HAWK vs Just Cause 2
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.
Just Cause 2
Just Cause 2 is the explosive sequel to the popular and incredibly cinematic "destruction galore", third-person action adventure game, Just Cause. Offering players a whole new map (another tropical island called Panau) to explore in the game's wide variety of land, sea, and sky vehicles along with Rico's wingsuit, you can now perform stunts like never before since the game now allows you to free fall, base jump, vehicle surf, skydive, para sail, slingshot, and more. You can also dual wield your grappling hook in Just Cause 2, allowing epic scenes of you dangling in between two helicopters possible. You can even have fun racing on the many circuits on the island.Unlike the previous game, the physics in this one is a lot more realistic as well, lending the game a deeper form of immersion it needs to distance itself from the dark trench that's called "arcade-like". There are plenty of missions (of all lengths) for you to complete too!
As you might have also gleaned so far, the game retains its over-the-top animations, so if you fancy yourself an action film actor, this game series is the closest you can get to actually being one. So, looking to destroy some stuff and walk away backed with a glorious fiery explosion? You can experience all of that and more in Just Cause 2 (or any of the more recent Just Cause games).
