Best Game in the App Store

This is going to be a longer review as I want to be as thorough as possible because of all the games I play, THIS is the one I am most passionate about.

I have been playing this for several months now and it is a well thought out and developed air simulation game. Game play is an absolute BLAST with top notch players that understand the difference between flying for ones self and flying for the team. My dad worked for Grumman, so I also really appreciate the mention of Grumman, Lockhead, and Mcdonald Douglas in the credits. For me, what sets this game apart from the rest is the developers. There is a discord server associated with this game and the developers pay close attention to ANY mention of bugs. This is NOT one of those where they deployed it and then forgot it. The team stays close to their users and engages often which makes you feel (even as just a player) that you are part of a community which is just AMAZING!! Now, I am NOT saying there are a lot of bugs, what I am saying is that the developers don't hide behind a fake customer service group when there are issues.

All in all, this is an awesome game that you can pay to advance, or not, either way you remain competitive with jets that are carefully designed equally. My husband and I fly together every night for HOURS and have a blast which we haven't been able to do since the downfall of War Wings. Many props to the development and testing team on such an awesome job!!

Five Minute Round PvP Perfection

This is probably the most fun I’ve had playing a flight combat game on my phone so far. The 5v5 PvP timed matches are perfect for a quick break during the day or logging repeated back to back sessions while working through a new aircraft.

Yes, I’ve heard about people complaining about how an A-6 would never stand up in a dogfight against a F-16, let alone a MiG-21, but that’s part of what makes it fun. You’d never see these interactions in a combat simulator, but if that’s what you’re looking for, go somewhere else. Each class (light fighter, medium fighter, attack, etc.) has it’s advantages and bonuses, and you’ll find certain planes do better in certain environments. Once you unlock the special ability of a particular aircraft, you can really unlock its potential.

The first plane you get, the F-5, is a quick and nimble fighter that has enough punch to make you feel like you’re not outclassed by the pilot flying the F-15 or the Su-57. Once you get going, you can combine missiles, rockets and guns and take out an entire team in a single pass if the situation is right. And launching a missile and finishing off the enemy with your guns just makes it easier to thread one encounter into the next. Once you get rolling, you can really do some damage to the other team. My record so far is 11 kills. I can’t put it down!

Favorite Game in a Long Time

I remember the days of HAWX and the Ace Combats, Project Wingman, and Crimson Skies, and I still play PW and AC7, but it’s been a LONG time since I’ve been so enthralled and excited about a game. I play on iPhone, and even with my antiquated iPhone XR, this game runs beautifully, stutters some but I can’t blame the game. This is an old phone. But the details on the planes and the maneuverability models and weapons details, this is absolutely beyond anything I could’ve hoped for. It’s so absolutely beautiful and fun as any game I’ve ever played. Even thrust vectoring aircraft, ITS MODELED, there are main game titles that don’t do that. This game has absolutely taken over my free time (what little I get). And I have never had more fun. Only thing I’d ding it for is the over the top grinding, not bad but boring, so I’m hoping for some more game modes. Like ground attack missions with the abundance of attack planes, and more of just an impatient me thing, grinding levels for only 10 aircraft credits per level.

All in all, this game is SO FREAKING AWESOME, and it’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time.
