Skies above the Great War

Very decent game at a great price

Kaufempfehlung von mir. Sehr schönes Gameplay, und tolle Grafik. Für so ein kleines Studio ist das eine echt gute Leistung. Natürlich darf man keinen AAA Titel erwarten. Die Idee hinter dem Game ist das, was mich fasziniert. Leider schon lange kein Update mehr.

Broken mess, bad design, iffy and poorly designed UI functionality, incredibly small number of aircraft in play. Air combat is either poorly simulated (if allowed to resolve itself), or boring (if the player handles it). The real-time strategic layer was a serious mistake, as was the way aircraft and pilot assignment is handled. The dev himself has said he's putting much less effort into the game because it didn't sell well enough and he had to get a job, so I don't expect much improvement. Btw, I didn't actually play 20 hours at review time. It was more like 8, but the game froze at one point and made Steam think it was still going.

No es para mí

Picked this up on sale a few days ago and have not been able to put it down. While the game is not perfect, I found it to be very addictive. There does not appear to be a tutorial and there is not a lot of explanation in game (a civopedia type drop down might be a nice addition if the dev has time), but the steam discussion board has had fairly quick responses to questions that i have asked. I have also seen some bugs that were mentioned in the past that were fixed. I did not expect to like the arcade flight sim as I bought it simply for the strategy portion of the game. The mouse controls are a bit yippy, but it was fun to track down a zepplin and shoot it down. The strategy portion of the game has room for improvement, but I have had plenty of fun with the strategy portion of the game. There appear to be some oddities that hopefully the dev will address in the future: while you are able to make new bases while playing the campaign, it does not appear that the cpu opponent takes the opportunity to make new airbases in this version of the game (v2.1). Also, some of the variable mission assignments have not worked well (not sure if that is due to a mistake on my part or if its a bug - the dev has responded that he is looking into it). There are plenty of AI options to offload your workload in the game - the most frustrating part of the game for me personally is to not accidentally hit the airbase ai button while trying to select my planes that are over the base. It would be nice if we could check a box to turn those ai buttons off. I had such a blast with the game that i made a mini-mod called "First Base Start" that has one base on each side. This small mod lets you focus on one base until you get the hang of the controls in the game. I have seen some mentions in the discussion page of people that have problems with the game running. I have not had that experience. I have played the game on two computers - one is 14yo highend (at the time - at least i hope it was highend since I blew so much money on it) gaming laptop, the other is a mid quality (at the time) gaming desktop from about 6yo. The laptop has a little stutter now and then (but keep in mind its on its last legs) and it appears to run fine on the desktop.

So far its pretty solid game with very balanced gameplay. Mechanics are simple to understand, i espacially love when you can let AI handle things. With that way you can either play as pilot in frontline or general officer that tries to supply aircraft to bases lol. Aircraft gameplay is bit janky but thats not the main focus of the game so it can be easily ignored. I desperately need WWII version of this.

Two games in one! A very (very, very) basic flight sim that is still a lot of fun, and a management game that is catnip for Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome junkies that lets you manage aerodrome, squadrons, planes, pilots, missions, etc. If you know who Werner Voss and Mick Mannock were, you are going to eat this game up!

Fun and simple air combat/war management game. Combat is fun and it mixes arcade with simplified sim mechanics. Very difficult to learn the controls & UI at times. A lot of trial & error + googling. Overall a good game, def pick up on sale.

jogo simplesmente fantástico pra quem curte a aviação e a primeira guerra mundial e os pilotos famosos que se destacaram nesse conflito.

Игра с большим потенциалом.
