Arc Squadron for iOS - Review

Hi everybody, this is Simon Sage from Imore today we are playing Arc Squadron it is a an on Rails space themed shooter recently launched in the IOS app store it's got really great graphics really simple gesture based controls uh you just basically drag your finger around to steer and wherever your uh wherever your uh crosshairs land that's where you just automatically start firing there we go let's let's give this a shot

So if you want to do barrel roll you just swipe one side or the other. Some pretty solid Graphics here this is one of the boss fights so if uh if you just this is tricky so you just have to um tap on the areas where you want to send any of your secondary weapons. So right now I have the Homing missiles but there are a variety of them available um some of them are simple utilities too so you've got Shields you've got decoys uh you can even get a squadron of Shipmates uh you can also upgrade the ship itself so that it has bit more Health a bit more uh Firepower in the basic lasers there uh there is a certain cool down on your secondary weapon so you have to wait for them to show up again this is getting pretty rough let's see if I can take this guy out oh no dice

So as you saw at the at the original title screen there you're scored based on how many enemies you take up. The regular levels have uh a different kind of bonus cubes flying around so yeah if you get a chain of them you get an extra an extra bonus in points. That currency can be used to add new skins to whatever ships you have and there are a lot of them and I think there's a dozen for every ship and there are lots of ships here. This is the one you start off with but you've got more than a couple of others and uh lots of different weapons here that you can buy and upgrade. So I've been putting a lot of cash into the Homing missiles but you've got uh you know a kind of a hologram to draw fire away from you you've got cluster weapons smart bombs Shields a little bit of everything and lots and lots of levels here.

So this was just the first boss but we've got a bunch of stages here and you can see that there's a couple of branching side missions here too uh taking into account that each of these levels also has a four star rating here. So even if you beat a level there's still a fair bit of replay value there. So I've been having a lot of fun with this game especially if you've got any history with uh with Star Fox you'll definitely feel right at home here and the controls are extremely well adapted for mobile uh the swipes for barrel rolls and uh the Taps for secondary weapons are all very natural and we've got some leaderboards there and a couple of achievements too. So it's all a lot of fun and you should definitely check it out.
