iFighter 1945 vs Unreal Tournament
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!
Unreal Tournament
Unreal Tournament by Epic Games is not the 1999, old-school version by the way - it is a brand-new, work-in-progress version that can support up to 4k resolution. This newer version of Unreal Tournament also added several new dodge styles to the frantic jumping and sprinting gameplay that all Unreal games are famous for. However, despite its brilliant new graphics and gameplay tweaks, the game retains the core of what made Unreal Tournament incredibly popular back in the day - all its intense fragging, maze-like maps, power-ups and most importantly, a community of friendly yet competitive players to play the game with.Although Unreal Tournament has been under development for quite some time now (since 2014), it's interesting to note that Epic Games lets players enjoy the game as it is being developed and they really take fans' feedback and suggestions into consideration. So, despite technically being an unfinished game, Unreal Tournament is already operational... meaning you can now play it... and best yet, it's free-to-play.
So, if you longed for a modernized and improved version of Unreal Tournament, this is the game to play.
