The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Aero Strike is an air-combat game. There's nonstop shooting, but the violence never seems inappropriate, as it's a plane shooting down another, with no humans shown (other than the dogfight-intense introductory movie). Additionally, there's no inappropriate content to be concerned about, but the game pushes in-app purchases extremely aggressively, with ads on the start-up screen and through the in-game store. The game also encourages players to join a guild, which could mean communication with strangers, and to log in via their Facebook or Game Center accounts. To learn more about what it does with your information, read the publisher's privacy policy. (Note: It's in Korean, so you'll need to translate the page.)

What's it about?
In AERO STRIKE, players enter a series of missions to take down enemy fighters and helicopters, dodging bullets and picking up power-ups along the way. When enemies are especially challenging, the player can upgrade the ship to fight with drones and other offensive weapons. Players can build a fleet of up to 100 planes, each configured to their liking, and compare their score to other players around the world.
Is it any good?
While this is a sleek-looking game, there's something about this flight shooter that seems very familiar. Aero Strike owes a big debt to Capcom's 1942 Mobile, as it's essentially a modern remake of the arcade classic. The good news is, that's a very solid game to clone. The frenetic action remains entertaining, and dodging incoming fire as you focus your attack on powerful ships will keep you focused. But instead of focusing on the core gameplay, Aero Strike loads the game with upgrades for you to buy (such as a drone that flies in conjunction with you) and up to 100 planes. The result is a game that can get overwhelming and frustrate you with too many nudges to buy something, when all you want to do is shoot at the bad guy.
