Jackal Squad - Arcade Shooting for Android

Craving a slice of old-school arcade action? This page lets you grab the Jackal Squad APK download for Android in its latest XAPK version. Developed by OneSoft Global, it is a modern remake of Jackal, the game KONAMI released for the Nintendo NES in 1988. It is free to play with optional in-app purchases, and it runs without an internet connection.

About Jackal Squad and How It Plays

OneSoft is best known for Galaxy Shooter style space games, and Jackal Squad stands out as one of its more distinctive arcade titles. The story is set during World War II: fascist and Nazi forces have overrun most of Europe and captured a large number of Allied soldiers.

You lead a special squad sent behind enemy lines in a fast military jeep armed with a machine gun and a rocket launcher. Your job is to tear through enemy forces and bring your comrades home.

The action is viewed from above and the controls could not be simpler. Hold your finger on the screen and drag to steer the jeep. Once enemies are within range, your guns fire automatically, so your focus is on positioning yourself well and dodging incoming fire with quick reactions. You only move on after every enemy unit and building in the area is destroyed.

Rescuing Hostages

Some enemy buildings hold Allied prisoners. Blow them open, collect the soldiers and carry them to the helicopter so they can be flown out safely, earning bonus points along the way.

Stages and Content

Jackal Squad offers varied stages with different bases and a wide range of enemies, including tanks, helicopters and foot soldiers. As you progress, you can upgrade the jeep’s weapons and equipment to stay strong against tougher opposition.

Daily missions and special events hand out exclusive rewards, and a scoring system lets you chase high scores and compete. Retro 2D pixel-art visuals keep the spirit of the original intact, backed by a punchy soundtrack of war music and explosion effects. Regular updates add new stages and enemies along with performance improvements.
