Interloper in IOS

Intense space combat sim

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

83/100

Interloper is a fast-paced, first-person space combat sim that feels like a modern tribute to classics like X-Wing or Colony Wars. On mobile, it manages to deliver a sense of scale and speed that is rarely seen, with dogfights that feel genuinely dangerous. The touch controls are intelligently mapped, though it truly shines when played with a controller.

The mission variety is excellent, ranging from stealthy reconnaissance to massive fleet engagements. The 'roguelike' elements—where you scavenge parts from fallen enemies to upgrade your ship—keep the progression feeling meaningful. It’s a graphically intensive, high-octane experience that proves mobile devices are capable of delivering true, deep space-combat simulation.
