the ads shortly after. You essentially get 2 lives per level, but you have to watch a 30 second ad to get the second life(or chance, whatever). Some of the higher levels are nearly impossible to complete in 1 chance(or two depending on the strength of your upgrades)so you are constantly watching ads only to fail and have to do it again. You can spend an hour trying to get past a level, but you spend 45 minutes of that hour watching ads so you never get into a rhythm. Offer an ad-free version and I will spend some money on upgrades.

I had this game I think two or three years ago and enjoyed it very much. But sadly once you get any kind of deep into the game you will slowly realize this app (like 90% of the rest of the game app market) gears you toward in app purchases. The game becomes so incredibly frustrating dealing with OP enemies while you’re still trying to deal with making your ship any kind of stronger than when you start the game off. If you can make it farther into the game then world 6 then I congratulate you. Major changes to the gem and credit system and nerfs to the black market to make it very less expensive to buy an upgrade would make me re download this game again. Until then this is just another game with EXTREME POTENTIAL that goes to waste with greedy developing.

Difficulty ramps up significantly within the beginning of the game (20 to 30mins), and as a result you will have to replay levels to grind for in game currency to upgrade your weapons or take the risk of paying for a lootcrate drop with 100 credits and getting a useless weapon/mod anyway. I’ve played this game since the iPhone 4S came out, I enjoy it time to time but the pay to win aspect makes it hard for me to WANT to play for more than a little.
