A Tale of WW2: Wings of Heroes

So I found this game at a house warming party and I thought it was cool because there is no such game I’ve played or heard of that is a 2D, WWII, phone-tilting, dogfighter game. This game in my opinion, is one of the best out there, it is simple and recognizable. the game has a cool art style, low storage space, easy but challenging levels and mechanics, and not to mention, the title screen. See, the thing about this game is that it has actual recruits that you play as and when you die, the game holds a sort of memorial for the ones who died fighting, which is what the title screen does. It shows them flying in heaven, which is so creative and it gives the game so much Life to it. This game is just so memorable and I hope so many people find this game.

This game is probably one of the best games I’ve ever played, I have to admit the older versions were more challenging since I would accidentally do something on landing that would get my pilots killed by the overall gameplay was alright and pretty good at certain points. If there’s ever a part 2 or something to this game, the ability to switch out your spitfire for a P-40 should be a feature instead of something that only really happened in one mission (If I recall correct it has been a while since I’ve played). We should also get load out customization if possible, instead of just taking missiles (or rockets whatever they are called in game) we should have some sort of other payload we can carry and use against enemies.

As a ww2 history fan I see that most of the story can be related to real life events, the part of training would take place during the first 6 months of the war, known as the sitzkreig, next would be the Battle of Britain, and finally the Italian Invasion takes place in the final mission, the devs use the spitfire and Bf-109 as the main aircraft, in a few mission you can find P-40s or MC-202s, but most of the information is accurately displayed throughout the game, but in a way that everything is balanced and the battle goes to the more skilled. I love this game and my recruits in it, the story makes you connect to them, and as I have found, use loopholes to keep them alive. One of my favourite games.
