About Red Wings: American Aces

Red Wings: American Aces puts you in the pilot’s seat of a nostalgic, action-packed arcade shooter illustrated in a fun comic-book style with a gaming mode for every occasion—local or online, solo or multiplayer. Prove yourself in exciting aerial battles and make a name for your squad as the best aces of WWI!

A Multiplayer Must-play

Do you believe in the strength of the squadron? Choose a map and game mode and gather your pilots to play in a team of up to five players against other squads in online multiplayer. Prefer flying solo and plucking others out of the sky? There’s game modes for that too! Compete with up to nine other pilots and fly to the top of the scoreboard. Local co-op is available for smaller fighter groups of one or two pilots for a much more ace-to-ace experience in various customizable game modes, including a campaign mode with 30 missions.

Rise to the Challenge

The clouds hide many dangers, there’s more than just enemy pilots waiting up there! Thunderstorms will blast your skill cooldowns, while sandstorms can make visibility spiral to near zero. To make things even more interesting, you’ll encounter other challenges such as missions where you’ll only be able to take out enemies with barrel rolls, planes that release a gas that will block your view when you least expect it, and more!

Become an Ace of the Sky

Rack up skill points for completed missions to upgrade your pilot progression skill tree and add to your arsenal. Strategize and rearrange your points depending on the mission and ensure you emerge from every dogfight victorious.

Key Features:

  • Fly online—Test your skills against a max of 9 other players in Last Man Standing, Score Battle, or Time Battle modes or gather your squad of up to 5 pilots and battle other squads in Elimination, Time Team Battle, or Score Team Battle modes
  • Fly locally—Play custom games in 3 different modes (Score Battle, Time Battle, and Hide n’ Seek (2 players only)) solo against AI or against another player
  • Complete 30 missions in campaign mode—relive the aerial dogfights of WWI and encounter all manner of unexpected challenges (available in local co-op for 1-2 players)
  • Upgrade your pilot progression skill tree—develop your pilot skills and rearrange points depending on the mission at hand
  • Pilot 15 different warplanes, each with unique skins—stand out in the heat of battle with a plane your enemies won’t soon forget

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the charming cartoony art style and arcade feel, along with smooth gameplay that successfully captures the spirit of classic flight games like Red Baron. However, many criticize the limited flight controls—no mouse support, restricted pitch/roll mechanics without true yaw control, and difficulty with leading targets in combat—which frustrates players expecting traditional flight sim or shooter mechanics. Additional complaints include a short single-player campaign, unclear scoring mechanics, and minimal innovation from the first game, though some find the balanced gameplay a

For PC players: No mouse control. Keyboard or controller only. Some might like, some might not. Can't deep dive to shake off enemies - auto turning up.

An unfortunate and reluctant NO! A real shame because the cartoony art style goes so well with the arcade feel. I also played this on a Steamdeck (and it runs perfectly fine). FLIGHT: Pitch and Roll only.. sort of Roll. Definitely no Yaw. There is a barrel roll special ability though, but like the other special abilities, it has a cool down. Leading your crosshairs to hit a target that is changing course also does not work the way you think it should... if you are accustomed to playing proper first person shooters (without aim assist), or proper flight games (arcade or sim). MAPS: A reasonably decent amount for a small game, and varied enough to maintain interest and enthusiasm in the game world itself. Some of the maps are immersive on a visual level despite their simplicity and small scale (you can often reach the map's edge and find yourself forcibly turned around to avoid "desertion") CAMPAIGN: Terribly shallow. The game is clearly built around this modern "I just finished some youtube tutorials on how to make a game in ___ engine" mindset. It is a slow grind to earn skill points. Unlock skills... go back to repeat missions to earn 2 stars, then 3 stars. There was clearly n…

If you played the first game, this sequel is almost the same. [u][url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199101512747/recommended/1140630/] So go read my review of that.[/url][/u] Flight feels exactly the same, most of the enemies are exactly the same, and the co-op mode is still an important part of the achievements. By now you should have the skills to fly through the single campaign path in a few hours, and sadly that's basically the whole game right there. Missing from this sequel is the Survival map option, and instead they have team battles and score battles; the goal in them is to get the highest score in a limited time, or get a specific score faster than your rival. You can choose from a nice variety of backgrounds for the battles and whether the combos will count. There's also options to play online battles, but good luck finding someone. As for what they added, there's a few interesting changes. One new enemy plane spews toxic gas if you follow them, though they seem very susceptible to roll takedowns. There's two new weather elements, with clouds getting electrified to make them a less reliable escape from danger, and a giant water spout that deals some damage …

better then the first

I finally found a modern day successor to Red Baron, and it keeps the fun factor front and center! Everything is really well balanced and controls are intuitive. The Gameplay is smooth and the graphics are pleasing. I was hesitant at first, since I've never been able to relive the joy I did as a kid playing Red Baron, but this surpasses it. I'm really glad I picked this up. If you're at all hesitant just remember you can return it on Steam if you do not like it and have only played it for so many hours. But you won't.
