Sid Meier's Ace Patrol is an interesting turn-based dogfighting game that looks a bit "weird" at first glance, but actually offers a decent amount of fun once you get into it. The core gameplay loop of maneuvering planes and managing pilot skills is engaging for a while, but the age of the game is starting to show. Some of the combat interactions and RNG elements don't always make sense, leading to moments of frustration that break the flow. While it’s not a bad game by any means, it is difficult to recommend today because it feels very dated compared to modern strategy titles. 5/10.9 found this helpful
Old game that I still come back to and play. I recommend it.
Not sure I'd pay full price for Ace Patrol today even at $5, it's a decade-old PC port of a mobile game and has all the problems you'd expect from that, and a playthrough is only around 2 hours long anyway (the different nations are mostly just reskins, there's not too much depth to it). Even back then I only got it as part of a humble bundle, I doubt I would have bought the game on its own. Mobile-ness aside though, it is definitely fun and somewhat unique, I haven't found any other tactical air combat games (well, not computer games, there's definitely some board games like X-Wing) like this in the past 12 years.
Pretty fun game, but the UI and graphics are a bit outdated for 2026

Played it for a bit and it felt like a mobile port shoved onto PC. Turn-based dogfights on hex maps with a few pilot upgrades. Maps look the same, missions repeat, and most of the maneuvers don’t actually matter. Solo play is okay, but it’s shallow… no real strategy beyond picking the right move and hoping RNG doesn’t ruin it. You can see the thought in the planes and pilots, but it never comes together.
