iFighter 1945 vs PWND
iFighter 1945
iFighter 1945 is the earlier, original first game developed by EpicForce Entertainment - the later game being iFighter 2: The Pacific 1942. The game is still set in World War II where you play as an Allies ace pilot who has been given a critical mission to destroy the Axis' secret weapon prototypes. The campaign in this game is spread across 8 challenging missions, each with 3 difficulty settings and an intense boss fight at the very end.You also get to pilot one of 5 fighter jets which can be further upgraded and customnized as well. Similar to the later sequel, the game features 4 control modes, ranging from touch controls to joypad.
Granted that iFighter 1945 is the older game and thus, has older-looking graphics, the game surprisingly holds up even until today. If you've loved playing iFighter 2 and would like to take a step back to try the first game, well... this is it!
PWND
PWND is a team-based, competitive MMOFPS with an arcade-styled gameplay which will remind you of Quake Champions, Unreal Tournament and other similar games. The game features a lineup of uniquely different characters that you can play as, each with their own sets of skills and stats.Considering that this game can have quite the high skill ceiling, it's great that you can get a feel for the game via its Practice Mode where you battle against bots. Once you're ready, you can dive into some epic shootouts in the 3-vs-3 Quick Play mode. The game also offers a single-player 20-level gauntlet, which again is remisniscent of Unreal Tournament.
Taunting your opponents (and getting taunted in return) is part and parcel of PWND so this game isn't exactly the sort that "snowflakes" play. Instead, you should take those taunts in stride and better your game just so you can have fun getting sweet revenge! Needless to say, the game does provide quite a number of funny and outrageous taunts that you can play around with.
All in all, PWND is a really amazing free-to-play title that fans of Quake and Unreal Tournament would enjoy. It has a pretty fair microtransaction system, and if it can get a healthy player base to keep going, you may get to enjoy more maps, game modes, and characters in the future as well.
