Like the classic space shooters of yore, Warblade is heavy on action, light on story, gorgeous to look at, and absurdly fun to play. Unlike the dozens of Space Invader and Galaga clones out there, Warblade doesn’t just set out to recreate the retro look of the originals, but instead emphasizes, in their words, “very good playability,” and that’s not just lip service. Although it would be easy to write this off as “just another classic shooter”, there’s nothing “just” about Warblade. With a title that lights a fire in your belly and grows hair on your chest, Warblade far surpassed my hopes for another Galaga-esque shooter on the iPhone.
