In short, it's a game for those who played Ace Combat and crave a little more. If you're looking for a realistic flight sim, this isn't the place. If you're looking for crazy fun in jets with 100+ missiles, this is just for you. Project Wingman offers quite a challenge, with no mission checkpoints, unique bosses, and interesting environments. The game contains a variety of jets that are desperately avoiding copyright. The core gameplay is simple, launch missiles and shoot bullets at anything in your way. I appreciate just how much the small team put into this game. You can definitely feel the passion behind the level design, music, aircraft, and worldbuilding. It has it's flaws, but I would recommend Project Wingman to anyone looking for arcade-like air combat games, and especially to anyone who enjoyed any of the Ace Combat games.

This is not a simulator. It is so much better. Drifting through the air while firing a railgun and destroying an airship the size of an aircraft carrier for the first time is an experience you wont forget.

I once heard Project Wingman described as "a simulator game, but it doesn't simulate reality, it simulates the feeling of being a 6 year old kid playing with toy fighter jets", and I think that is a perfect description.

Project Wingman is a flight combat game originally funded on Kickstarter and heavily inspired by the Ace Combat series. As someone who worked on multiple Ace Combat titles, I am deeply impressed with the faithfulness, the attention to detail, and the intensity that the extremely small development team managed to produce. It is very clear to me that Project Wingman was more than a labor of love for the developers - for them, it was a calling. Let Project Wingman stand as a testament that the only barrier to creating a great game is the limitation of your own dream. Visually, Project Wingman is beautiful. Even though there are no real-world aircraft in the game (for obvious licensing reasons), there are clear inspirations that still look excellent. The soundtrack is easily on par with Keiki Kobayashi's best. Jose Pavli not only stuck by the staples of Ace Combat mission themes, but built upon them with his own unique twist, masterfully crafting tracks which are exciting, immersive, memorable, and passionate. It cannot be overstated just how fantastic the music in this game is. The game's backstory involves a cataclysmic event hundreds of years in the past that changed the face of the Earth and transformed the political powers and borders of the world. I did find it amusing that after hundreds of years we are evidently still using the same aircraft and other weapons of war, but I see what FlyAwayNow was going for. Flying as a mercenary and getting swept up in an international conflict brings a lot of opportunity for introspection and exploration. In Ace Combat games, there are twists and turns until the protagonist force embodies righteous justice and the antagonist force has become desperately violent to the point of insanity. In Project Wingman, I was much more conflicted about whether my side was even in the right, given their bloodthirstiness - something I doubt was intended by the writer. I would never expect to hear my allies and companions shout "kill them all!" in an Ace Combat game, where the characters use fighting as a means to an end and lament any loss of life. There are text bugs in the game, but nothing jarring. Nevertheless, the events in the game were communicated very effectively, and you feel like you're on a tumultuous journey in an unforgiving land. Because there are no cutscenes in the game (or much of anything outside of text and audio), I did find that it took longer for me to follow the identity of the characters. This was a known budgetary constraint, but I nevertheless did feel impacted by this. Even sequences of still images would have gone a long way here. The UI in Project Wingman is overall quite good, although I did encounter some hiccups. It took me a few missions to learn how to use special weapons, when I had to go back to the Settings menu to confirm the default controller bindings (eventually I did find this intuitive, but it is a departure). The loadout flow is similarly confusing, as it is not very clear initially that ordnance selection is sequential. Ace Combat games use a visual flow indicator to communicate your position, and this would have been appreciated. However, the combat UI contains some quality of life that makes the game much more immersive: persistent health overlays for enemy combat squadrons and the shakiness and distortion from world effects (such as clouds) add a ton to the experience. RB-02 really did a phenomenal job here. Even though the missions themselves are fun, the mission variety is pretty thin. You won't find missions requiring a certain score, missions requiring re-arming or aerial refueling, or anything reminiscent of Ace Combat's notorious tunnel missions. This may have been a design choice to keep things streamlined, but it also means a missed opportunity to take some risks with mission objectives. A minor gripe: sometimes missions take too long to end, long after all the dialogue has wrapped up. Boss fights are extremely engaging, tense, and rewarding. The team really pulled out all the stops on those. Overall, I had a wonderful time with Project Wingman, and it's a very easy recommend to any Ace Combat fan. The developers deserve every accolade, and hopefully they are inspired to pursue future games in this vein. They certainly have my interest.
