No Way Home Exits Apple Arcade, Hits iOS

by Eric Sep 23,2025

No Way Home Officially Launches on iOS Beyond Apple Arcade

Experience an immersive hand-drawn space shooter adventure filled with strategic combat, open exploration, and gripping story missions.

While Apple Arcade boasts incredible exclusive titles, its subscription model presents a common limitation - players must commit to the service even if only interested in one particular game. Fortunately, some gems eventually break free from this exclusivity.

SMG Studio's acclaimed twin-stick shooter No Way Home has now made this transition. This visually stunning space adventure combines intense action with narrative depth, offering more than just mindless shooting.

The game thrusts players into the role of a spaceship captain whose vessel gets frozen in deep space. After being ejected by the ship's AI just before catastrophic asteroid impact, you find yourself stranded in a strange alien world - quite literally with "no way home".

A Fresh Take on Space Shooters

Diverging from traditional twin-stick shooters that prioritize non-stop action, No Way Home blends intense combat with exploration elements reminiscent of Elite: Dangerous. The game successfully merges frenetic shooting sequences with thoughtful mission completion and environmental discovery.

The title channels some of the atmospheric storytelling found in cult favorites like Sunless Sea, creating a unique hybrid experience. This compelling mix of action, exploration, and narrative depth makes its broader iOS release particularly exciting for mobile gamers.
