    BackFire’s difficulty curve might make you hate it at times, but its design is fair enough that you’re always jumping back in to see if you can best it. What helps is that the game has an ingenious upgrade system that always lets you make progress, even if you’re just banging your head against a level repeatedly. Oh, and I almost forgot the best part: all of this feels completely intuitive and easy-to-control on a touch screen. Do yourself a favor and get BackFire. It’s one of the best arena shooters available on the App Store.

    BackFire is slick, smart, and it doesn't give a toss about the rules that you think it should be following.

    Backfire is an addictive, compulsive, difficult and very intense arcade game, playable in an extremely simple way on iPhone or iPad thanks to a one-touch gameplay.
