Thunderdogs Wiki

This game is like no other for mobile! Literally go and find a plane fighting game with dogs piloting I’ll wait. But seriously this game is so unique and so much fun! I do think there could be a few improvements though. First I think that gems should be a little more easy to obtain or just a few more challenges to earn them. Second, for whatever reason the fossil themed map I seem to get all the time I know it’s new but I like the other maps too. Now this next part of the review is about the planes specifically the VIP planes. In my opinion it feels like some VIP planes are more powerful than most normal planes (pls nerf). I also think that you should be able to buy a individual VIP plane for maybe five dollars but you’re only allowed to buy one if you want the rest you should get the VIP membership. Oh and p.s I love the idea of if you make a purchase of anything it removes ads I wish more games did that!

By far my favorite go-to game. It’s awesome being able to pop into a match or 2 or stay for as long as I want and just keep playing. It’d be nice to have a team or “squadron” to join and have daily challenges for teams on top of individual and then do a weekly raid against some mega boss, or have a mega boss mode where each player gets a try every charge of a special energy and have to beat it within 7 days. Something along those lines with a cool reward system would be awesome. I don’t think I would ever do the vip thing....I already spent $10 on this so I think I gave enough. But add more content and ways for us to win stuff and maybe go more ad optional for extra rewards. Incent us to keep playing and grow the community ;)

(This review will be all over the place) I’m in love with this game so much! It’s super fun and I feel like it I won’t get bored of this game like I do others and I feel like that’s due to the art and collecting different dogs and planes! Now the art! The art is just so great I don’t know there’s something about it that makes me love it so much and of course it could be also since I love dogs! I know this game is pretty new but man would I love if someone would makes plushies of some oh those dogs! Also like the little “social media” part it’s really great way to talk to other people about the game and I especially love the fan art section that’s a really cool feature! This is my first review for a game but this game so deserves it I hope it grows into a great game!

In the past few years, I’ve found it very hard to “get into” any mobile games, as usually they’re just effortless and lackluster (complimenting their development process I might add). However, THUNDERDOGS has reawaken my love for that little “games” folder on my home screen that’s usually empty but I never remember to delete. Fast paced, skillful action meets adorable breeds of man’s best friend! Matches start slow and intimidating, but soon evolve into fast, flying fun. If you’re good at aiming, you will LOVE this game. Great pixel art, and the music always gets me pumped. Heavily considering purchasing some gems, not only to get rid of the ads, but to support the developers! Highly recommend picking this one up. Great studio at work here.

The reason I gave it 5 stars is because it just came out, obviously they can’t add to much by then. I feel like the steering is very hard at first but it seems like it would become easier, but I feel like for the new “rookies” there should be a setting to turn down the sensitivity. Plus I think should be something like a 10vs10, so other people are on your team, there should also be things like doggy clans, where dogs can buddy and take down enemies. My last thing I have to say is, lots of future maps would be great. Otherwise this game is perfect how it is now but there is lots they could do.👍

Simple, yet complex controls. Easy to use and understand UI. Fun and engaging gameplay where your skill will entirely determine how the game goes. The music feels like it’s coming straight out of Starfox. Fighting is intense, but calculating every move will make or break you. Usually, all the dogfighting games I’ve played are determined by who can hit who first. In this game, it’s who can outmaneuver the other, and surprise them when least expected. I love this gameplay and I wish for much more content in the future! (Also go check out the Subreddit I made for this game on Reddit! r/Thunderdogs!)

This is the mobile game of mobile games. The controls are great and easy to use, it’s fair and balanced, and it’s actually fun. Instead of raging when you lose like in some games, you can’t help but smile when you see the silly face of the animal that blew you up. The only thing I would change is the amount of coins you get from playing actual rounds. I once played an 8 kill round with 43 bones collected and I only got 26 coins. This isn’t a big problem, however because rounds are quick and you can just grind, or you can watch quick ads to get 20 coins after playing every round.

Thunderdogs is described by Lucky Kat Studios as a “Luftrausers meets Starfox” multiplayer .io-styled game where you pit yourself against other players in quick online death matches where you try to out-fly other players while also shooting them down and collecting the golden bones of your fallen opponents. The twin-stick controls take a bit getting used to but they are simple enough, though you’ll probably find yourself aimless bouncing off objects and missing items until you get hang of the floatiness of the different unlockable planes, each with their own upgradable stats and unique pilots which drop short witty dialogue at each other in text boxes as you take down other planes. The music is fantastic and the pixel art style is cute and the art of the various dog pilots reminds me heavily of Starfox. The game seems to never force you to spend money to progress but it does have forced ads. I’ve rated the game 4/5 because of the IAP. While, the lowest IAP I see is 1.99 (which is alright) the game does offer a ‘VIP Membership’ for 6.99 a WEEK, for exclusive VIP planes, daily in-game currency, and other exclusive content. If this were altered to maybe a monthly payment it would be a little more realistic but 6.99 a week is a pretty steep payment for any game.

