What players say

Players praise BACKFIRE as a tight, addictive arcade shooter with a clever twist on the Asteroids formula. The weapons are varied and each one changes how you move, creating a high skill ceiling that feels fair, not cheap. Some find it brutally difficult, especially later chapters, but the permanent upgrades keep runs feeling rewarding.
