Review: Wild Skies
Wild Skies is a retro adventure that is fast-paced and has a
level of skill that will challenge the best of you out there. The soundtrack is
thrilling and the gameplay experience is equally lavish and thrilling. In many
ways it’s a bit like going back and playing those old retro games; you know the
ones that had incredible game play ease, were not too challenging or complex and
were always loud and in your face.
In Wild Skies there are two planes flying over the ocean
which will both face dangerous enemy missile attacks. Your task is insanely
challenging in that you must steer your plane through the missiles and make
sure you do not get hit. However, there is a way of fighting back against the
missiles by picking up and raising your shields to destroy the missiles; this
works by directly flying your plane at the missiles as the shields act as an
ant-aircraft missile destroyer.
Wild Skies is your typical arcade style game that challenges
you to take it one step further each time. Just remember to pick up your
shields and defend your plane against the missiles and see if you can get more
points than your friends and family.
The action is never ending and you will always be flying
high speed, constantly avoiding missiles, always being forced to use your
shields and regularly challenging your mates to get a better score than you.
Right away you will be able to see just how similar these characteristics are
to the old style arcade flying games so often played out in the eighties.
