How it feels

A no-frills aerial combat sim where you dodge enemy fire and dogfight friends or foes across dozens of warplanes, then relive the action in cinematic replays.

About

In Aces of War you take control of 40 different types of aircraft in an attempt to change the course of events. Avoid enemy fire, bomb enemy ships and attack enemy fighters, and then watch the replays of your heroic actions just as if you were part of a war blockbuster. And for some real dogfight action you can try shooting your pals out of the sky in the great VS mode, or you can let them be your wingmen in the cooperative mode.
