AirAttack HD vs PWND
AirAttack HD
AirAttack HD is an award-winning vertically-scrolling, top-down arcade shoot-'em-up where you get to assume the role of an up-and-coming ace pilot. Featuring an intense, bullet-hell-like gameplay, you'll get to fight against a wide variety of enemies while piloting a nice selection of unique aircrafts which you upgrade and customize to your liking as well. The game is a mainly single-player game and as such, it offers plenty of exciting missions for you to embark on, each of which has 3 difficulty modes. Aside from campaign missions, there are even arcade and survival modes for you to truly put your skills to the test.What makes AirAttack such a popular game though is not only because of its real-time physics and destructible environments, but also because of its intuitive combat which is delivered through a whopping 7 control types - Touch, Relative, Tilt, Joypad, Mouse, Keyboard, and Gamepad. Having a World War theme helps a lot as well!
AirAttack HD is a somewhat older mobile game though and as such, its graphics might not be comparable to its latest sequel, AirAttack 2, but overall, the original AirAttack is still a very entertaining game to play and it manages to hold up to today's arcade standards.
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.
