Red Wings: Aces of the Sky

Aces of the Sky immediately hits you with frenzied, stylized, WWI-era aerial combat, then does little to change the formula throughout its two stories. Whether you can deal with the repetitiveness depends upon how much of an arcade gamer you (and hopefully a nearby squad mate) really are.

Overall, a game I probably would have never played before has opened up my eyes to further explore games out of my comfort zone. The experiences I had were fun, addicting at times, and simple enough for me to play for a bit and come back anytime I wanted to. Thanks, Red Baron. Not just for your frozen pizza but for your inspirational life and influences for the developers to make this game!

Red Wings: Aces of the Sky is a surprisingly addictive game. It is a prime example of a very simple gameplay loop executed extremely well. It is a focused experience and I think that is for the best. While I did run into some mild colorblind accessibility issues, they didn’t slow down my enjoyment too much. Arguably where it stumbles most is in trying to force in diversity via the bombing missions.
