Aces of the Luftwaffe

никому не рекомендую, я купил чисто из за ностальгии.

fun ww2 game even though it is not very accurate to real life the game is still fun in its own ways

👍

Dark Souls и Hollow Knight моего детства, который плохо портировали на пк. Во первых, почему-то игру сделали горизонтальной, хотя на телефоне она была вертикальной, и кажется я догадываюсь, почему. Видимо разработчику было просто лень подстраивать масштаб изображения под широкоэкранные мониторы, из-за чего он просто его перевернул. Из-за этого возникла новая проблема: всё на экране стало выглядеть сжато, плюс, стало мало места для манёвра своим самолётом, а также стало трудно разглядеть самолёты, летящие на тебя с углов. Во вторых, гринд в этой игре каким был, таким и остался. Тебе постоянно приходится проходить одних и тех же боссов, чтобы нормально прокачать свой самолёт (ведь без прокачки на новых уровнях тебе придётся не сладко). Также оставили и дурацкую систему покупки новых глав за нехилое количество медалек (750 медалей за новую главу это нормально?). Также хочется отметить нечестных боссов в главах 3 и 5. Босс из третьей главы тупо поливает тебя огнём со всех сторон и не даёт аптечек, из-за чего ты будешь помирать на нём 6 раз уж точно. Босс 5-ой главы не сильно от него отличается (но хотя бы аптечку даёт на одной из фаз и на том спасибо), плюс, на последней фазе он начинает стрелять фейерверками, от которых нормально увернутся практически невозможно (еле как прошёл его). Сложить всё это с сжатым экраном и получается пытка. Хочется рассказать и про не очень удобное управление: тебе всё время приходится удерживать ЛКМ, чтобы просто летать и стрелять. Также, чтобы активировать спец-атаку, тебе нужно нажать на пробел, но обычный игрок не сможет понять, куда ему нажимать, так как в игре про это ничего не говорится (я лично узнал про пробел благодаря одному отзыву на эту игру). Что мешало разработчику добавить небольшой туториал по управлению (притом, что для джостиков он его сделал)? А теперь о плюсах: у игры хорошие стилистика, озвучка боссов и замечательный саундтрек, который запоминается. В принципе это всё. Все остальные плюсы перекрывают неадекватный гринд, сжатый экран во время игры и нечестные боссы. Моя оценка 5/10 На телефоне играть в эту игру было в разы лучше.

I want to start off by saying that I probably have close to 30 hours in this game in mobile and in other pc ports. It was a classic for small me. Aces of the Luftwaffe is one of the rather compact bullet hells. It's very humble in its presentation and doesn't overstay its welcome in terms of level count. But it gets close. You find yourself replaying old levels and re-doing certain boss fights over and over again just to get enough in-game currency to upgrade your plane to slightly even the odds against the harder bosses. The grind in this game is especially boring. And calling these bosses hard is an understatement. Fights often don't teach you anything with each death, it is mostly trial-and-error and these guys have quite a lot of attacks and gimmicks up their sleeve you need to memorize. No room for mistakes. They hit like a truck and getting hit once at the start or the middle of the fight marks you for death until the end. And when it's all over, the game just kinda... ends? Yeah. It's very anticlimactic and I can't give a positive rating just because of that. You don't get a prize other than the thousands of in-game currency you don't need (Which is awarded the first time you beat each boss anyways so it's nothing special) since you already spent hours grinding for the boss fights. I would have loved seeing a secret level, a new plane or even unlocking a new, secret upgrade but you get basically nothing other than the bragging right of beating the PC port of a ten-something year old mobile game which no one cares about.

