Sky Force Anniversary vs Vanquish
Sky Force Anniversary
Sky Force Anniversary brings Sky Force to platforms other than Android and iOS, namely PC and consoles, allowing even more players to enjoy its exhilarating arcade shooting action. It is basically similar to Sky Force 2014 on mobile and features everything you'd expect to find in the latter, including challenging enemies and bosses, large number of missions, weekly PvP tourneys, an in-depth airplane upgrade system along with a wide variety of planes to fly as and weapons to blast enemies into smithereens. In this version, you can also play the game cooperatively with a friend through the game's local multiplayer option.Oddly enough, despite its similarities to Sky Force 2014, Sky Force Anniversary is available on Android as well. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure the game doesn't support cross-platform cooperative gameplay so you can't exactly play with your friend cooperatively if he is on the PC and you on your phone.
Sky Force Anniversary is the best (and only) version of Sky Force that you can get for Nintendo Wii, PlayStation (3, 4 and Vita), and Xbox Live, but if you want to play the game on your mobile, you can get either the Anniversary version (Android only) or the 2014 version.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
