1948 Dawn of Future is a Entertainment/Simulation/Action game from FrozenPepper srl, first launched in 27th November 2012.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 381+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes 1948 Dawn of Future Stand Out
WARING game wont work on modern devices or versions of iOS, development of 1948 was discontinued long time ago, app remains on store for original owners or old devices users. Thanks for understanding.
It's 1948 and it's the dawn of a new era.
The two leading super powers started a top secret war to control alien technology found on earth.
Technology that if mastered will give human race a chance against a mysterious alien that threatens our freedom.
Help us shape the new era, join the Dawn of Future !

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game was the best when we played it on our iPod now we're not able to play it with our iPhone 7+ it would be great if you can fix that thx.
Pls update this game we can't play until updated but no update will show.
It's great, but credits are few and far between if you're not that good, like ourselves, at the whole aileron/elevator throttle/rudder thing or can't land well. Other than that, we love it.
It is a wonderful aircraft-based game. We hope in a future update you add AI to capture the flag games. We love it! For a while we were only able to successfully play bomb the base and make good amounts of credits (because picking the Onyx as a starter is a bad idea if you want missiles/rockets and online activity was too low to play capture the flag). Otherwise, wonderful game! We hope you add more maps and game modes in the future! Keep up the great work.
We just wonder how to review a game that crashes every time we try the tutorial. Also, do you support this app for we pad 2? We will check and see. The game seems like lots of fun. We rated it five stars for support to fix the bug.thx.
SICK GAME AMAZING SO MUCH FUN WATCHING IT LOAD NEVER PLAYED IT BEFOR LOL.
We really liked this game it's very fun to play the controls are simple and work great and the Camera in first person view looks great and doesn't get in the way of your vision outside of the plane, we haven't had any problems with this game other than sometimes kicking us out of it but it never happened when we were playing the levels and it rarely happens this is a great game and really fun in our opinion.
We used to have this game and it had no problems with loading. We download it a year later and suddenly it starts crashing every time we go to start a mission. GEE… UM…we WONDER HOW AM we SUPPOSED TO RATE A GAME THAT we CANT EVEN PLAY!!!!! But we will rate five stars for support for this so desperately needed fix.
On the offshore map once you get to 700' you see images of your Base.
This is a nice flight simulator. Our only complaint is that we can't play some missions when we can't contact their server.
We ended up spending about $30 on the iPhone 4 app and we love killing them aliens lol. But unfortunately none of that transfers to the iPad Mini…but at least it transferred to the iPhone 5. Thanks for the great app, guys.
Very good game! But there is a glitch in the main menu when you play offline, the online option buttons stay in the menu when you pick one.
This is the best game we have ever played we have never played a game this fun in atleast 19 years.
Great game, great graphics, large amount of levels and modes of game play. Just need more players, please download and play along.
This game is great we like the graphics and the features to this game.
We give this game a thumbs up It is really cool and you get to destroy aliens You can do alots but we would suggest more alien ships.
This is a great game, no problems with crashing. The only thing is there aren't enough people to play online yet so hopefully that will increase soon.
This is the best game we have on our iPad hands down! We love the historical part that is tied in with the science fiction alien stuff. Combining two of our favorite things! Love it.
This game is beast we just shot down a UFO.
Fun game to play, very real yet forgiving. It's a cheap way to get your "wings" about-cha! Go for it and go pro when you do.
The game is great and is very realistic without RC PLANE 2 we would of never downloaded it and if we did we would of never shot down one UFO.
This game is what led us to Rc plane 2 game get that too its awesome.
Don't listen to the bad reviews. If you like RC or flight simulators you can't beat this game. We don't know what the problem is with the people that gave this game anything less than 5 stars. For a free game we have really enjoyed it and found it challenging.
If u saw our other one we did something and we thought it would work Please help anyone or we played Rc airplane2 and it ran fine But this is just dumb it is crashing after its done loading.
