## Description

**Strike Fighters** is an action-packed modern jet combat game for iPhone. Use tilt controls to fly fighter aircraft, engage in intense air-to-air dogfights, evade surface-to-air missiles, and destroy enemy ground forces with precision-guided weapons.

Generate random missions for near-infinite replayability across air-to-air and air-to-ground battles. Level up, earn credits, unlock advanced aircraft, and explore combat zones inspired by Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Desert Storm, the Cold War, Vietnam, and Allied Force. Optional in-app purchases add aircraft, locations, historical squadrons, mission setup, and custom loadouts. The app includes advertising.

## Review summary

Strike Fighters is praised for its depth and breadth: a large roster of planes, missions, and weapons with solid historical realism and accessible play. However, reviews repeatedly flag issues: persistent IAP problems (lost purchases, disappeared stores, broken restore), post-update stability and compatibility bugs (crashes and crashes on newer iOS devices), and monetization frustrations (ads). They also demand more content and better controls (more helicopters and eras, carrier takeoff/landing, controller support, longer mission time). Some note paid features being removed after updates. Overall, strong concept hampered by stability and monetization challenges.

### Pros

- Extensive content: large roster of planes, missions and weapons with solid historical realism.
- Accessible and easy to pick up, yet with depth for longer campaigns.
- High production quality and overall modern combat sim experience.

### Cons

- IAP problems and restoration failures (lost purchases, stores disappearing, restore button removed).
- Ads appearing in the bottom UI and other monetization frustrations.
- Stability and compatibility issues after updates (crashes, won't launch on newer iOS/devices).
- Requests for more content and better controls (more helicopters, more eras, carrier takeoff/landing, controller support).
- Paid features removed or changed after updates (removal of paid packs/contents).
