Shooting Sky vs Sky Force Anniversary
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!
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.
