Dinsun Review
I was hoping for a bit of a challenge here, something that required actual pilot intuition. Instead, I got a game that feels like it’s on rails. The 'emergencies' are mostly cosmetic; you just tilt your phone and hope the physics engine doesn't decide to freak out on the runway. There’s no weight to the planes, and the flight model is so simplified it borders on patronizing.
The graphics are mediocre at best—the ground textures look like they were pulled from a 2005 PC game. It’s also incredibly repetitive. Once you’ve landed on one runway, you’ve landed on them all, regardless of whether you have one engine or none. It’s a 4/10 time-waster that fails to capture any of the drama its title suggests. It’s more of a 'slight inconvenience landing' than an 'emergency landing.'
