Wing Fighter

So I’ll start off by stating the obvious. It’s basically Sky Force but a roguelike version of it. While it pales in comparison it makes up for it in other areas such as customization and other game mechanics. Now, for glaring cons, if you want to play it for free be prepared to watch an ungodly amount of ads. To disable the adds you have to buy it for $30 and it doesn’t include anything else. The premium currency isn’t obtainable except for stage progression, leveling up, and an event you can play that gets harder. They should have a steady influx of diamonds for dailies but dailies actually give you items you get through normal gameplay. They basically force you to buy them in order to redeem the “10x draw with guaranteed fighter” which brings me to my next point. You can get keys that take the place of the 300 diamond crate but what if you save 10 keys? Nope, you can’t use them on the “10x draw with guaranteed fighter”. It’s really bad. The devs are more money grubbing than many others in this regard. They don’t give you enough diamonds to get that pack and don’t allow you to save up keys for it. Overall I love this game. If you loved Sky Force this game will scratch that itch. Just be forewarned about the things I mentioned.

the game is awesome. fun to play, excellent graphics, simple concept and the controls are smooth with precise response. the levels increase in difficulty for a good challenge but not to the point where it just frustrates you. additionally, the levels are not rushed and each level takes time to complete, which I personally like. overall, I think this game was extremely well done for a fun mobile play experience. the advertisements are not forced - this is crucial - I cannot say enough about how much this matters and I applaud the developers for making this decision. bravo, ultimately that and the gameplay is why they get five stars from me. the game also saves where you left off. this is a really nice feature, for example if you have to switch out and answer a text or make a call - you can switch back to the game and continue where you left off mid-game. This was a well thought out feature by the developers of a mobile game; great decision there. There is a strange glitch I am experiencing - possibly something related to my phone or something (not sure) but after 'docking' and opting to view the ad for bonus upgrades the game will become extremely slow and even the advertisements themselves will slow up as well. After about three the game freezes up (or is it the ad service?) and I have to shut it down and reopen again. Could be due to memory and could just be some kind of memory overflow bug that can be fixed so that's why I still give them five.

Warning: DO NOT play this game unless you are financially secure and able to spend some real money!!!! To do most anything in this game for free, you will have to watch ads ad nauseum…. A real pain believe me!!! In the end, you really cannot advance much in this game without paying real money because ads make it tedious to play long term. I am lucky enough to have a great job and don’t really spend money on anything else (don’t eat out, house is paid off, and only spend on bills) so I have not minded spending the $30 to be ad free forever and buying occasional diamond packs, etc. If you do not spend money in this game, it will take forever to make any meaningful advances and I am sure you will get tired of the ads and move on; trust me!!!! (Perhaps try Lightning Fighter 2 which is more reasonable and you can get by without spending your rent on in-game purchases to advance and level up) All that said, the game is entertaining so I give it five stars….
