About Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces

✦ AI summary

Take command of over 30 meticulously detailed WWI aircraft and dominate the skies across three global campaigns featuring diverse mission types from dogfighting to bombing runs. Choose between straightforward aerial combat in Pilot Mode or the deeper strategic layer of Squadron Leader Mode where you manage pilots, resources, and base operations.

Be a pioneer of aerial warfare in Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces. Fight above the battlefields of World War I and become the ultimate Sky Ace!
The game will take you into the times when aviation was in its dawning of existence – the first Wright brothers machines went into the sky just 11 years before the Great War! Engineers were quickly adapting this brand new invention into military purposes while creating fascinating and sometimes oddly looking planes.
In Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces you take control of over 30 historical airplanes – including the Fokker Dr.I, famous for its pilot Manfred von Richthofen a.k.a. “Red Baron”. Others stemming from light fighters like the Airco DH.2 to an enormous 4-engine bomber like the Sikorsky Ilya Muromets – all planes can be customized and upgraded.
Choose between two modes suited for different playstyles and skillsets. In Pilot Mode you can simply focus on air combat, collecting and upgrading planes. Squadron Leader Mode adds an extra layer to the gameplay – apart from combat, you also need to manage resources, hire and train pilots and expand your base.
Two campaigns for Triple Entente and one for Central Powers will let you experience all major fronts of World War I – you’ll fly above most countries that participated in the conflict in various types of mission. Pilot fighters and bombers. Protect or destroy ground targets. Face mighty zeppelins and anti aircraft artillery to change the tides of war.

Fun and Easy to pick up and play
Not recommended Oct 5, 2026
I found this game to be poor quality. Using a controller is very troublesome. When I can't play one mission, the controller doesn't work for the next. When I go back to the mission, the controller works again until the next mission, when it stops working again. This is a simple arcade game. I got bored very quickly. You can buy upgraded planes with cash. No wonder the game is free, because it feels unfinished and cheaply made.

Flying fragile WWI machines into dogfights, bombing runs, and battles against zeppelins makes for a fun change from modern aviation games. The large selection of historical aircraft and optional squadron management add just enough depth without turning every flight into homework.

Good. The option to take off and land would have been a nice ability.

Tried it, bored

Absolutely ridiculous. Air combat piloting game where you can't use a flight stick. Just no. I mean, how flipping retarded. Ten minutes was too long to play the game.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
