It’s amazing but is missing some crucial things

Don't get me wrong, this is a great, great game. Amazing graphics and plane selection. However, there are a few things I’d like to highlight. Firstly, there’s the problem of the campaign. I was honestly really disappointed with the campaign. If you loved it, that’s fine, but hear me out. You can’t call it a campaign just because they have the same characters. They were more like separate standalone missions. I wish it had a more flushed out story with more than ten missions. The next thing is the combat. When you fire your guns over the crosshairs, they auto lock so all you have to do is point your plane’s nose in the general direction. I wish it was more like War Wings where you actually had to line it up and aim as you fired. Lastly is plane control. When you slow down, you slow down very quickly. Depending on what your doing, it should have different levels of deceleration. Then there’s the maneuvers. The maneuvers could use a lot of work. They are very precise and don’t have that natural feel of the plane committing to and coming out of the maneuver. It’s like it’s on a rail so it doesn’t actually look right or natural when you do them. Again, I wish it was more like War Wings with the natural movements of the plane in the maneuvers. These are the reasons the game only gets three stars in my opinion. If you guys could fix this that would be incredible.

New & Improved WW2 Aerial Combat

For any fan of the original Sky Gamblers: Storm Raiders, this game is MUST HAVE! Atypical Games Presents an Exciting New Adventure that casts the player directly into the Fearsome, Treacherous Skies of World War 2! Improving heavily on its predecessor, this game contains improved graphics, smoother controls, each Machine Gun now has its own unique sound, and best of all, Hearing The Pilot Speak! With every downed enemy and alert to the Player or the Squad, the Pilot Talks in a deep, radioed voice that sounds so Cool! It’s so absolutely satisfying to shoot down an enemy Plane and you hear the Pilot remark, “Gottcha!” Try playing this game with headphones, or through the Speaker in your car...A real treat for the ears! The only downside I can say for this game...it’s Canpaign is just too darn short! I mean, there is definitely replay value with higher difficulties and new challenges to unlock, but I just wanted the adventure to be longer, didn’t like to see the fun end so soon! Other than that...this game is worth Every Penny! So Buckle Up and prepare yourself for a Gut-Busting Good Time!

Apple Design award winners for a reason

I’ve had the honor and privilege to meet the guys from Atypical in SF a few times and they have won the apple design award for a reason. The talent and dedication to their games is inspiring. The negative reviews seem to be from players who simply are not good enough and feel like taking revenge or of a younger generation who feel that for the price of a cup of coffee you should still receive a lifetime warranty of updates. I myself feel that if you can make a game of art this stunning for less than 5 dollars it is a steal since the developers do have families to feed and I get hours and hours of pleasure. If you are at all interested in ww2 airplanes or in flying sims just get this game and enjoy the amazing graphics. Forget about the nonsensical teenage angst haters that have some growing up to do and join me and many others in an online game. I’d give it 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This game, to me anyways, is much better than SG SR 1. Pros:———Absolutely gorgeous graphicsDecent campaignGreat plane selectionFree plane customizationNot too challenging, but not too easy eitherCons:———Graphics can drain battery pretty fastCampaign is only 10 missionsNot a whole lot of players online, but there are someHistorical accuracy for ships at Pearl Harbor is badPlanes appear larger at a distance, which can be disorienting.Please note a lot of these are just me nitpicking at all the little problems, it is a great game!Recommendations for future updates:———More missions would be nice, maybe some more for the USA like the battle of Midway or Normandy. (definitely would like more missions for the pacific theatre)I would like to see more planes in the future, maybe the Horton 229, Hellcat, PBY, or maybe even the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress!It would be nice if you could write the nickname of the plane on the nose of the plane, like the Memphis Belle or Old Crow.So, in conclusion, if you want more missions and less great graphics, go for the original. If you want amazing graphics more than missions, I’d definitely recommend this game. P.S. I was not paid by Atypical at all for this review. This is solely my opinion.Sorry for the long review, and thanks if you read the whole thing!
