Metalstorm: Modern Air Combat in IOS

Multiplayer PVP Shooter Online

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

83/100

Metalstorm is a high-octane aerial combat game that finally brings a modern feel to the 'dogfighting' genre on mobile. The graphics are some of the best I've seen in a flight sim, with detailed plane models and beautiful skyboxes. What really stands out is the control scheme—it strikes a perfect balance between arcade accessibility and simulation depth.

The multiplayer is where the game truly shines. The 5v5 team battles are intense, requiring you to actually work with your teammates to pull off maneuvers and protect each other. Unlocking new jets like the F-14 or the Su-27 feels like a real achievement. If you've ever wanted to feel the 'need for speed' in the palms of your hands, Metalstorm is the definitive choice.
