About

Legendary Pilots is a single player simulation game. It was developed by BerkBox and was released on April 21, 2026. It received mostly positive reviews from players.

Legendary Pilots is an indie flight simulator that doesn't aim to be the most "realistic" flying game ever, but rather offers a fun, stylised experience centred on the pilot's career. Developed by someone who truly loves aviation, it delivers a rich and immersive world where you manage many aspects of flight — from dealing with routes and passengers to buying and maintaining your own pla…

  • Cozy and relaxing flight simulation experience with nostalgic pixel art style and pleasant music.
  • Casual, easy to learn gameplay suitable for quick sessions or casual play, including controller and Steam Deck support.
  • Good variety of aircraft, decent takeoff and landing mechanics, and some light management elements provide a foundation with potential for further expansion.
  • Gameplay is extremely shallow and repetitive with minimal depth, lacking meaningful progression, varied missions, and engaging management features.
  • Multiple technical issues and bugs including keybinding wipes, autopilot problems, graphical glitches especially on AMD cards, UI and control mapping frustrations.
  • Flight mechanics are oversimplified to the point of boredom, autopilot often overrides player input, and career mode lacks meaningful advancement or economic simulation.
  • graphics

    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of Legendary Pilots are praised for their nostalgic, retro-inspired pixel art style that evokes early flight simulators and offers a charming, vibrant aesthetic. While visually appealing and enhancing the game's unique atmosphere, the presentation suffers from notable issues, especially severe graphical bugs on AMD graphics cards and some pixelation frustrations. Overall, the visuals are a strong point, but technical problems and limited graphics settings somewhat diminish the experience.

    • “The game's biggest strength is clearly its visuals; it's gorgeous and it tickles the part of my brain that remembers fondly being bad at flight sims back in the 2000s.”
    • “The art style is really nice, both the models and the textures.”
    • “The aesthetics are retro, but still feel very modern (and the color palette is extremely vibrant).”
    • “Terrible rendering bug on AMD graphics card.”
    • “Unfortunately, this game has a game-breaking graphical issue on AMD cards with severe flickering.”
    • “This game was okay, but I have consistently run into game-breaking/altering bugs, horrifying graphical issues, and weird plane models.”
  • gameplay

    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is minimalist and approachable but often feels repetitive and lacks depth, with many mechanics underdeveloped or half-implemented. While it offers a relaxing, casual flight experience, the limited variety and shallow interaction lead to a hollow and sometimes boring loop after short periods. The game shows promise as a foundational draft but needs more engaging mechanics, better integration, and polish to enhance player involvement.

    • “So yeah, more mechanics and this game could become something real; it shows plenty of promise as a rough draft.”
    • “The mechanics of aviation in-game are made so incredibly approachable that they cannot be considered a simulation at all.”
    • “Had a cool art style and good gameplay loop!”
    • “The gameplay is the same on the first flight as on any other flight.”
    • “The mechanics feel very barebone even by arcade standards.”
    • “The fire fighting is the most lazy mechanic I think I have ever seen in a plane simulator game; water shouldn't act like an accurate explosive that only hits one specific spot.”
  • story

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect lacks depth and variety, focusing primarily on a simple airline transport simulation with limited mission types and no real narrative or pilot progression beyond unlocking missions. Firefighting missions offer some refreshing difference, but overall, the game misses engaging storytelling or meaningful pilot development. Players desire more diverse aircraft, missions, and a richer progression system to enhance interest.

    • “There are more differences between passenger missions and cargo missions than you would expect.”
    • “The firefighter missions are on the right track; the game needs many more things like this.”
    • “Apparently they have two new areas planned, bringing the total up to five, and hopefully more mission types too.”
    • “I hoped for a little more variety; planes and mission types that would be focused more on hand-flying, but sadly the meat of this game is an airline transport game where you take off, turn autopilot on, and then just comply with whatever ATC tells you until it's time to land (and ATC orders can be pretty nonsensical; when's an ATC ever gonna ask you to fly exactly 3721 ft)?”
    • “There's no storyline and there's certainly no upgrades apart from bigger and better planes.”
    • “I'm not a crazy Microsoft flight sim fan or anything, but there really isn't anything much for your pilot other than just getting new missions.”
  • music

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally pleasant and contributes a unique atmosphere, though it is limited to only a few repetitive tracks. Players appreciate the option to adjust or mute the music, but the repetition leads some to prefer turning it off. Additionally, the soundtrack includes copyrighted music, which may pose issues for content creators.

    • “I love the pixel art, cheerful music, and simple design concept.”
    • “The soundtrack is something that I was not expecting, but it adds a very specific feel to the flights.”
    • “The music selection is very pleasant, though somewhat repetitive.”
    • “Music only has the same 3 songs replaying.”
    • “You can turn the music off, but it comes back every flight and the music selection is very pleasant but too repetitive for me to ever want to leave it on.”
    • “Warning to YouTubers: game is full of copyright music and they will copyright you for it.”
  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game runs smoothly and stably without the need for adjustments, experiencing only minor, non-critical bugs and glitches.

    • “Runs great on many devices - no tweaks needed.”
  • grinding

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding in the game is intended to be relaxing but quickly becomes tedious due to repetitive tasks, limited player interaction, and lack of meaningful choices or variety, making progression feel monotonous and unengaging.

    • “It's supposed to be relaxing, but quickly becomes tedious as you barely have anything to do besides entering numbers by clicking on an on-screen numpad.”
    • “Maybe this isn't meant to be a flight game, more like an airline tycoon, but the competition is lacking. You don't get to pick contracts or weigh costs and risks; instead, you're just grinding the same task repeatedly to buy a new plane and grind the same thing again, with no clear purpose.”
  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the current atmosphere but suggest that adding more simulation details like functional GPWS, seatbelt signs, and voiceover radio chatter would significantly enhance the immersive experience.

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users found the humor in unexpected gameplay glitches, such as amusing moments when the character unexpectedly falls through the ground, adding a lighthearted and surprising element to the experience.
