This all brings us to the one element of Warplanes that you typically don’t see in aerial fighting games, and that is maintenance and simulation.

As you play you’ll also be able to unlock not only upgrades for these planes, but simply better planes overall. Warplanes slowly introduces you to the different types of fighters so you can get used to things like aiming your guns at other planes, or timing dropping bombs on targets on the ground.

Which planes you’ll need to use will change with the mission. Eventually in each campaign, you’ll reach a point where you’ll actually get to choose which type of mission you’ll want to participate in. The objectives are pretty straightforward, and range from anything like simply eliminating all enemy fighters in the sky, destroying fuel supplys or convoy’s on the ground, or running defense on your own buildings. These missions supply you with a plane or two to fly, and your objectives that need to be carried out. At first, the game holds your hand, telling you that there’s “no time” to be shown around the hangar just yet since there’s urgent missions. Whichever flag you choose to fly under, your experience will only vary in minor and mostly unnoticeable ways, save for who your enemies are and where your missions take place. Although, if we’re being completely honest, the word campaign is used very loosely since there really isn’t one no matter which region you choose, and if there had been it would have excelled this game to the top. Players get to choose one of three campaigns to fly in, between British, German and USSR fleets. This game allows you to fly back in time to World War II era and jump into the cockpit of over two dozen time-accurate fighter planes. However, there was one that was lacking in options, and I was hoping that Warplanes : WW2 Dogfight on the Nintendo Switch would be the first to fill that void.

I personally own every console from the current generation, all the way back to the NES, and each one of those consoles offers plenty of options in this genre. In recent years, aerial combat games have become a new genre that I’ve fallen in love with. Nintendo Switch Developed By : Home Net Games
