About

The skies over Europe are a dangerous place, where ace pilots lead their squadrons to glorious victory or crushing defeat! Take control of dozens of the most famous fighter planes of WWI and head into the dogfight. Roll, slip, and loop to get the drop on enemy aces. Upgrade your fighters over the course of your campaign and promote your best pilots so they learn new skills to give them an edge in battle. Can you change the tide of the war? Or will you go down in flames to an enemy ace?

    That said, if you were one of the people who liked the gameplay in the first game but couldn't get behind the free-to-play model, here's your chance to vote with your wallet and get a completely IAP-free Ace Patrol in exchange for some of your hard-earned cash.

    Ace Patrol is expertly constructed, from the cel-shaded look of the graphics to the fantastic sound effects and the way the hexagonal maps are laid out. Because of the way it’s put together, it doesn’t matter that it sends you on your way to battling enemy pilots after just a few brief tutorial missions. You figure out what you need to learn as you go.

    Having played so many of the Firaxis' games and having spent so much time learning their intricate mechanics, I'm pleased to report the simple elegance of Sid Meier's Ace Patrol doesn't diminish the satisfaction and underlying depth the studio is known for.

    All in all we wouldn't hesitate to recommend that any strategy fan gets stuck into at least the free content that's on offer here, and it's a wise distribution model given that there's not a great deal of hand-holding or explanation of the game's core mechanics. But if it's true that you have to work to uncover the game's deeper charms by yourself, it's also true that those charms are there to be found in abundance.

    Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol is a fantastic strategy title that any fan of aviation or the genre will absolutely appreciate. There isn’t much excitement in terms of visuals or sound, but the most important factor is present, the gameplay.

    Sid Meier's Ace Patrol is a beautifully constructed game of strategy. Its turn-based mechanisms make it feel like a boardgame. You're constantly positioning your pieces, trying to outfox your opponent and steal in for a perfect kill. A brilliantly balanced, perfectly playable game of strategy and swooping turns that will have you enthralled, Sid Meier's Ace Patrol is a must-play.
