    To those who give this a poor review, I have a hint: set the difficulty to "Ace" and set the controls to "Simulation". 90% of the time when watching videos of this game, I see people playing on lower difficulties in Arcade mode. When you do that, the plane turns in a perfect 90 degree turn, and your machine guns lock on to the enemy. No wonder this game got a bad impression.

When you do that, the plane turns in a perfect 90 degree turn, and your machine guns lock on to the enemy. No wonder this game got a bad impression.

    But if you set it to "Ace" and "Simulation", then this game will truly shine. It's on the same level as Ace Combat, Blazing Angels, Wings of Prey and War Thunder, so if you like those games, you will like this. Of course, Simulation does not mean something like DCS or IL-2, it means you just have to pitch and roll to manuever. Yes, you have unlimited ammo and fuel, no matter what.

    And the story is surprisely decent and somewhat original. You play as Dorothy "Dee Dee" Dubrec, a mercenary pilot. Initially she doesn't care about the war but slowly she finds meaning in fighting as opposed to fighting for just money. (Hey, it's called "Secret Wars" for a reason!). She will also learn about her father in the previous war, so you will also have WWI flashback missions too. It's a shame that the voice acting is poor and there are a number of plot-holes, otherwise it would have a great story, on par with the Ace Combat games.

    It's $5 now (and it was a budget game in the first place), so if you like flying games, BUY THIS GAME. If you wait for a sale, then that's just theft :D    … Expand

    Its only distinguishing feature is the story which is unusual for this genre, but also naive and full of ridiculous missions. [September 2012, p.74]

    Air Conflicts: Secret Wars has mediocre graphics and sound effects, a shallow story and an empty multiplayer, but realistic aircraft models.

    Stuck halfway between the arcade slots and po-faced flight simulation, and in the process takes itself far too seriously. [Oct 2011, p.105]
