Game Review: Danger Wing

June 2, 2011 No Comments

Danger Wing is a completely free game that puts you in the role of a pilot of your own fighter/spaceship. You get missions detailed during very entertaining cut-scenes that actually contain (gasp) an actual story. Too many games now a days onany mobile platform are missing an actual story behind the madness. The hand drawn characters on the cut-scenes after the missions and the conversations amongst them are a real treat .

The game itself has you going against space pirates. You go against a good amount of different kind of enemies all with their unique flying and weapons. The game itself feels like a modernized 1980’s arcade game. Instead of dying after a shot or 2 you actually have a health meter on the sides and can pick up a good amount of weapon upgrades that carry over to the next level.

Flying around and controlling your ship is also a breeze. The controls are very tight and also simple to play. Different challenges and leaderboards also add to the expereience.

Danger Wing developed by Paul Hoenecke is a really fun free game on Windows Phone 7 that should be picked up, especially if you are a fan of old school games. My only complaint is that it might run a bit short but it does look like the developer will be adding more levels in the future.

You are the Danger Wing. You’ve been assigned to investigate the recent rise in Space Pirate activity. Space Pirates have always been a minor threat in the area, but recently they have become more brazen. Who is responsible for uniting them? Why don’t they just get real jobs like the rest of us?