I can’t quite seem to gush enough about this game. It features a diverse set of doggy characters, and a fresh, creative atmosphere. The advertisements aren’t bad in terms of frequency, seeing as how more times than not you can get rewarded for them. Even so, these advertisements as of late had recently crushed my spirits. ‘Don’t Play This At School’. It seemed innocent enough, until I realized the content of the advertisement. Inside the advertisement, it portrayed simplistic, 3D characters shooting each other, whilst peeking out from behind trees. There was no gore, no bloodshed, but the fact that an advertisement would blatantly poke fun at school shootings shocked me. Recently, children have been bringing knives to school in my district. An advertisement so nonchalant about the mass-shootings disturbs me, personally. I’ll give you the star back when you check your advertisements more thoroughly. I doubt you will even get to this review, anyway. At least without an automated message. An excellent game, nonetheless. Just off-putting.

First of all, this game is awesome. You pilot a plane to go into dogfights. And, your pilot is a dog. There are different power ups scattered across the map, each with a different weapon. You collect bones and kills to gain money, and buy new aircrafts. One minor detail I loved is that, whenever you fire a weapon, your phone shakes slightly, giving you the impression that you are actually firing the plane. Depending on the power up, the rumble changes slightly. The one and only thing I am not happy, is that, even though it says real time multiplayer, it is not so real time. Why? I was once playing, and had to turn my phone off. After I returned to the game, I was not disconnected, as I would in an online match. Instead, the match continued as if I had never ever turned off my phone. If any developers are reading this, please add a quick help button explaining about plane stats. Even though all planes are unique, design and stat wise, there are stats I have no idea what they do. Speed and handling are obvious. Eventually, I discovered that power was your firing rate. The dash, however, does not specify if it increases the speed of it, speed to execute it, or the distance it runs. I have absolutely no idea what the Thrust stat helps with. The 4 stars are for those reasons stated above. Even though they are small, I feel they make a difference.

I’ve been pretty bored the past few months trying to find a good game that doesn’t take to long in rounds to play. THUNDERDOGS is a perfect game if you like online multiplayer games with fast action. I love the art styles as well. As a highschool student it is a little irritating that their are some dogs that only VIP members can have. But it doesn’t actually effect the gameplay often. I usually play using a common fighter, and have beaten VIP exclusive fighters easily. It doesn’t matter what plane it is it matters who’s flying it. I love how well balanced the fighting is in this game. I have experienced a few lag issues, but it could be because of problems on my end since my internet seems to be having some problems. I love this game so much, and I really hope they add more maps and dogs soon!

Solid game. Scratches that itch for multiplayer pvp that I’ve had for a while. My only complaints with the game is 1. It’s clearly a “free to pay” game granting obvious and noticeable advantages to players who shell out some cash. (And the VIP subscription is priced WAY too high at $6.99) 2. Ads are far too frequent, if they removed the forced ads the game would have the perfect amount of ads; I like the ability to watch ads to earn coins still. 3. There is littler variety in game play. Pretty much once you get a handle of the base mechanics and special weapons there is pretty much nothing left to learn. 4. Lack of a private match or friend system. All that being said, there are some things that this game does very well. 1. The art style is fantastic, perfect amount of silly fun and functional design. 2. The game is pretty fun. The base mechanics are interesting to learn and difficult to master. The variety between each dog allows you to favor a certain playstyle as well. 3. The controls and HUD designs are great. Not once have I gotten frustrated at either for being obtrusive or unusable. 7/10 would recommend.

Thunderdogs is a really fun game, but there are waaaaay too many forced ads that interrupt flow of gameplay. The ads often take longer to watch then the match itself. On the home screen, you can choose to watch 5 ads a day for extra coins. After every match you can choose to watch an ad for extra coins, but if you choose not to, they will most likely force you to watch one anyway for nothing. Sometimes one of the daily missions is to watch 5 more ads for gems. And to get rid of the forced ads you have to subscribe monthly. So you can never permanently remove the ads like in other apps and truly enjoy the game. I would be willing to spend money on this game if the developer was less greedy.

I absolutely love games like this but only when there done right. Even though it’s early and game was just released I’m not seeing where these 4 & 5 star reviews are coming from? Controls are very clunky! The plane ✈️ you fly is very hard to maneuver and I find I am shooting more air than enemies! This is coming from someone that flies airplanes recreationally! The developers didn’t give to many options for controls only turn Dynamic Joystick On and Off. The controls for the plane are on the left side of the screen and I am right handed! They should at least give the player the option to mirror the controls or even configure the controls. Me personally I would of set it up so the plane auto fires at a target and put plane movement on the right side with boosts and power ups on the left side. As of right now I can only give 2 stars as I feel this is all the game deserves. You start a battle and you get a few shots off then all of a sudden out of no where a plane comes that is very overpowered and wipes the field! No way can a beginner player make any headway in a game like this!!
