1945 - Airplane shooting game 12+

This game is great. Really well made. The true spirit of the original game is preserved and enhanced.

The big issue I see so far is the huge sticker price on the micro transactions. Do people really pay $80 for a little in-game currency? I don’t get it. I feel like you’d make more money with smaller transactions and higher volume. At least, I hope so. Maybe that one one-percenter brat just buys it all up, doesn’t bat an eye, then deletes app and installs something else tomorrow, I don’t know. Old money is dumb money.

Maybe pay someone with English as a first language to take a pass over your English translations.

Update: this game has a lot of depth and is really well put together. It starts out super easy but progressively gets more difficult, until you’re forced to improve your gameplay to continue. The difficulty balancing reminds me of the Japanese games of the 80s and 90s. Is this a port? They just don’t make games like this anymore.

The monetization has the familiar paywall hidden in the gem currency. Use gems wisely and do the dailies on low difficulty to ensure you’re accruing them. It’s not in your face terrible monetization. I shelled out for the $3 or whatever package just to contribute to a good game and I may do it again if it looks like it will actually get me something tangible.

You also get really good freebies from the events.

Good stuff. I’ll play this for a while.

This game was a blast at first. Loved creating my fleet and shooting things. Then you realize, since there isn’t a player’s manual, that you have to do all these other things to gain the items needed to keep making your fleet better, or you won’t go far at all in the game. Now updates are happening every few days. While the tournaments and special events are cool, they don’t tell you that they keep making it harder to win. The enemies keep getting harder to beat and your planes firepower and armor gets weaker and weaker. Perfect example today- played a daily mission like I always do and win. Then update comes out. After update, play that daily mission again. Can NOT win at all now. Try multiplayer, that I usually do really well in. Matched against someone higher rank but with fewer planes. I don’t even last a minute, lose all my planes and the match. They didn’t lose a single plane. I couldn’t kill any of the enemy that I didn’t have a problem with yesterday. So, yeah, anytime an update says “improve performance” they really mean make it harder to play. If you don’t spend real money, don’t expect to get far. AND it’s expensive! I have bought some cheaper things a couple times but usually everything costs so much! And I know they get this feedback a LOT but they don’t care. They’ll continue down this path until all they have left are people who are willing to spend an exorbitant amount of money, like they want.

A great game inspired by the classics, unfortunately the marketing system is what causes the game to be poor. Now I and everyone else know it’s a free game but besides child gambling (the new gear system) that you developers added the box reward system is awful. Never knowing what reward you get is terrible especially when the only way to rank your plane, wingman and special abilities up is through random methods.A complete waste of time. When one person can get the items they need all randomly and the other players all spend months or years getting the same modules. Next is the price for in game purchases which is astronomically insane. It’s the 21st century a free to play game and your deals are hundreds of dollars??? Is that a joke? One console game is 60$ u.s. no special edition or anything but in this free game one plane cost over 40$ and it’s not even the best. To the developers be realistic it’s a game for kids what kid do you know has hundreds of dollars laying around? Your gonna drive your game into the ground no one wants to grind for days to get the modules they need that’s too unrealistic especially when the replay levels are you know the same thing. Add some boss fights or something to single player protect or bombard missions. Sorry not sorry. Either make your game free to play or make us buy it. This in between in game pay to win stuff is ridiculous.
