Angels In The Sky brings Unreal Engine 4 aerial combat to iOS

Angels In The Sky brings Unreal Engine 4 aerial combat to iOS

Nothing like cutting-edge graphics to help sell a game, right? Angels In The Sky, an Unreal Engine 4 powered iOS title, is a futuristic aerial combat "simulator" with an obscene amount of graphical effects and everything else a game in that genre needs to offer. Namely, this is a futuristic arsenal - mostly lasers - and lots of flying opponents manning awesome battleships. Contrary to the title, there are no docile angels whatsoever to be found here.

To beat them to the ground, you will have to upgrade your armory, boost your shield, and manoeuvre like a veteran space pirate. It's up to you to develop an unique playing style by attaching yourself to particular weapons and carefully timing each move and shot. The fast-paced gameplay will test your reflexes, with foes flying in and crashing from left and right. And then you have the gigantic bosses that obliterate you with size alone - just like in the old days!

Although Angels in the Sky is as graphics-intensive as a mobile game could be these days, it runs smoothly on the iPhone 5s, iPad Air, and iPad mini with Retina display. Yes, you need a recent device to enjoy the laser-fighting extravaganza, and it's games like this that could push many of you to eventually upgrade to the iPhone 6 or the next iPad. The game costs $2.99 and is available in the App Store.

Smartphones and tablets can't bring you a better gaming experience than pc or console. I don't have an ios device but i'm not jealous, in the other side i'm proud having a pc.

If you're talking about personal gaming then yes, PC. But in terms of the entire gaming experience, community, and unlimited plethora of games, CONSOLE is far more superior.

IMO the PC experience is far better consoles Better community (and more mature/skilled) Far cheaper games (bundles and constant sales) More games (and wider variety) Better graphics and framerates And mods, barely any console games allow mods

PS Vita. If you do not know already, look into the PS Vita with PS4 and how they are made to work together. It's truly and outstanding gaming experience.

3DS???! Good one. Btw, good racing and flight games are abundant on mobile, and are absolutely at home with gyroscopic controls. I've played Real Racing 3, the most played and profitable race game on the planet, for 150 hours, and know people who have done so for up to 500 hours. Galaxy on Fire 2 beats any space game on vita or.. 3DS(LOL) by a landslide. And Sky Gamblers is brilliant too

You just made me lose my faith in future of gaming. You seem to only care for graphics if you say 3DS is a joke. Games are not about graphics (or rather they should not be). It's about the innovative gameplay and fun/interesting story and good controls. Gyroscopic controls ideal for racing games? Lmfao. It's a gimmick. It's inaccurate and on a phone its hard because screen moves in fron of you. Good example is Mariokart on Wii or Wii U. There is a poasibility to use motion controls, but in reality none of the better players actually uses them. I've played RR3 a little too. I admit that the graphics are pretty good for mobile. But the controls are horrible and physics/dynamics are so off that I really wonder why it's even called "real" anymore. GOF2. Yeah. Lmfao my Nokia N9 runs it 60fps thats how graphically intensive it is. Gameplay is slow and boring. And as for almost any mobile game it's EASY AS HELL.

Much more importantly, can he bring a pc to the bed or a couch? I absolutely hate being forced to sit by the desk.

Buy a Nvidia shield and stream your pc games to the tablet in bed. Best of both worlds ;) Also you can place the pc near your tv set and game on the couch if you want. Their are such things as gamepads for pc and wireless input devices ;)

Oh god. Ok. #1 There is a replay button on this site so you can directly respond to comments #2 Does the fact that it belongs into aerial combat genre make it good? You most love all those flash games on the internet. And a 50$ old PC is enough to play those #3 Unreal engine 4 makes it amazing? Really? You kidding me? I could make a game with Cry Engine and it would still look and play like a horrible C64 game. #4 Time for you to try a console or PC ps. Not going to go into your grammar because it's understandable if you don't use English that much

Wow you should not be getting on someone about grammar after what you just spat out. "There is a replay button on this site so you can directly respond to comments" "it belongs into aerial combat genre" - First off its "reply" not "replay". - Did you mean to say "belongs in an aerial combat genre"? - Also your use of periods is lacking, just saying. ps. You should proof read before you comment on someone else's grammar.

Run this game on Android. 5 seconds later, crash. If lucky, stuck on infinite lagged out screen. (you'll get to stare at the pretty artwork you won't be able to experience).

It was a joke. I just think its funny how people think the iPhones battery sucks. I use my Nexus and iPhone on a daily basis and both last me a good 8 hour work shift. It really depends on the user, something most people here are ignorant about. My friends Note 3 lasts 5 hours. FIVE hours for a 3000++++ mAH battery. My bros Note 3 lasts 2 days. Am I making sense now?

"Identically" Since when is the iPhone and Android phones compared "identically" (from a Fandroids perspective lol) (unless it's losing in some department) (which in that case, go ahead, compare "identically" lol)
