While not as expansive or as detailed as Warframe, its draw on both FreeSpace and Star Fox franchises makes it relatable.Īs a standalone mod, you can play this massive experience for entirely free without having to purchase or install FreeSpace 2 or any other app. It feels like a game that is years ahead of either game. Built using Freespace Open, the free and open-source platform for creating custom content, the Event Horizon mod is rendered in smooth 3D. There is also a host of supporting characters, all available as talking 3D portraits.Ĭombining the Star Fox content into the FreeSpace 2 engine is where things get creative. Each of the pilots has their custom Arwings, or the flight crafts used by these characters. Play as or against Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad. Save your money for the power-ups that will help you crack more difficult levels.The best part about Star Fox: Event Horizon Mod is that it brings most of the characters from the Star Fox franchise. Although you can also spend currency to buy lives, the steady refresh rate - a new life every 30 minutes - means that there isn't much point. Since this is a mobile free-to-play app, in-game currency can of course be bought with actual currency.

Like extra lives, power-ups can be bought using in-game currency. These give you abilities such as the rainbow bubble, which matches the colour of any bubble it touches, or bombs that destroy all bubbles within a certain radius. To compensate for these more difficult levels, you'll gain access to some power-ups. As the game goes on, the target in the ghost levels gets smaller and smaller, making it trickier to hit. Drop large numbers of bubbles and you'll earn combo multipliers that help raise your score. In addition, hazards such as spiked bubbles will make it more challenging to hit your targets. The introductory level has only two colours, but more and more colours of bubble will appear as the game progresses. As the game goes on, more complexity starts to appear.
