iFighter 1945 vs Sky Force Anniversary
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!
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.
