Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces

Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces is a decent game with fun aerial combat. This game does fall short of being the World War 1 dogfighting experience one would expect with repetitive missions and the tacked-on base-building mode.

    The game consistently receives high praise for its impressive and detailed graphics, which greatly enhance the immersive World War I aviation experience. Visuals are described as realistic, stunning, and cinematic, contributing significantly to player enjoyment. However, a few users wish for even more realism, such as cockpit views and more dynamic environments.

    • “The graphics are stunning compared to other mobile games and really surprised me.”
    • “The visuals are very realistic and the gunfire and explosions make you feel as if you were inside the game.”
    • “Awesome game: pros - awesome graphics, explosions, flames, and smoke are impressive; detailed aircraft with color customization.”
    • “Terrible graphics and controls... those planes were very maneuverable, very quickly... low speed and low weight...”
    • “Hi, I don't like this app because its graphics are low; I am just giving 5 stars because you worked hard for it, good job by the way.”
    • “Waste of time, I hate this game, no graphics, totally third class game.”
  • story

    81 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    21% positive mentions, 74% neutral mentions, 5% negative mentions

    The game's story aspect is generally seen as lacking depth and variety, with many users criticizing the repetitive and monotonous missions that lack an overarching campaign or narrative. Players express a desire for a structured story mode, more diverse and historically rich missions, and improvements in mission design including better AI and customization options. While some appreciate the concept and setting, the absence of a compelling storyline and mission variety leads to reduced long-term engagement.

    • “Great story, great graphics, great sound, great ad balance.”
    • “Amazing WW2 dogfight themed game with awesome visual effects, graphics, and breathtaking gameplay with an interesting storyline.”
    • “It's an amazing game especially compared to other plane games; it really adds the feel of WW1 and the gameplay is just fantastic. I wish it could have a campaign or story mode for France, Britain, Russia.”
    • “The missions are very repetitive, which was disappointing.”
    • “There is no storyline, only a short tutorial then you go into missions.”
    • “The story is identical to the one in the WW2 game, which realistically doesn't make sense and is also quite boring if you know anything about it from WW2 Dogfight.”
  • gameplay

    The gameplay is generally praised for being enjoyable, visually appealing, and well-balanced without pay-to-win elements, with simple controls and an engaging WW1 and WW2 dogfight experience. However, some users find the controls clunky or difficult, desire more simulation features like cockpit views and mission variety, and note occasional issues in level editing or monotony. Overall, the gameplay is considered solid and fun, though it could benefit from further refinements and added depth.

    • “The great thing about this game is it's not pay to win and you can get planes and upgrades through gameplay and watching ads.”
    • “Amazing WW2 dogfight themed game with awesome visual effects, graphics, and breathtaking gameplay with an interesting storyline.”
    • “Overall, the gameplay is excellent with good graphics and control.”
    • “Worth having if you like the WW2 version but overall it falls a little behind in gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is fine, but it must be more suited for the feel of these planes and has no improvements or differences from WW2 dogfight.”
    • “Awesome concept but gameplay is terrible; impossible to steer planes, don't have enough health to do missions, impossible.”
  • monetization

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    10% positive mentions, 5% neutral mentions, 85% negative mentions

    Monetization in the game is a mix of positive and negative feedback: players appreciate that it’s not pay-to-win and that planes and upgrades can be earned through gameplay or watching ads. However, many criticize the frequent and forced ads, which disrupt enjoyment and lead to frustration, with some feeling that premium in-app purchases are overpriced or ineffective. Overall, while in-app purchases and ads support the game, excessive advertising detracts significantly from the experience.

    • “Also, they have a version for Windows which is the same exact game where you can log in to the cloud and be able to keep up with your progress on all devices, which makes the in-app purchases well worth every penny.”
    • “Very good graphics for a mobile game and there's little to no ads.”
    • “Soon, I guess, it'll have ads after every mission, like its WWII counterpart game, which also was five stars until ads started showing up after every mission.”
    • “Game is fun, but I spent money to remove ads & buy a bunch of stuff – restart game & it's all gone.”
    • “Horrible forced ads that finally ticked me off to the point of deletion of the app.”
  • stability

    The game offers an enjoyable experience with minimal ads and few bugs, but stability issues like glitches, freezing on the aircraft selection screen, and unexpected crashes persist, especially after recent updates. Additionally, a lack of customer support compounds players' frustration.

    • “However, still glitchy after the last update: aircraft selection screen freezes up from time to time.”
    • “Game glitches out and kicks you off.”
