  1. Aegis Wing is a pretty decent looking and sounding 2D side-scrolling shooter with a nice twist on co-op multiplayer. The free price tag somewhat makes up for the lack of ship variation and small number of levels.
  2. It’s an excellent diversion when you just want to play something simple and fun with your friends for an hour or two.
  3. Despite being a bit basic in its presentation, Aegis Wing is a fun shooter for any group that can work together. [Sept 2007, p.69]
  4. There’s no question that Aegis Wing is fun and challenging, but it would be a hard sell if it wasn’t a giveaway.
  5. Yes, it’s free. It’s also repetitive, tedious, unambitious and boring. You know how they say “time is money”? Don’t spend your time on this game.
  6. The levels that you fly through have all been seen a hundred times before. [Issue 28, p.118]
  7. This is a very basic, very rubbish side-scrolling shooter with some knobs on. [Aug 2007, p.92]

    It's free, it has achievements, and it's fun when you play it with friends.
  2. Aegis Wing is a rich featured, well polished, well designed and great produced shmup game out there. And it's free, what is superb. I didn't expect much from a free space shooter, but after half hour playing it on-line I was totally addicted to it -- had to get all achievements in a heartbeat. Remarkable game. Highly recommended.
