Community Insight:
As 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.
Its 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 us: 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 Im picking between an b or c maneuver deck, we 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.
If you havent played the tabletop version, or if you, like us, cant play it as often as youd like, get this app. Its 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.
Many have already written about a campaign mode and more aircraft. We would also add the ability to play when there is no Wi-Fi. There are times we have no access to Wi-Fi and the game wont load all the way. Its very frustrating. As for gameplay, it is excellent and true to the tabletop miniatures.
Love this game its definitely going down the right track. A few suggestions that would make this game even better. We 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 dont have time to play a complete game in a short period of time. Please consider and thanks.
Really 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.
We like the tabletop game a lot and decided to support it more by buying the app. For the price, we would expect it to get updates with more planes or a campaign or something new periodically. It has not changed since we purchased it two years ago. They maybe added leaderboards. But the planes and scenarios are still the same. Its like all those early access games out that never get updates once the devs get your money. For the price, its not worth it. Save yourself some money.
Repetitive and doesnt have content (missions, campaign) to keep your interest. Definitely not worth the price.
Without a campaign this game is pointless. WITH a campaign and a story, this game would be epic. It would give the player a sense of purpose for playing each mission and satisfaction in the struggle for victory. Please take this game and make it great. The potential is there.
Great game. Hopefully more planes soon and www version.
Really enjoy it so far, cannot wait for a sails of glory version , hint hint.
This 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. Its also fun as a stand-alone game. Our recommendation is to increase the size of the play area in the dogfight scenarios. This will allow high speed fighters to use their abilities. Itll also allow aircraft to maneuver for the initial merge. Looking forward to more aircraft to be included. Ill start a large collection of aircraft! Thank you and keep up the great job of product development.
Needs more planes, larger map, campaign mode. Then it will be 5 stars.
Only complaint is we seem to be missing quite a few of our achievements.
We really enjoy the game. Even though we wish it would show exactly where our planes end up after cards are played, we understand exactly why as that is where skill comes into play. Great game.
Its what youd hope a tabletop adaptation would be. Its also available on Steam.
Doubt that there will be enough players for good multiplayer so hoping AI will be kept strong. Excellent port of the game. No problems so far. When will new planes be added. Anxious to fly our favorite, the S.E. 5.
