Mobile Augmented Reality

The first thing we want to say about the new app Sky Seige from Simbiotics Ltd is “Wow!” Right off the bat the App Store description hints at the fact that you will “Stand up and fight! Literally!!” and that the battle will be “360 degrees in every direction!” The is undeniably true as the action is fast and frantic, and will have you spinning.

When you first launch the app you are presented with  ‘Go’,  ‘Settings’ and  ‘Guide’ buttons. Inside the settings you can choose your difficulty level and filtering. The guide explains how to play the game, and what the various on-screen elements indicate such as the weapon selector, ammunition levels, zooming etc. After pressing the  go button your rocket launcher comes up in  first person shooter style and as you turn your iPhone around, you can see inside the virtual world which consists of a grassy floor and blue cloudy sky. The enemies including helicopters and blimps start flying at you from every angle and it is your job to shoot them down. It’s actually quite thrilling as the helicopters buzz past you with guns blazing as you spin around to shoot them with a rocket! You can choose ‘augmented reality’ mode and the camera view is used as the background making for quite an immersive gaming experience! There is much to this game that we haven’t covered such as ammo crates at your feet for reloading and much more. During our review we found Sky Seige to be an insanely fun augmented reality experience and it comes with our highest recommendation. Don’t hesitate to pick this one up today.
