Sky Force Reloaded (Android)

RATING:
4 out of 5

PRICE:
$2.99

TASTY:
Dodge and roll your plane across colorful battlefields in this addictive vertical shooter.

BUMMER:
Forces you to replay levels if you don’t cause enough carnage. What is this, an exam?

COOL:
Auto-firing your weapons means you’ll be able to concentrate on dodging your baddies and their fire.

REVIEW:
Since the early days of Galaga in the local arcade we’ve been blasting away at never-ending streams of plane, tanks, helicopters, and other enemies who vertically scroll our way down the screen. Sky Force Reloaded ($2.99) brings this familiar dodge, roll, and shoot-fest to the DROID, and not a moment too soon.

You’ll auto-fire your way through each level, keeping a close eye on the percentage meter. Didn’t take down enough baddies? Too bad, start over kid. And don’t get cocky, because this app gets crazy-hard on, well, Hard mode.

You may find that your fingers get cramped after a few minutes of play, but it’s all in good fun. Drag your fighter over the battlefield to collect power ups and shield boosts, all while taking in the scenery.
Vertical shooter fans will find lots to love in this title, including its soundtrack.

So if you’re itching to take on an entire army all by yourself, give Sky Force Reloaded an install. You’ll be glad you did.
