Skies above the Great War

Broken mess, bad design, iffy and poorly designed UI functionality, incredibly small number of aircraft in play. Air combat is either poorly simulated (if allowed to resolve itself), or boring (if the player handles it). The real-time strategic layer was a serious mistake, as was the way aircraft and pilot assignment is handled. The dev himself has said he's putting much less effort into the game because it didn't sell well enough and he had to get a job, so I don't expect much improvement. Btw, I didn't actually play 20 hours at review time. It was more like 8, but the game froze at one point and made Steam think it was still going.

This is a great game, There are so many moving parts for those that like to manage and command. It is a bit overwhelming at the start. (I wish there was a proper tutorial with speech etc) The plane controlling will make you feel like a complete amateur. My absolute favorite is to be the tail gunner, once you get use to the shooting its pretty fun and addicting seeing planes fall by your rounds! I'm still rubbish at the game, no seriously I'm Garbage at flying and shooting. RECOMMEND! hidden Jem for sure!!!

I've put a couple of hours into this game now and despite a bit of a hurdle getting used to the controls, it seems like a fun little air combat game based on the WW1 western front. You have several airfields to start with, can deploy new planes and pilots, customize the look of your machines, and take off to fight your enemies over the front lines. Various missions including fighter patrols, recon and photo recon, bombing, interdiction of enemy balloons, and even shooting down enemy zeppelins can be undertaken in real time. There is a small variety of machines that can be deployed initially, and you may research and deploy newer aircraft as the game progresses. There are a few bugs and the game itself is a bit rough around the edges, but it is totally playable.

A fun little game that scratches an itch Wings 2: Aces High for SNES gave me as a kid.

Concept is good. The way the game executes it is just bad.

this game is a weird weird mess, i kind of fw it tho
