    Be a pioneer of aerial warfare in Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces. Fight above the battlefields of World War I and become the ultimate Sky Ace!

    The game will take you into the times when aviation was in its dawning of existence the first Wright brothers machines went into the sky just 11 years before the Great War! Engineers were quickly adapting this brand new invention into military purposes while creating fascinating and sometimes oddly looking planes.

    In Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces you take control of over 30 historical airplanes including the Fokker Dr.I, famous for its pilot Manfred von Richthofen a.k.a. "Red Baron". Others stemming from light fighters like the Airco DH.2 to an enormous 4-engine bomber like the Sikorsky Ilya Muromets all planes can be customized and upgraded.

    Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces is a decent game with fun aerial combat. This game does fall short of being the World War 1 dogfighting experience one would expect with repetitive missions and the tacked-on base-building mode.

    There's certainly an audience for this game, and at a low asking price, there are certainly worse options for those seeking a quick airplane fix as opposed to the more realistic simulators (some of which might be coming to virtual reality soon). Unfortunately, Home Net Games has not taken advantage of the Switch port to fix AI issues and MTX-reliant gameplay, which hinders the game from becoming all it could be. The airplane action does what it sets out to do, but frustrating AI and a collection of other small problems means that Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces doesn't fly as high as it could on Switch - and that its free-to-play mobile version may be a better option overall.

    It’s perfectly serviceable – but ultimately there are shooters out there that are a far better fit for the Switch, and just much better games in general.
