Steam Birds: Survival App for iPhone Review
The user favorite, turn-based WW II dogfighter game is back! Spryfox has joined hands with Halfbrick Studios to bring to life Steam Birds: Survival, with lots of improvement to the tested formula. Steam Birds: Survival iPhone game app involves you steering various WW II themed aircraft, while dodging enemy aircraft attack. You’ll never know when the next wave of attack comes, and there lies the thrill of gaming. It is also a game of strategy and reflex. Steam Birds: Survival game app for iPhone can be downloaded free of cost from Apple iTunes.
How Steam Birds: Survival App Works?
When you start Steam Birds: Survival iPhone application, you’ll be given a specific target: either to survive several wave of enemy aircraft attack or kill certain number of enemies. There are eight cities to fight in, each having its own set of planes. After completing the objective, you can opt to stay on and fight to death for extra copper. The copper can be used to buy ally planes (hire wingmen) or unlock new cities.
Unlike games such as Fire Emblem or Shining Force, you are not restricted on a grid in Steam Birds: Survival. Instead, you can virtually fly your aircraft anywhere, but each ‘turn’ only permits to travel a certain distance. During each turn, you can adjust the fight path, alongside using power-up items such as speed boosts, missiles, poison clouds, and 180-degree spins. During dogfights, the spins come handy.
Once you hire wingmen, and got at least three planes up in the sky simultaneously, iPhone Steam Birds: Survival game app becomes engrossing as all movement happens once, including enemy planes, and you can’t be sure of your course of action was the right one until the last moment. At times, you got to predict the outcome of some engagements and act accordingly if you were to last long enough in the game. Also, the enemy waves could appear out of the blue, and you should be prepared to use your power-up items wisely to negotiate the barrage. The game is all about survival, and you got to strive for it.
The graphics is slick, so are the sound effects. Thanks to iPhone’s power, the game performs smoothly.
Conclusion
Steam Birds: Survival app for iPhone is equally challenging and engrossing; you got to fight for your survival, and that is where it becomes riveting. If your preference is a turn-based game with a difference, don’t think twice.
