Project Wingman

Deer God, you wont regret this. 30 dollars (plus tax) for the Game and DLC for one of the greatest Arcade flight games ever made. When you play this game....... When the Orange comes for you..... Remember me.

Turns out that buying a game purely based on the soundtrack composer is a WONDERFUL idea! Good game, GREAT Ost, and a one-sided rivalry that reminds me suspiciously of Iguazu from Armored Core 6, even though this game came out before it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ A good game to check out if you are in need of more Ace-likes, while you're waiting for AC8, or that little indie game that Yoyoyollie is making.

TL;DR: Ace Combat's true successor, But Lacks variety or challenge. project wingman is what you get when you combine the last 20 years of Ace Combat into a blender and mix it up, but dont add any salt or sugar. "Does it have lots of aces to fight?.".. "yes...." "Does it have ground pounding missions?"... "Yes..." 'Is it big like Ace Combat 5 or 6?".... "Yes" "Does the story leave you compelled?"... "No, not really." Ace com--- I mean Project Wingman is what the Ace Combat community needed, but not what they wanted. This game is fun, I will admit, but the story is uncompelling and it doesn't Think outside the box the way Project Aces does. There is no enemy that you need to change your strategy in order to kill, no tunnel run that challenges your reflexes and forces you to try again over and over until you get it right, No Megafauna enemy that can kill you as a noob... And any of these things would be ubiquitous in any other ace Combat game, but is missing in project Wingman. When you finish this game's campaign, you don't sit back in your chair and contemplate what you just witnessed as the credits roll across your screen. you Simply click through and move on to the next thing to occupy your attention. This is where the game failed irredeemably. That being said, project Wingman fulfills it's niche and nothing more, And for that I feel compelled to give it a positive rating. This specific corner of the gaming community is so niche and hard to come by, that any challenger to Project Ace's monopoly deserves a thorough and accurate review, barring any undue hostility. This is not War Thunder, and it never will be. So don't pretend that it is, And give it the respect it deserves.

10/10 Came looking for diamond, found cordium.

Очень хороший младший брат эйс комбата. Меньше сюжета, меньше самолетов, меньше кинематографичности, зато масштабнее бои и арсенал для них. Эйс комбат - когда хочется челлендж. Вингмен - когда хочется полетать на самолете и поубивать врагов. Как-то так.

Project Peakman

A love letter to Ace Combat made as only die-hard fans could. The passion and appreciation of the devs is spelled in every moment of the game. If you like Ace Combat, you'll like Wingman. Positives: All the aircraft have cool paint jobs, no need to unlock or buy anything. Makes sense for a merc. Good variety of aircraft and special weapons. They put in lots more sci-fi than other related titles and that makes the world that much richer. It's somewhat reminiscent of Crimson Skies in the regard. It's a fun game that never sacrifices the fun for authenticity or realism. On the other hand, it never goes off the rails. Voice acting is great for an indie game. I only heard one line that really stuck out as goofy in the entire game. I could keep going till I'm blue in the face on things I like about this game. Frankly, I like this more than Ace Combat 7. My only negative point is that if you look close you can see the imperfections inherent in any indie game. However, the dev acknowledge this in a short comment at the end of the campaign and this is far from the worst indie title I've ever played.
