HAWK vs Shooting Sky
HAWK
HAWK is a rather new, mobile arcade shooter game that pays homage to the glorious arcade days of the 90s where games like Strikers 1945, Raiden DX and even Galaga dominated arcade centers worldwide. Featuring an exciting and challenging gameplay, you'll pilot your aircraft through various airspace in an effort to defeat the overwhemling armada of the tyrannical Autocrats as well as the massive robots that they build. As you progress, you'll get to reoutfit your aircraft with a variety of upgrades for your guns, shields and boosters in order to be able to take on tougher enemies, but unfortunately, the game can be quite grindy since you'll need plenty of resources just to get an upgrade. That's not even including the upgrades you need for your BroBots - the two AI-controlled companion aircrafts that will help you in battle. That said, HAWK also has over 130 levels of outstanding arcade shooter experience that comes in three difficulty levels.As surprising as this may sound, there isn't as many great arcade shooters on mobile than you'd expect. However, HAWK is definitely one of the better ones. It may be grindy due to its freemium element, but gameplay-wise, the game can sate your arcade-style shooter fix for sure.
Shooting Sky
Shooting Sky is possibly the first of its kind - a completely-3D, space arcade shooter! The game doesn't really feature any storyline per se, but you'll get to pilot a rather cool spacecraft and shoot pretty lasers at things, be it space monsters, asteroids or anything that floats in your way, really. Naturally, you'll also be able to upgrade your spacecraft to enhance its monster-killing potential.Due to its 3D looks, it might be a bit harder to get used to at first, but once you get over all of that, you'll truly appreciate how different the game feels. Boss battles just feel a whole lot more intense and the bullet-storm you unleash feels just so satisfying. Not to mention, the game allows competitive play as well, so get ready to challenge your friends to beat your highest score.
Previously known as Astro Blitz Wings, Shooting Sky dares to innovate a classic genre and I'd say that its leap of faith paid off pretty well. The game is as fun as its trailer made it out to be, and it is able to give you a whole new perspective on the space arcade shooter genre. It doesn't get any better than that!
