Review Thorium Wars: Attack of the Skyfighter (3DS eShop)
Thor' real
It’s not that space shooters don’t exist on Nintendo systems, but there’s certainly not enough of them to keep cockpit-hopping fans from feeling parched. 3PM Games took advantage of this vacuum by releasing Thorium Wars on DSiWare and now, just like the alien antagonists of the series, it's back with Thorium Wars: Attack of the...

About The Game
Humanity thought that it's victory in the war with the Thorions, a race of fearless war machines run amok, would restore peace to the Earth.

It's up to you to go on the attack against the Thorions and defeat them in battle once more. Pilot your choice of three Skyfighters across alien worlds to protect human colonies and destroy Thorion forces. Blast away at hulking mechs, menacing gun turrets, and swarming drones. Push your dogfighting skills to their limits against adept Thorion Skyfighters.

- Earn medals at every level of difficulty by completing missions with minimal losses
- Use new Boost maneuvers to dodge gunfire and power-up your piloting skills

This feels so nostalgic. I feel like I've played an old PC game like this years ago.
I'm ready for this one as well — the DSi version flew under my radar but I really like this kind of game. It's the closet we're likely to get to a portable Rogue Squadron.
A little late with this comment, but overall this is a pretty good sci-fi shooter, with medals to earn and different difficulties to play through, you can go back and replay missions to try and get better medals, the combat is good, there's a good variety of different scenery too throughout the different missions. Oh and you can do a Star Fox style barrel roll!
Things that could have been improved, would have been nice to see a wider selection of aircraft and a wider of selection of weapons, and maybe some online feature whether if it's multiplayer or even just a leaderboard with ranking who can complete missions in fastest time.
All up though this game is pretty underrated and it deserved more attention, it's sad that it will disappear when the 3ds eshop closes, but I am glad I got it before it closed.
