Take The Fight To The Clever Foxes Clan
The world is under attack from the rogue Clever Foxes Clan, whose coordinated assault has already overwhelmed reconnaissance units and breached coastal defences. With communications down and ground forces scattered, an elite squadron is left to stop the enemy from taking control.
That means climbing into a state-of-the-art fighter jet and tackling a series of dangerous operations across sprawling fields, bustling cities and treacherous seas. Missions range from intercepting incoming warheads to destroying heavily fortified ground targets, with enemy aircraft, submarines and aircraft carriers adding to the trouble.
Every sortie demands quick reactions and accurate shooting, as relentless enemy fire makes even reaching your objective a challenge.
30 Missions Of Retro-Inspired Combat
Angle Of Attack embraces a pixel-art aesthetic, pairing its retro presentation with a variety of combat scenarios. Across 30 challenging missions, players will face more than 30 types of enemy units operating across land, sea and air.
The action isn’t limited to shooting down aircraft, either. Huge air fortresses, hardened ground targets and naval threats all feature, keeping the battlefield varied as the campaign progresses.
Three difficulty modes are available, giving players a choice of challenge as they work through the missions and attempt to bring the Clever Foxes Clan’s offensive to an end.
Ready For Take-Off?
At £5.99, Angle Of Attack offers a focused arcade-style shooter built around aerial combat, mission objectives and a retro visual style. With 30 missions to complete and a range of enemy forces to overcome, there’s plenty of opportunity to test your reflexes in the cockpit.
The skies aren’t going to clear themselves, and the Clever Foxes Clan certainly aren’t planning to surrender. Time to get airborne.
You’ll find versions on the Xbox Store, on Steam, the PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop. Take your pick.
