A CLASSIC SHMUP, REBUILT FOR MODERN PLAYERS

Inspired by the golden age of vertical arcade shooters, Sky Force combines fast-paced aerial combat with smooth touch controls, handcrafted enemy waves, and intense bullet-dodging action. Every mission tests your reflexes, your timing, and your nerve when the screen fills with fire.

Longtime shoot 'em up fan? Bullet hell veteran? New to the genre? Sky Force is built to be polished, accessible, and deeply rewarding for every kind of pilot.

EXPLOSIVE 3D ARCADE ACTION

Sky Force upgrades the classic top-down shooter formula with stunning 3D environments, cinematic explosions, dynamic lighting, and beautifully designed battlefields. Fight across oceans, scorched war zones, military bases, and storm-filled skies as you push deeper into the campaign.

Every stage feels fast, readable, and satisfying. Perfect for quick mobile sessions, but deep enough to keep you coming back for that perfect run. Play online or take the action offline, anywhere you go.

EPIC BOSS BATTLES

Massive flying fortresses. Mechanized war machines. Screen-filling enemies armed with devastating bullet patterns.

Sky Force boss battles are spectacular and demanding. Learn their attacks, dodge incoming fire, strike at the right moment, and prove you have what it takes to become an ace pilot.

UPGRADE YOUR FIGHTER PLANE

This is more than a one-run arcade shooter. Sky Force rewards persistence, precision, and smart upgrades. Collect stars and build the ultimate fighter plane:

- Main cannon
- Wing cannons
- Missiles
- Lasers

- Health and armor

Rescue civilians, complete in-mission objectives, unlock new difficulty levels, and chase medals as you work toward 100 percent completion.

BUILT FOR REPLAYABILITY

Sadly, you added an update where if you died, you would have to watch a forced ad. Please, remove this ad feature or even decrease the times this happens to me. Deducted to 4 stars. Did I mention there is a bug where even if I already got the plane speed cards, my plane does not manuver faster? Fix this in your next update. If you want faster progression, buy the console or PC version. It's 3 times faster than mobile. (Edit as of May 27, 2026. May be my last edit of this review.)

A shadow of it's formal self. I'd bought the original game, and played it to death, recommended it to everyone. Bought it again on Xbox. Now, a couple of phones later, this version is just a IAP nightmare. The game is about grinding, but an ad after EVERY round? It's always the same with these greedy developers - hide behind time-locked content and ads, and annoy people enough to pay.

Thanks so much for the feedback! Ads help us keep the game free for everyone. If you’d rather play without ads, it’s easy to remove them — look for “Remove Ads” in the in-game Shop/Settings (one-time purchase). We’re also reviewing ad frequency to make sure it feels fair.

I liked everything about this game. I have never thought to apply a slow-down feature for when the finger is taken off the screen. I was surprised I'd never implimented that in any of my own games software. The SFX, GFX, and gameplay were all great. The voice work was cute. Nice girl. Gonna play it quite a bit. Nice to find I increased my skill the more I play and could also find it challenging the first few times. Good colour code with powerups and lasers, keeping them starkly different.
