Siberian Strike is a series of top-down shooters video games developed and published by Gameloft.

The player flies into Siberian territory to face off against evil soviet forces.

Most of the levels feature one or more bosses.

Released in 2006 for Pocket PC and Windows, Siberian Strike X is an upgraded reboot of the original version. [4]

Released in 2009 for iOS and Android, the latest installment in the Siberian Strike series includes the story and features all the levels which where previously released in two parts as Siberian Strike and Siberian Strike: Episode II. The game is a complete remake featuring improved graphics in 3D, animations and additional content. [5] [6] [7]
