SimplePlanes

Easily one of my top 5 games of all time.

There is so much I like about this game, and for the price, its a great deal.

Pros-

Building planes - It takes practice to build good planes, but they are not too hard

Flight Physics- Except for the occasional bug, the Physics work reletivaly well, and have enjoyable flying

Damage Model- Its pretty basic, but it gets the job done. It is fun to go blast your creation out of the sky with a missle

Mods- There are some incredible mods out there, from adding in custom missions, to making the game actually look cinimatic.

I will definately recommend this game. It may look like one of those smaller games that is fit for a phone, but it is not. It has so much to offer, that is, if you have creativity in your mind. It is one of the most fun games I’ve ever played. I bought it at a discount one day, thought to myself, “ehh, ill try it.” I’m so glad I did. In my opinion it has the best customization tools in any game. With a few simple mods, the customization in the editor is endless. You can create an exact copy of any real-life plane if you spend enough time, albeit it is time consuming when building. But in the end, it is worth it. The feeling is great when you spend three weeks perfecting a plane and it takes off for the first time. Also, the ability for us to share planes is AWESOME! I love checking out other people’s planes, it gives me ideas for what to build next. It is an ALMOST perfect game. why almost? there are just a few things that I would love to see:

Zeroed is a flying/racing game about speed, combat, and strategy. Definitely a unique gaming experience unlike anything I have ever played before! Takes a little getting used to, but once you do, you’ll be right at home. It’s a great solo experience, and with a team based multiplayer game mode in the works, I really see that as being the true meat of the experience in this game. The sky is the limit for this game, and I’m excited to see this game flourish!

Excellent. Been waiting for a remaster of this game for awhile. It’s perfect. Has Nuanced and noticeable improvements made everywhere that should be worthy for any real gamer and fan of original. I play at 6k (4320x2440 resolution w/ triple 27” asus rog QHD 2k 165htz O.C. monitors in rotated portrait mode) and it runs gloriously and feels butter vision smooth. I am crossing my fingers that it will play natively well like it does now for me at 6k when I finally upgrade my system to 10k resolution (7200 h x 2440 v). I’m getting up to my max 165 FPS play on a rtx2080 and average at 145 maybe more @ 6k. Well worth the purchase at current under $10.

SkyDrift was the game that made me join Steam 5 years ago.

I was used to pirate games, but then I found this little gem and wanted to play multiplayer so much, I ended up coming to Steam, and never left since then.

Back then, the original was so cool, and it had a good community, not many people played, but you could always find a room with at least 4 people.

With time, the servers got extremely unstable, to the point it was impossible to finish any race online. Singleplayer was still awesome.

REVIEW

Skydrift is a hidden-gem of an combat-racer game involving what feel like go-kart versions of airplanes. It reminds me of Diddy Kong Racing from back in the day, (which was like Mario Kart but with planes). The game is a lot of fun, especially in multiplayer. If you’re looking for some simple-pleasure arcade action, you probably want to check this out.

Overall Gameplay Thoughts

SkyDrift is a great looking, fast action, arcade racing game. It’s chaotic, intense and skillful. Single player offers plenty of content and planes to choose from. It offers beautiful vistas of places to fly through and the world feels very organic and alive. It reminds me of Mario Kart mixed with Diddy Kong Racing. The three different modes of play, Power, Speed and Survival, keep it interesting if you want to change it up. Power is where you have the ability to use powerups. Speed takes powerups out and survival is about making it the longest. There’s a good amount of powerups, all sorts of different planes to choose from and a decent amount of racing tracks to chew on. The various different types of planes vary from flighty and twitchy, to heavy and slow but still remain balanced enough for engaging races everytime. The AI gets lots of help with rubberbanding and teleporting but it’s still possible to beat it. It’s just really aggravating. The game is definitely best played against others though. There’s a good amount of variety for such a small budgeted game.

WHERE IS THE CHASING TO FOLLOWING THE CAR? IT MISSING ON THE GAME,..this game was wasting my money,..

Real player with 22.6 hrs in game

Really fun to fly in this sim, its like a bare bones version of Velocidrone, you can change your rates and play with physics. There are a few bugs. E.g. OSD settings reset every time you change maps and if you get stuck in colission like tree leaves theres no reset button so you have to exit the map then redo your osd settings and reenter the map. But other then that I love this sim!

City Air Battle

City Air Battle

City Air Battle is an arcade style flight shooting and racing game. In the game, you will fly a fighter over the real city. You can not only have a fierce air battle with the enemy aircraft, but also compete with the opponent in the air, experience the immersive 360 degree free flight and enjoy the fun of flying in the city skyline.

The operation and playing method of the game are very simple, and any player can get started quickly. You only need to use the direction key to control the flight direction of the aircraft, use the shift key to accelerate, and use the Z key to fire shells. Some levels only need to use the direction key or click the mouse to pass.

The game contains 6 cities, all of which are modeled and produced according to real large cities (Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago and New York). All buildings and streets are the same as those of real cities.

There are more than 60 kinds of aircraft in the game, all of which take the real classic aircraft as the model, including fighters, armed helicopters, large transport aircraft and bombers.

Players can control 8 different planes. By default, they can use 3 planes, and 5 planes are waiting for players to unlock after obtaining points in the game.

There are 24 levels in the game. Each city contains 4 levels and 4 game modes. You can choose any city or level to play the game.

Each level has a score ranking list, which allows players to compete with netizens all over the world and encourage players to constantly break the record of the highest score.

Game mode:

Racing mode

Flying through the whole city along the specified path, you need to surpass or destroy all your opponents to win the championship. The shorter the time, the higher the score.

Path shooting mode

The aircraft flies automatically along the path. You just click the mouse to shoot down the enemy aircraft. The higher the hit rate, the higher the score.

Collision mode

Operate the aircraft to hit the enemy aircraft at high speed and avoid buildings. The shorter the time, the higher the score. You can experience the pleasure of flying at high speed between skyscrapers and hitting the enemy aircraft.

Flight shooting mode

Manually control the direction of aircraft flight and the angle of weapon launch, use missiles, machine guns, rockets and other weapons to destroy enemy aircraft shuttling between cities, and double the scores of destroying enemy high-value targets (large transport aircraft, bombers, early warning aircraft, etc.). Players need to fly the aircraft to move flexibly in high-rise buildings, avoid the attack of enemy aircraft guns, and use smart steering to avoid missiles.

Had to try this out at the low price. Problem with no detection controller until I managed the option with Force On in the Steam menu. Runs smooth unlike the promo video. Need to get up to speed with the AI.
