Sky Gamblers: Storm Raiders

Easy and so enjoyable play! I strongly recommend this game to everyone.

Simple arcadish flying game placed in WWII. The single-player campaign is kind of fun, but multiplayer isn't well populated. Buy on sale for under 5 bucks.

Overall, I enjoyed a lot of things about game, but there was also a fair number of things I disliked so let me be more specific about all the good and the bad in this game. First off, this game is a unrealistic arcade flight game, not a realistic flight simulator. Personally, this didn't bother me as I was looking for a more arcadic game but people who don't like this type of game should pass on this one. As a port of a mobile game the graphics are... meh. The Aircraft models themselves look alright but the environments look ugly but I'm not much of a graphics day myself so that didn't matter much to me. The game also has some small hitbox issues too. When I was playing the entire wing of my aircraft would clip into the ground before actually crashing. The audio is probably the weakest aspect in my opinion. outside of the main menu the only place music plays is in the campaign, this means that mostly the only thing you hear outside of the Campaign is machine gun sounds and propeller noises and both of which sound very low quality. And the music in the campaign isn't that good either and it all has a sloppy seam between the loop in the tracks. The gameplay is simple arcadic fun with a few extra interesting features to keep it from being too terribly boring but nothing too complicated such as linking you're primary and secondary weapons, blowing out you're engines from boosting for too long, having a system failure in your plane from taking too much damage, and having your pilot pass out from too much G-force. The map selection is pretty underwhelming. There's only five maps and they all feel too similar. The planes all feel a little too the same outside of slightly different Armor, maneuverability and weapons. The controls are a little sloppy and really show it's mobile game roots. You'll need to click on the screen at times similar to how you'd tap on a phone screen. The amount of content is the best part in my opinion. As a fan of World War II plane it has almost every plane that I personally care about with the Flying Fortress and the Mitchell being being the only plane that I like that are absent. In fact, heavy bomber like those are absent all together so be prepared for that if you like those sort of aircraft. What surprised me was the presence of a progression system. You play games, to level up by earning XP from playing games which will unlock new planes, all of which have three different variants of and can have their paint jobs recolored. And the best part about the progression is that you earn EX even when you play Single-player which you may be forced to do given it's small playerbase. You can play multiplayer games with bots so you can experience something similar to multiplayer even with they are pretty dumb. There are five multiplayer modes Free-for-All, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Last Man Standing are all pretty self explanatory and the final mode, Base Attack where you have to destroy enemy bases to score while defending your own. In the campaign, you fly in both the Battle of Britain and across the pacific front. It isn't the best campaign but it does provide some simple fly around and shoot them up fun if you're looking for that. And finally there's Survival mode and Dogfight mode which both involve you fighting alone against NPC enemies. All in all, I recommend this to anyone who is looking for simple, shoot 'em up arcadic fun like I was. it's not for anyone looking for a more complicated flight simulator. I'd probably give it a 7/10.

Great game, been playing for many years now. I wish more people played so i could find a full online game

very fun plane game!

low quality game. partial flight stick controls. not worth it.
