There are some modifiers and difficulty levels that encourage replayability in that mode, but without the gripping story to pull it along, you may find yourself becoming less invested in the gameplay. Generally though, Conquest is not as engaging as the main campaign. There’s no debate that this is pretty cool as it feels like you’re building out your own private army.

Again in this mode you can unlock different aircrafts from the main campaign, however as you complete missions you can also hire AI support to help you in the battles. The second game mode – Conquest – essentially takes all the lessons learned from the main game and puts it into a series of endless skirmishes as you’d expect, these get progressively harder the farther you progress.

It’s still satisfying to slowly build your collection of aircrafts and weaponry, yet I only wish there were some more exotic airplanes and weapons to use. There are also new weapons to enjoy, even though most of the armaments in this game are pretty run of the mill plain affairs. It’s able to offer up some really great fun.Īs you progress through the story you can unlock new planes that are suited to various different situations. However it is incredibly tight and feels great, so much so that you can’t help but find a smile on your face as you go about skimming across water, slinging missiles at assault boats or making a last second barrel roll to dodge an enemy aircraft. You can pitch and yaw, but generally flying simply focuses on pointing in a direction and kicking on the afterburners. The gameplay is generally pretty simple this is not a simulation. However it often changes things up with various amounts of unique enemies. Many missions will have you face off against ground combatants like AA guns mixed in with enemy fighter pilots. Wingman does a great job of mixing up the objectives and types of enemies you face. What also got me excited were the gameplay scenarios that are presented to you. Every mission starts with a briefing where the objective and some exposition is given and it is here where the writing and voice acting is excellent, bringing the excitement required to get to every mission. You play a pilot in a for-hire mercenary group and this story is shockingly engaging. It’s set in a future that is consumed by war after a cataclysmic event.