We really like this game but there is a lot of crashing when we play it…. But other than that this game is pretty good.
This game could be really good if we could actually start it up, but every time we try to open the app it crashes :/ we've been seeing a lot of complaints about crashing so please fix.
This will take practice to master. The controls are very "touchy" so you tend to overcompensate at first.
It is a really good game, the only problem we have with it is it's need more people online playing or some new multiplayer modes and more maps.
But we ran to a bug for some reason the sound comes out of the ear bud section.
We have been looking in the App Store for a game like this for a long time. Good background plot, comparatively great graphics, lotsa customizability, Great idea. Love it! Sugestions: 1. Make money easier to get, we love frozen pepper and would be willing to pay 0.99 cents to get a lot of money, but its too expensive right now. In the gameplay there isn't any way to get enough money to buy planes. 2. Level plots, it would be nice if it had levels, and a storyline, to make solo mode more enjoyable. 3. More multiplayer and solo ways to play, we know your working on an update that works on those but we just wanted to remind you guys. 4. Better graphics and physics. We love the realisticness of it but the explosions look fakey and the plane always breaks in the same places, better water physic would be nice too, the plane hits water like its concrete. 5. More customizability, allow more colors and personal names. Special unique personal insignias would be nice too. 6. More buttons and options, we love the landing gear but a gyroscope in 3rd person plane view would be nice, also allow us to separate the steering vane and the throttle when the elevators and airlarons are being controlled by the accelerometer. 7 smoother turns, better gunfire graphics. The turns and moving can be a bit glitchy at times, and the gunfire graphics could use a little bit of work. 8. Oh and auto turrent or torrents that u can control while the plane is on autopilot would be nice Ok, we're all done sorry for all our grammar errors we were in a hurry. We know we listed a lot but we're a critic, we really like this game and hope you make it better, thanks frozen pepper.
Our rate on this game is a 4,becuase it starts over every time you don't finish the training.
We totally recommend this, but only if it could play more levels offline.
Great game..but we wish you could earn more money and be able to play more of the missions when you're not on a server, of you could fix this, we'll rate it 5.
This game is awesome but there is one problem you don't get a lot of money for a mission please fix this.
It was a great game but it always crashes please fix it:).
Fun game good play, wish it had more players for dogfights like it when u shoot down ufos but glitches when trying to fly hope they fix it but a good game over all.
Difficult to earn coins but possible to earn enough for extras. Overall fun game to keep you busy. No pause button during solo game play.
We have not got to play it yet because of bugs.
We LOVE this app the simulation is great, it's realistic but we really wish it had modern planes like a F-14. Then again, it's called 1948 Dawn of Future.
Each time we go on we can't connect to the server no matter where we are at home or at school even.
It does take a lot of practice but its worth it. We're still learning but we like that they now have more solo missions.
This game is great but we wish you could earn points faster.
A little to learn but fun once you get the hang of it Extra are hard to come by The cost are too high.
This game is not bad at all but there are few things that could use some fixing like maybe separate control panels that we have to swipe through to find stuff? Also a reset button would be useful considering we chose the wrong beginning jet and so we deleted the app and reinstalled it to not have any money at all and not have any planes.
It's a great game but no one is in multiplayer so it's not worth it a different game called dogfight is better, no, WAS better, before we t got an update and everything crashed! This game doesn't do that, but noones on multiplayer everyday so something's messed up.
Every time we go to open up 1948 dawn of future it crashes we cant do anything please fix this we bought all of the planes.
This game lags alot and it needs bug fixes and we wish we didnt have levels so weapons and all that stuff didnt have to be locked we will give this game 5 stars if they do that.
It's ok, we still love to play the game. But there needs to be more solo modes really. We still play this game, but there needs to be some fixes.
Is pretty good but lots of stuff costs to much and can slightly glitch out but a good game nonetheless.
Do does UFO has titanium armor? We hit them and they never die. But very good game.
