Sky Force Reloaded vs Vanquish
Sky Force Reloaded
Sky Force Reloaded is what I call a "throwback Sky Force" - a game that is intended to give players a nice throwback look at the old Sky Force that has a whole lot less "polishing" unlike Sky Force 2014. The game is still beautiful in its own way and the intense, bullet-hell-like gameplay is as addictive as ever. The game provides players with brand-new missions, more challenging enemies and bosses, as well as a satisfying number of planes to play as. Each plane you pilot can be upgraded and there are even buff cards that you can collect while you're in a game.When it comes to vertically-scrolling arcade shooters for mobile devices, Sky Force is possibly the best and longest-standing franchise and you'll get to take a look at the game's older original via this Reloaded version. However, if you're looking for a better looking game, you might enjoy Sky Force 2014 instead.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
