Features:
Daredogs is set in a universe where dogs fly around in planes and battle each other in tournaments. Once you’ve gotten your head around that concept, prepare to be immersed in a game of wits and skillful flying, of bones and pirates, of near misses and parachutes. The main hero of the game is Bravo, whose father was shot down by Rocco- another competing pilot. There’s some kind of bad blood between them and this story is the reason why Bravo is now competing himself.
Controls are super easy and simple to pick up. You have a thumb pad on the left of the screen which controls the direction in which you fly and on the right there is a shooting tab and a special weapons button. Special weapons depend on the dog you are flying with- Bravo for example has a ‘bone’ weapon which distracts his competitor.
There are various modes of play which include; Race- beat your competitor to the end of the course, Dog fight- air battle that is the best out of 5, Capture the bone- where you have to capture and defend a bone from your competitor before taking it to a platform and Pirate Heist- where you fight to collect pirate booty as it is thrown from a pirate airship. This all creates a thrilling and diverse gameplay that enables the it to feel fresh and interesting.
I really enjoyed playing Daredogs (and that’s despite being more of a ‘cat’ person!) Gameplay is genuinely exciting and fun from the very first round. The differing modes present alternative challenges which make the game feel refreshing each time you play it. You can make in-app purchases of various items and 10% of proceeds will go towards dog charities, which is a lovely thing to see in the Google Play Store.

Fun Factor:
Daredogs is a thrilling game that is fun to play and hard to put down. Zipping around the skies shooting at other aircraft is excellent and hugely enjoyable. The way the game introduces various modes of gameplay throughout the is really good and means the game never really feels repetitive or monotonous.
Addictive:
Yes, definitely! The game has a great learning curve and it keeps you coming back for more. It’s certainly going to be popular with people that love flying games and the exciting battles mean the game feels very different experience each time you play it.
Graphics:
I don’t think the screenshots really do the game justice. The graphics, while 2D, are excellent; very well crafted and full of detail. The characters are cutely designed and brilliantly animated.
Accelerometer, Vibration & Sound:
Daredogs features a variety of rich sounds that work perfectly with the gameplay. From cool sound effects while fighting to a soaring musical score that compliments the game’s theme.
