This is a game about the underground dog fighting scene in 1942. I haven't played it much because I love animals-mostly just the cute ones that do tricks. The rest can go screw. But shout out to the ones that taste good.

This game is more fun than ACE COMBAT ASSAULT HORIZON. in game system is good but there are some minor bugs. The story may be slightly distorted. It is not much different from World War 2.

It seems to work perfectly on steam deck now. But make sure to setup xbox 360 controls in the initial setup menue and arcade controls in the in-game menue. It's very hard to control in simulation mode as everything is TOO responsive. If you ever played this game on playstation, arcade controls will be very familiar to you. The acting is cheesy but the game is incredibly fun. It plays a lot like ace combat. They really nailed it with the machine gun controls in this game. It's a simple, no frills action game that goes back and fourth between the USA and Britain. The expansions include the British Africa campaign and the USSR campaigns. The USSR campaign is the most enjoyable imo and probably has the best acting as well.

It's a very fun shooter. I had it on PS3 back in the day and had completely forgotten about it. Playing it now it's still very fun.

This is a cool little game if you know what you're buying, for this is not a flight simulator. If you're familiar with Star Wars: Rogue Squadron or Jedi Starfighter you know what you're in for! This is basically a WW2 version of those games. The flying feels nice, the cartoony graphics are nice enough to look at, the game doesn't outstay its welcome as it only took me 2 hours to beat. But as such, I'd only recommend this during a sale; I paid 1,5€ for this and I don't regret it. I also must mention the sound design! Your own plane sounds a bit dull but I love the roaring of the engines when you fly near other planes. Edit: Oh, for some reason the UI is in Italian despite having set "English" in the settings. No idea why, but I managed to get through the game just fine by guessing what the UI is saying.
