It seems apt to open this review with a statement that gets straight to the point: Apache Overkill from Playerthree games is a side scrolling shoot ‘em up. In many ways, we could leave it at that, so barebones and pure is the game’s approach to the genre – but is it’s directness of approach such a bad thing?
Appera: Apache Overkill could be a pretty fun game on the iOS devices, but sadly the translation from web Flash game to iOS didn’t go as smoothly as we had expected.
STP - Whupa-whupa-whupa. That's the sound of a helicopter going overhead. That's all you really need to know about helicopters if you want to jump into the pilot's seat of Apache Overkill, a shoot-'em-up for the iPhone.
148apps - Apache Overkill is a fun for five minutes shoot em up but it lacks depth and substance to make it a must buy.
