Gemini Strike

Hello peoples. Today I'm blogging about another iOS game here it goes.

The game I'm blogging about is called Gemini Strike. You are a clone fighter pilot that protects earth and comes back every time he dies. While you are fighting enemies you earn gems and credits and you can find cargo by destroying cargo ships that happen upon your path. With gems you can open the cargo boxes to get most of the time common parts to equip to your ship. Parts have combinations of three stats, armor, HP, and damage to add to your ship. Most of them also have an effect like lasers, EMPs, healing, rockets, etc. you can also open cargo boxes from the black market using credits and these parts are rare and more valuable. Finally you can go on secret missions that are harder than others to find cargo boxes that cost less credits to open and have even better parts. Credits have one more use. You can also use credits to buy ships. There are 7 different models of ships so far. Each model has it's unique effect plus stat bonuses. The more expensive model you buy the more devastating the effect will be and the higher the stat bonuses will be.

Each sector has around 4-5 missions in it before you get to the last mission which has a boss. In the missions most enemies will die in one shot, are small, and have one type of attack. You will also get bigger mini bosses that have a health bar at the top next to yours. Destroying these, and the cargo ships will grant you things called reactors. Reactors appear at the bottom of the screen and double tapping the screen or tapping it will activate it. Reactors will give you effects based on their color for example green are rockets and pink is a huge laser. It only lasts for a few seconds and then is gone. If you get a new reactor without using the old one it will just replace it. The boss at the end of each sector is a very large black ship with a lot of health and multiple attacks. There are also 3 other types of missions. In these you don't have weapons. In the blockade missions you have to maneuver around lasers. In meteor missions you dodge meteors and in mine missions you dodge mines.

Gemini strike also has some really good music and sound effects that go with the space battles perfectly. I also like how the battlefield extends beyond the screen border a and the camera follows you so you actually have room to dodge the lasers. My favorite feature is definitely the high level of customization you can have on a ship.

Bye.
