No Way Home iOS shooter debuts

No Way Home has escaped Apple Arcade exclusivity and is now available as a standalone iOS title

Embark on a visually stunning, hand-drawn space shooter adventure

Battle swarms of enemies while freely exploring diverse environments and completing engaging missions

While Apple Arcade boasts an impressive library of premium titles, it shares a common limitation with all subscription services - mandatory exclusivity. This creates a dilemma for gamers: either subscribe solely for one desired title or miss out entirely.

Fortunately, some gems eventually break free from these restrictions. SMG Studio's No Way Home, a visually striking twin-stick shooter, has made this transition while retaining its distinctive hand-drawn aesthetic and compelling narrative.

The game plunges you into deep space as captain of an astral liner that mysteriously freezes solid. After being ejected by the ship's AI moments before its destruction in an asteroid field, you find yourself stranded in an alien world - quite literally facing a situation with no way home.

A Fresh Take on Space Combat

Departing from traditional twin-stick shooters that emphasize non-stop action, No Way Home blends shooter mechanics with expansive exploration reminiscent of Elite: Dangerous. This unique hybrid offers both intense combat scenarios and opportunities to investigate your surroundings while progressing through missions.

The game successfully merges fast-paced shooting with deep storytelling and exploration, creating a captivating experience that stands apart from typical "destroy everything" space shooters. This satisfying combination makes its arrival on the standard App Store particularly exciting.
