Scramble: Battle of Britain

Scramble: Battle of Britain is a simultaneous turn-based dogfighting game. Set in a 3D airspace, the game features fast-paced, tactical combat with dynamic flight physics.

Luftwaffe and RAF fighter squadrons go head to head over The English Channel. Competing players simultaneously issue control inputs for multiple aircraft while time is paused.

The planned orders are then played out simultaneously: shots are fired, loops are looped, colliding planes collide.

Each turn is divided into three phases: planning phase, action phase, and review phase.

Survey the aerial battlefield, plan your flight paths, execute spectacular manoeuvres, scrub through time to assess battle damage, and defeat your enemies through masterful tactics and captivating aerobatics.

PLAN YOUR FLIGHT PATH

The two squadrons simultaneously set input controls for each of their Aircraft, adjusting their flight path and attempting to bring them into attacking positions. Setting the flightpaths works like flying planes in a real-time combat game: you’re not choosing from set manoeuvres or levels of altitude, you’re adjusting pitch, roll, yaw and throttle to create your path.

The Planning Phase is time-limited: you need to think fast and act quickly.

EXECUTE YOUR ACTIONS

Time is unpaused and your planned actions are played out. All aircraft move and shoot according to the inputs from the Planning Phase.

REVIEW THE TURN AND PREPARE FOR THE NEXT ONE

Time is paused once again. You can move back and forth through the timeline, reviewing the events of the Action Phase to plan for the next turn.

Once both squadrons are ready, the turn is over and you jump to the next one.

MANAGE YOUR SQUADRON

Scramble: Battle of Britain allows you to manage your Royal Air Force and Luftwaffe squadrons and to fly with your favourite planes. All the key aircraft that took part in the Battle of Britain are represented.

Skyratz

A fun Starfox-like that’s got a great arcade Battle Royale feel. Awesome to play with friends, especially since matchmaking is a bit tough right now. The devs say they are going to make more modes and characters, so I’m excited to check in pretty frequently.

Star Age: Space Combat

A promising game; similar to star fox, but it’s all space pvp. It moves away from the “big battleship” kind of gameplay you’ve come to expect from space shooters these days. Still rough overall, but if you enjoyed star fox: assault’s space multiplayer, you’ll want to wish list this game for sure.

Balsa Model Flight Simulator

(Also put 230 hours into the public playtest prior to EA, quite confident this will become my most played game by quite a lot)

Haven’t even touched career yet, or done much with the scenario editor. I’ve just been completely captivated by making and flying planes. If you can think of something or find an existing design that seems feasible you can probably make it, and you can even come with new ideas that no one has thought about before and make them work.

This has replaced all other flight sims for me, MSFS may be beautiful and have great wind simulation etc, but I can’t fly and build my own designs which I’d much rather do. The community aspect of this is great too, seeing all the weird and wonderful designs that people come up with is always entertaining to me, and the mix of friendly dogfighting and chill flying around together is just great.

Balsa is one of those games that is up and coming with afterburners lit. Ignore the fact there are no afterburners (yet).

Multiplayer - Check

Weapons - Check

Creative Design Options - Check

Modding - Check

A Dev Team that LISTENS - Check

Keep in mind, this game is in Early Access. This means the game is developing, growing and has potential ONLY limited by feedback provided to the developers. The team even released a modding kit that allows for building mods already. I have been able to create several custom designed propellers, fuselages, and fuel\battery tanks and used them in game.

Blue Max: Aces of the Great War

Forget glory, friend. Think survival.

The “Pour le Merite” or Blue Max fighter pilots were something to be both admired and feared. An award given to the best German pilots of World War I, if you ended up in the sights of a Blue Max plane, you knew your flying days were over.

Originally released in 1991 by Artech Digital Entertainment, Blue Max: Aces of the Great War is a classic flight simulator that takes you right into the fray as a World War I flying ace. Choose from 8 different planes, such as Fokkers, Sopwiths, Spads to take down enemy planes or capture surveillance behind enemy lines. If real time flying simulators aren’t your thing, Blue Max can also change dogfights into strategic turn-based battles, taking your challenge out of the sky and onto a 3D tactical map.

Step into the cockpit in Blue Max: Aces of the Great War, and experience the strategy and thrills of the best fighter pilots of their time.

Take your dogfights to a 2D tactical map, executing turn based strategies against your opponents with an unique 3D simulation to visualize your best plan of attack
Fly high in 8 historic fighter planes such as Albatross DIII, Fokker DVII, and more!
Multiple 3D angles for more visibility when dodging and diving in the heat of a dogfight
Shoot down enemy planes or fly skillfully over enemy territory for surveillance as you engage in captivating gameplay featuring multiple mission options and several historical locations.

Detached

This title is amazing and really shows what VR is capable of: You feel like a space engineer alone in the vastness of space - trying not to die.

I recommend you play the game on simulation mode while in a seated position (helps immersion and feeling of weighlessness) and complete the brief tutorial. The first two modes are way too easy and don’t give you the feeling of immersion.

You have on your suit:

Directional thrusters (up, down, left, right)

Maneuvering thrusters on your suit (Roll, pitch, yaw)

I have played this game for a couple of hours now, which, in a game advertised as having a single player experience of about 2.5 hours isn’t bad, I guess. I’m not sure where the idea of 2.5 hours came from. I don’t think that I’m very near the end and I’ve played for more than that in total. You would have to be seriously good to get this game done in 2.5 hours. Admittedly I ended up saving the game with very little oxygen left and ended up having to start the first level from the beginning, but that’s a definite possibility for anyone.

Splash King’s Tournament

Fun and chaotic gameplay that gets more fun with the more people that are in the match. This is a game I could see work really well at a LAN party playing with your friends, having that friendly competition and banter.