Ну, чисто классическая леталка. Приятная пиксельная графика, большая разновидность врагов, 5 уровней, боссы в конце каждой главы, 3 вида самолетов и прокачка. И вроде все отлично, но в игре, чтобы нормально пройти уровни, нужно еще больше нифигово погриндить. Ибо прокачка стоит дорого, а игровой валюты за уничтожение врагов мало. А без прокачки тех же самых боссов одолеть почти нереально В итоге получаем неплохую самолетный шутер, с хорошим визуалом, неплохим звуковым сопровождением, но огромным гриндом

I'd say it's a cute little game, except that it's a shoddy mobile port, and boy does it show: - Forget about keyboard, forget about analog steering. The only playable control method is the mouse, hope you like holding down LMB the entire time because YOU MIGHT WANNA CLICK ON THE SUPERPOWER BUTTON you're gonna use with Space anyway, because what's RMB? No such thing on mobiles! Also, no way to rebind controls. - Everything's gated by the in-game currency aka medals. Everything. New planes? Buy with medals. Upgrades? Medals. New missions? Medals. And it's gonna get grindy as hell real quick, so do yourself a favor and just cheat yourself a million of them. - The game itself is pretty barebones, I've seen many shooters a lot better in the 90s. I appreciate escort/bombing/stealth missions for some variety, but weapons could use some too. - ed: I just realized: WHERE'S THE FREAKING ENDING? You kill the last boss (with his last stage cheaty as hell even with max upgrades), mission accomplished, and... that's it. Same as all previous missions. Not even a congratulations screen. I guess that's par for the course for this game *shrug*

A classic bullet hell from the days of actually good and creative mobile games. I remember playing when there were only 2 planes and 3 chapters! Unfortunately, not everything translated well from mobile, and nostalgia can't save a bad port. File editing can though! Since the game was designed with micro transactions in mind, the upgrades become absurdly expensive! The game can definitely be a challenge without them. Don't worry though! For windows, you can easily edit save data at ...AppData\Local\aotl and set your medallions to a stupidly high value. (100,000 is a good amount) If you don't want to kill the progression for yourself, a good way to experience the game is to play the missions in order with one plane at a time, and buy an upgrade of choice on your current plane for every mission/boss completed. Ensure your upgrades are evenly distributed for extra balance. With the mindless grinding removed and a solid progression system implemented, you can now enjoy the game. Or you could just... Beat the game without any upgrades. I plan to try this someday. Additional notes: The game is horizontal. I personally feel the game is best experienced in vertical mode. Unfortunately, this isn't mobile, and I don't have the ability to turn my monitor 90 degrees. Not a big deal though. Achievements are pretty fair, and only a few of them will take a while to get. The game does have a notable difficulty spike in Chapter 3. The difficulty can be smoothed out by playing Chapter 4 first if you wish. Finally, the graphics are a little rough on the edges on modern resolutions. The pixel art has aged well though so it kinda balances out. I would definitely recommend this game on sale if you played it back on the day on mobile or if you are just a big fan of the genre. This game is quite short, and isn't terribly hard to beat, but can be worth the price for sure.

Poderiam ao menos ter ajustado a velocidade da nave nesse port a velocidade esta muito alta a mais baixa. Nao da para jogar principalmente por esse fator, vc nao consegue desviar dos tiros, pois eh ruim de controlar a nave. Talvez em outro dispositivo seja bom, mas a versao do PC nao recomendo, olha que precisa ser algo muito ruim para nao recomendar um jogo, pois no geral eu nao sou muito critico, mas nesse caso nao tem como.

"I wanted to like this game", no, I liked this game for the sprites having done them myself and being an avid kitmaker, they were good for what they were, fighters, but done in the "egg" style to make them cute, but also because of limited space. The game was grindy, but it seemed fair as in, really slowly and surely you progressed. Now you can't do that anymore, as your saves keep getting wiped every few weeks. The game desyncs and you can't resync it unless you got into properties, verify the files, then you can save again until everything gets wiped again. I looked past the fact that it was a mobile port for the GFX and getting somewhere slowly but surely, but now you can't and the game is abandoned. Have a look in the discussions about the save problem. This problem means that you can't progress very far in the game anymore without having all your grind taken away from you and reset, and of course it is now impossible to finish achievements in that game. Finally the art direction for the characters was funny and well done and the story was not bad for a mobile game port either. The German team should be commended for those efforts and for the voice acting to create a complete game world. There are no other reviews that mention this, so after checking, I thought I'd put this heads up in here. As other reviews have said, the Second iteration of this game is still working. I suspect it's a windows 11 problem, but it's abandoned at the time of writing, so no remedy, don't buy this broken game.
