Stop moving and you get collected. You are Token, a self-aware fragment of data marked for deletion. Break through six layers of a living data center before the Garbage Collector erases your trail. FIGHT OR PROGRAM Choose Action Mode to move, attack, dash, and evade with direct controls. Choose Idle Mode to let Token handle movement and combat while you shape the run through weapons and tactical patches. Pick the style you want at the start of every run. 184 BUILD EFFECTS Weapons and patches reshape the shot count, path, target, and effect of primary, secondary, and chain attacks. Add 144 protocols that react to integrity, shields, zone, boss state, and enemy count, plus 12 components inspired by HBM, liquid cooling, optical links, ECC, and more. 30 ENEMIES BORN FROM THE DATA CENTER Memory, cooling, optical transport, rack fabrics, and data-processing layers inspire 30 ordinary enemies with 30 distinct attack patterns. Read designed floor hazards, cones, lines, tracking shots, and charges before they close your route. ESCAPE SIX SYSTEM LAYERS Cross 35 rooms and 44 physical layouts through memory hierarchies, cooling sectors, optical networks, and the data hall. A short line from Token introduces each room and its danger. When only a few enemies remain, they come to you—and you can move on without searching every corner. BEAT THE STORY. THEN GO ENDLESS. Escape the sixth layer to unlock escalating waves, evolving builds, and recurring boss fights in Endless Mode. GAME CENTER Open Records from the title screen for global and daily leaderboards plus eight achievements. Only unassisted Action runs enter competitive leaderboards; Idle and assisted runs still keep their normal rewards and achievements. The Daily Challenge changes to a new seed at midnight in Korea. No account is required. The core game remains playable offline.

About

STORMHAWK

Features
Read full description

STORMHAWK is a vertical arcade shooter built the old way: every one of its 32 missions is hand-designed, with its own theatre of war, its own fleet and its own boss, from a red interceptor to an armed zeppelin. You start with one plane and a straight gun. Ten minutes later you are rolling through flak with a magnetic graze meter, a wingman squadron and a deck of roguelite cards you picked yourself. Between missions you spend your loot in the hangar, unlock more fighters, and chase 96 medals. WHAT IS IN IT - 32 missions across 8 theatres, 16 bosses and a mid-mission heavy escort - 12 fighters with genuinely different weapons, unlocked with medals - 12 roguelite cards with synergies, drawn from a capsule you shoot to cycle - Hangar upgrades, coins, ranks and 96 medals to collect - Daily mission with a rotating mutator, and a weekly challenge - Endless and Boss Rush for short sessions - Ace mode (New Game+): the whole campaign again, harder, double score - 3 save slots with autosave per mission - Plays in 7 languages: English, Espanol, Portugues, Francais, Deutsch, Russian, Turkce HOW IT PLAYS One finger. Drag anywhere and the plane follows; it fires on its own. Second finger: hold for focus, tap for a barrel roll. No tutorial screens: the first five seconds are a ceasefire and the game shows you the gesture, then gets out of the way. Works offline.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Token Escape at none against STORMHAWK's shown. STORMHAWK's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
