Is Sky Squadron worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…

- Players who enjoy replaying missions to pursue higher scores
- Friends seeking online co-op in an arcade shooter
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want direct, free-flight aircraft control may hit a wall with the rail-shooter structure.
- Players who prefer single-handed aiming may bounce off the two-handed gun handling.
- Players seeking a non-combat game may not fit the aerial battles against invading enemies.
Our take on Sky Squadron
The bounce point arrives at the gunner seat: the weapon is handled with both hands, and the rail-shooter format guides movement through mission routes. Players seeking free aircraft control may reach that limit as soon as aerial combat starts.
What is Sky Squadron?
Sky Squadron is a VR rail shooter about Keith Koala and his animal companions defending an island paradise from an invading empire.
Players take the gunner’s seat, hold the weapon with both hands, and aim at enemy fighters during aerial combat. Branching missions include varied challenges, giant bosses that can be dismantled piece by piece, and plane repairs during play. Online co-op allows a friend to join the fight, while global leaderboards record scores for every mission. The game combines an Australian setting and cast of animals with an arcade rail-shooter structure inspired by Star Fox and Panzer Dragoon. Players can replay missions to pursue higher scores and different mission paths.
