Description: Become a pilot! Immerse in WW1 aerial combat like never before in a captivating VR experience. Be a pilot during the Great War in Warplanes: WW1 Fighters. No matter whether you prefer arcade games or flight simulators – a variety of options will let you adjust the game to your preferences.
Review: It has to be said ‘Warplanes: WW1 Fighters’ ticks a lot of the right boxes. It is a dog-fight simulator in which you can play against friends, play with friends or just play on your own. While there are only 14 planes at the moment more is promised in the coming months. Graphically the game does look average with most of the landscapes being quite sparse, but the planes are detailed enough, especially for a game that only costs £10.99. But the gameplay is where this game wins. You can make things easy for beginners to play or you can take control of most of the plane, but sadly HOTAS is not supported as of yet. As long as there are other players to play against this game should still be worth a download, I just hope that player userbase doesn’t dry up too quickly.
