It’s great, a campaign would make it fantastic
Tue Aug 30 2022 EasyEldilIt’s a smooth, intuitive realization of the board game, and it makes playing with friends online easy. Here are some things that would make it even better for me:
* a campaign; a set of overarching, branching missions with an accompanying narrative
* an ability to turn off the cinematic, particularly the “shot down” black and white cinematic which sometimes make it unclear who was actually shot down, and break immersion
* an ability to compare maneuver decks or damage decks; when I’m picking between an “b” or “c” maneuver deck, I have no way to visually compare them
* an ability to restart challenge mission; some of these missions are hard (which is good), and if you make a mistake early on, the only way to restart the mission is exiting to the main menu and then navigating back to the challenges menu
Overall, great implementation of a great game. It gives an enjoyable simulation of early aerial dogfights in a turn-based form.
Great But Could Be Even Better
Fri Dec 16 2022 NcraximusLove this game it’s definitely going down the right track. A few suggestions that would make this game even better. I will second what a lot of reviewers are saying about a campaign mode, that would be a fantastic idea! Also for online play, an option where you can start an online game with random players and then each player has 24 hours to do their turn. This will allow some flexibility instead of having to constantly log in and see if a game is available and/or if you don’t have time to play a complete game in a short period of time. Please consider and thanks!
Play area
Wed Jul 27 2022 Great game of RomeThis is a great app for the famous table top card and miniature model game of the same name. This app is a great tool to teach you how to play the original game. It’s also fun as a stand-alone game. My recommendation is to increase the size of the play area in the dogfight scenarios. This will allow high speed fighters to use their abilities. It’ll also allow aircraft to maneuver for the initial merge. Looking forward to more aircraft to be included. I’ll start a large collection of aircraft! Thank you and keep up the great job of product development.
Campaign Ideas
Mon Sep 05 2022 Pin.ballerAs others have noted, a campaign would be great. Ideas for a campaign:
- Start out as a rookie and gradually accumulate skills up to a high ranking ace.
- Consider following the history of a known ace fighter and use that for a storyline
- As you progress through a campaign, start out in early years of the war and the available planes during that time, then as the campaign and war goes on, make new planes available as they would have come to be later in the war.
- Provide historical “flavor text” as part of the campaign, explaining the significant differences between planes, fighters, battles, etc. Maybe make this skippable incase someone wants to get quickly to the mission.
Love the app! Off to a great start. Just some more ideas to keep it going. Thank you!
Great adaptation of a classic
Fri Aug 12 2022 horsepireIf you haven’t played the tabletop version, or if you, like me, can’t play it as often as you’d like, get this app. It’s a very smooth adaptation of the tabletop version, a fast-paced but historically accurate WWI dogfighting extravaganza. The developers are planning to add more planes/scenarios, and already put in bigger dogfighting maps at the request of the players. Awesome game. Get.
Fun, but never changes
Fri Jun 30 2023 Mahut23I like the tabletop game a lot and decided to support it more by buying the app. For the price, I would expect it to get updates with more planes or a campaign or something new periodically. It has not changed since I purchased it two years ago. They maybe added leaderboards. But the planes and scenarios are still the same. It’s like all those early access games out that never get updates once the devs get your money. For the price, it’s not worth it. Save yourself some money
Clean and user friendly
Sun Jul 24 2022 Mysto680I really enjoy the game. Even though I wish it would show exactly where my planes end up after cards are played, i understand exactly why as that is where skill comes into play. Great game.
Very good game adaptation
Wed Aug 14 2024 Dan in OrangeMany have already written about a campaign mode and more aircraft.
I would also add the ability to play when there is no Wi-Fi. There are times I have no access to Wi-Fi and the game won’t load all the way. It’s very frustrating.
As for gameplay, it is excellent and true to the tabletop miniatures.
Fun game, pls add more UX polish
Mon Aug 15 2022 Tony VanReally like the game. Would like to see a fast camera orientation to point the camera with plane forward, as pinch rotate is not fast.
Also would like to auto zoom to all planes on screen.
Also, would love an actual campaign.
Desperately needs update!
Tue Jun 04 2024 Viola Davis is a KangarooIt’s really annoying to have to constantly press the tiny confirm button at the corner far away from my hand. Having to confirm is not even necessary anyway! Every single turn…. also, it makes you play through a tutorial and read instead of just letting you watch a video which is ridiculous. Update this to fix these mistakes and I will give a 5 star review.
