Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We loved this game on our old iPad. We hope they update it to work on latest is,.
The Game needs a update for iOS 11.
This is our favorite offline game we can use in airplane mode. We can play for hours or use it to pass a few minutes. Had it on our fine for years now.
This is one of our all time favs. It's simple to play and is very realistic. We have kept it on our phone for close to 5 years. It's the only game that has stayed that long. This review is also a shout out to the devs…please continue developing the game.
This game is fun and very well made. For some one like us who loves the Call of Duty, this game is just a must have.
The game is great for the price we paid but the only problem we feel is that after every level there is an ad and when you click the X button it still brings you to the App site to purchase it. Other than that it is a great AC-130 game.
Love this game, but needs more missions.
We really liked it, it was fun and cool. When are you coming out with the next one.
Great game. If you've ever played a game like Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 1, Modern Warfare 2, or Modern Warfare 3, this app is just like the AC-130 levels in those games. If you're too young to join the Air Force, but want to, this is a great way to get practice. Just like real AC-130's too. Love the app and totally worth the $2.00.
AC-130 is a good game. Would you offer an update please or create a new version.
We had a lot of fun but no instructions is a BIG issue overall, we loved it.
Good game.however humans and explosions seemed stiff and fake,and it would be better to have smoother to use 2 stage explosions. Also having tracer bullets would add awesome detail.
Ok so like the title say we haven't had this game in a while and now that we're on the iPhone 5 we're surprised this app isn't updated at all so it looks crappy on our 5 and also doesn't run that good no more so we hope there will be an update along with getting rid of the popups that is once a paid app is well free for a few years now we're guessing so update please.
While the visuals are pretty good it looks like the developers got bored and just quit building levels. Once you've mastered them, you'll get bored as well and regret spending money on the game.
The game is awesome but needs update then ill rate 5 stars :).
Great game needs to get updated and more levels game play is good one downfall is the stupid app advertisements between levels is irritating.
Great app. Need more levels. Please update.
We have a good amount of fun considering we got the app for free, but more levels would b appreciated. And we only use the touch feature.
Great game, but we're still waiting for the continuation. Hope it has better graphics, more options like White Hot/Black Hot and variable zoom. The story for the next game seems to be quite interesting.
No compatible version has been available since we had it on our iPhone 6what gives.
Isn't time to update your game.
Is war a necessary evil? Does simulating the taking of a life desensitize one to such a degree that fantasy becomes reality; where in one's reality becomes nothing more then the stage in which reality is the theater in which our fantasies are presented.
Needs updating, and more missions.
Have had this game about a year now. No update. At all, ever… Cool game but getting tired of same crap.
Needs an iPad update. We'd like to see more levels and better graphics too. Hook it up guys.
Its okay but they should add more stuff you just have campaign and some missions but we wish we could get a refund.
We're impressed by this game. Especially being free. We have not paid to unlock levels, but It's about as real as u can get w/iPhone. 1 exception, training. No military simulation should be w/out a training module. Ppl need to know how to identify targets & friendlys, and how to Nav the terrain, & track progress. Sitreps are also necessary. Typed instructions will allow gameplay w/out sound. Also, if you can move either the ad banner or the try again button would be useful. Need to fix gyroscope calibration. Once these issues get addressed, this will be a 5 star game.
Some missions can't be completed with the weapons allowed, and the tilt often does not calibrate properly.
It has no battle chat, no zoom in and out with each weapon, no flares, no turbulence, once you start attacking they don't try to shoot you down, no rapid fire with 40mm, it takes an year to reload 105mm, if you shoot right next to somebody they go prone then get up and keep walking like nothing happened, no large spread while using 25mm they collapse to their death all the same way, no extended mission, no large load of shells please make a new ac130 game with some action so we can but it cuz it is our favorite game.
Normally we play games like these to occupy a few minutes during our lunch break. However, that's very difficult to do when the game doesn't even register that you finished the level, half the time. On top of that, the animations are horrible when they don't need to be, and the level design is bland and boring. Zombie gunship Is certainly the superior game.
Please add more levels or something.
After updating we no longer have sound! Doubt we're the only one who has had this problem so please fix. But otherwise an extremely fun game.
It's a bit slow and we just experienced a glitch in one of the missions where after destroying the 4 armored vehicles and killing all 72 plus an extra 11 terrorists the game glitches out and didn't end. We're not that impressed with it.
It's fun, it's amusing and most importantly, it'll help you escape from boredom. If that's all that matters, then this is THE app for you! There are some problems though. As a person who knows a lot about the military and world events, we have to say that this app is HORRIBLY UNREALISTIC and narrow-minded. The enemies are dumb, and dont react to rounds landing near them. Also, the "commander's" voice is high and sounds like someone recorded it in their basement. We would still recommend it though. Its fun and passes time. Check out ZOMBIE GUNSHIP. It's another AC-130 game, only you kill thousands and thousands of zombies instead.
It was a good thought needs mor graphics.
The concept of piloting an ac-130 just like in Modern warefare Is cool but this game doesn't pull through at all. The missions are bland and boring, the maps look atrocious, and the ac-130 you pilot is weak and limited. The ai is terrible as well.
It's got a big potential it has a lot more variety than zombie gs however it lacks controls voice actors and also graphics we wish the ppl from zombie gunship would of have gotten this idea and created a much more diverse game.
Please update!!! Its a 5 star game but is not even usable. Once yall update, Ill submit another review.
Wont even work cause you arent updating this games iOS which must be 11 and we even played this game and it was cheesy even little kids make better games than this when youre shooting the terrorists they dont even try! To take cover …. Bruh and the ac 130 glitches are just unbearable this game is very in need of improving folks who read this dont waste money on this crappy game Im very disappointed in this app and the developers and company for not updating this for FIVE WHOLE YEARS!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON MAN! Sorry for rage just please fix the app.
On first level, we kill all targets plus over the 38 is said and no red dots show up and when time runs out, keeps saying we failed mission.
This game sounds great until you find out that it has terrible ai and they spawn in the same place every time, not to mention it is god awful hard to get an angle on your shots. Final note, not worth your time.
AI is unintelligent, very basic controls, not fun.
We paid for game and haven't played in a while. Now after every level some Asian writing comes up and takes us to App Store page. What a crappy thing to do triniti.
Pretty much says it all it's fun if you don't play shadow strike or if you are looking for a top 3 gunship it's alright. Very slow game! So slow we haven't gone far enough to even say if it's another overpriced freemium game like the rest. We have to presume it is we'll try another few games for now it's a 3 star at best. The ad on the continue screen is absurd now down to one star and deleted.
WORST GRAPHICS ON A MOBILE DEVICE EVER! Don't waste anymore time with this cartoon looking app.
Boring and way to easy. Make it more realistic like zombie gunship and you'll have something. Soldiers and tanks don't go around in single file in a combat zone.
Don't buy this game…it stinks…we want our money back…this game should be free…zombies is way better totally different experience.
Sure the AC-130 is cool. So obviously a game involving such would be cool. Nope. This game is choppy, and predictable. Zombie Gunship is a better game. And that's not saying much. But if you're playing this, just download zombie gunship.
This is a great game and we love playing it. It's been a long long long time since it's been updated. It has not been updated, expanded and improved in spite of our pleas so this new rating is now one star. If you have not yet tried this game we say go for it…but for those of us that have been playing it for awhile we need an update quick! ………No update so you get a one star rating. It's been years update NOW.
