NeoGeo shooter Aero Fighters 3 now available for cell phones

SNK and Hamster have announced the latest retro classic to be ported to mobile devices, benefiting from the ACA NeoGeo collection. This time around, SNK takes on classic shooters like Aero Fighters 3. The game is truly old school, with nothing but a top-down view and non-stop bombing action.

ACA Neo-Geo is a godsend for retro gaming fans, with new releases almost every week. They range from fighting games like Samurai Showdown to beat-em-ups like Fatal Fury to old-school side-scrolling games like Metal Slug 4. All of these classics are on offer, and the library grows every day, so there really is something for everyone.



As for Aero Fighters 3, if you've played shooters before, it's pretty easy to explain. The player assumes the role of a fighter, who shoots enemies as the stages get progressively more difficult. Everything is from a vertical perspective and all enemies come directly from the top of the screen.

This loop is refreshed with the introduction of various weapons and power-ups that can be obtained as you progress through this vertical landscape. These weapons range from shotgun blasts to additional missiles and power-ups like shields that protect you from an extra life or the occasional hit.

The interesting thing about Aero Fighters 3 is that it has a real storyline, with multiple endings and even routes. If you're a fan of the genre, it's worth the low price.
