Early Access Review Bin happened to come across this Game and thrilled after 7 Rounds.
Even at this early Stage, the Game impresses with a fascinatingly deep Gaming experience with an extremely simple Interface. Entertaining, still tactical and you can literally feel the Speed and the G-forces!!
The Use of BVR weapons, a clean Lock-on of the IR guided missile, the skillful Timing of the Afterburner or the Triggering of the Flares are not gifted, but are also not too complex. And if necessary, you can resort to the Cannon-here, too, one has to assess the Danger whether the Reduction of the speed for the Ground Goal is not too risky ...
The Weapon Selection is quite sufficient and you can adapt to the situation of the Team By cleverly choosing aircraft and leveling in the Rounds.
The Statistics Hunt of other, big Titles doesn't come up with me ...
I'm surprised at how well thought out the individual Elements of this Game are balanced. I would just need more Maps and, if necessary, other ' Planes ' (only visually, not from The Armament), everything else fits!

Early Access Review I stumbled across this Game in the Steam sale and as a big Aircraft fan it appealed to me straight away, of course. Since it is designed as a Multiplayer Game, I have of course checked on steamdb how many People are online ... Hmmm, unfortunately quite a little:(.
But then I thought to myself that if everyone doesn't buy it because of that, then it will never be any different. So I just struck.
First Up: It was worth the £5.99in Sale just as much as the £9.99s of the regular Price. The Game has been made more or less by a single Person and shines with great Attention to Detail. The Flight Behaviour of the Machines feels absolutely magnificent and the Well-known "easy to learn, hard to master" applies to the game itself.
You don't have To worry about the fact that only a few People are online, because on the one hand the matches are filled with Bots, on the other Hand there are usually only one or two Lobbies in which you are not alone for long. I always had a human Opponent within a couple of Minutes.
The Scope of the Game is completely ok, 3 maps, 8 different Aircraft in which each has its own Role and of course several bars and Skins in the Form of Nose-and-tail art that need to be unlocked.
As the only Criticism I would like to make is that there is currently only the Mode in which you have to destroy the enemy Bases, but maybe a pure Dogfight Mode is added here.
I can only recommend joining the Disc Group, which is very active and also the Developer himself is there "tangible."
Above All, however, you notice, and I am particularly pleased about this, that this Game was created with great Attention to Detail, and that is just a pleasure!
So If it should appeal to you, then buy it without thinking long and go xD.
With this In mind: Luck off, well country!
