Air Guardians

Alright, We can be brief about this game. Air Guardians delivers as much as it costs. Meaning: The graphics are of a poor quality. The controls are fast, if using a gamepad or joystick. The sound effects are of poor quality Air combat is dumb. (You don't need any skills. just fire away) The thing is: Do you feel ripped off by Air Guardians? Well, to be honest, not really for such a price upon release. It's not easy creating an air combat game from scratch, so you should take that in regard also and so far it's okay for the price. Maybe, with more work on the weapons systems (Limited number of bullets/rockets/bombs and target lock) it might be even better. But, on the other hand, it's not a simulator or AAA game. So, there's that. I think it's okay. Just for the fun of it and for the courage of the developer(s) to get something like Air Guardians done for a cheap price.

Finnicky AI and less than shiny/perdy surroundings make this game seem subpar in comparison to many other games. The Dev/Devs seem competent enough, the options menu has improved, but isn't quite finished. I'm certainly glad the Dev seems community opinion/perspective minded though. Can't get enough of patient/understanding devs. Dev says price might be a little high for its content, perhaps the price'll get shaved? I think the price to content ratio is kinda good. 2/10. Game certainly isn't pro, but game isn't expensive.

[h1] A positive experience all things considered... [/h1] (Scroll down if the bottom line will suffice ^-^ ) To truly appreciate this game in a fair manner one has to compare it to something in it's own price range. This game costs 2,99€ on steam at the time I write this review. 2,99€ is roughly the same money I'd have to pay for a kebab or a bowl of noodles at our local chinese diner. Both worthwhile products in my opinion. With that in mind, the game has a higher actual value than a meal in my opinion since A: you enjoy it at least a little longer and B: you can even replay/re-enjoy it (which would be fairly disgusting with the food I imagine...). [b]All that said, I'll start with what annoyed me[/b] (because I think that's what I'd usually do): [b] Horrible support for different controls [/b] - The game DOES offer some limited control customization, like, binding roll, yaw and pitch to different joystick axis and allowing to invert them as needed, along with a few select b...

very good game, even though it only has 6 levels. the models are supprisingly well done, the terrain is decent for a flight sim, the animation is good, and the mechanics are fluid overall. needs more missions, but definitly worth the 5 dollars

Air Guardians captures the 360 degree thrill of air/space battles as you alternate between predator and prey in a ballet of missiles, bullets and space craft. You must control your speed, angle and roll as you persue the enemy for an attack, then quickly alternate strategy to hectically dance your craft out of a missile lock before you take damage. The ballet ends in either the completion of your mission or, if you take too much damage, your transformation into space dust. The graphics are good enough to get the job done, but your enemies and allies are reused for all 6 missions so don’t expect too much graphical variety. The sound of the bullets and missiles whizzing by your craft, or impacting into your craft, add to the atmospheric frenzy of battle. Technically the control of your craft and weaponry all work very well and I always felt in control of the action. There is only the hint of a story, but the combat is good fun for the hour or so the game lasts and a fair trade fo...

Fun airplanes to fly and learn on.

I've left my original review below for archive purposes, but I'm changing it to a positive. Every single one of the points I mentioned below has been addressed by the developer, which, to be honest, would be enough on it's own to yield a positive review because that puts him on a level of responsiveness above any "AAA" dev I can think of. It's now possible to remap controls and joystick axes, and you're left with a relatively entertaining arcade style flight shooter. It's pretty fun and there are no longer any game-breaking bugs or feature deficiencies that I can find. For the price especially, it's definitely worth a look. I was expecting this to be a flight combat game I could play with a joystick, but no such luck. EDIT: You can now play with a joystick, but there is no way to assign axes, so my twist is throttle and my throttle is yaw, making it horrible to try to play. It's a relatively simplistic/arcadey shooter, controled with mouselook and WASD. Except that the turn and...

Check second review after developers interest in fixing his game and the controllers. This games needs a lot of work in the area of CONTROLLERS! My Trackball (Logitech 570) nor my mouse (Logitech M215) work well or at all. My JOYSTICK (Logitech Force 3D Pro) brings no joy at all. Could have been a nice arcade flight game. If they fix the control issue it still would be fun to play but right now (April 13 2015) it is not worth any thing to buy or play. Hope it gets fixed soon! Nice graphics and sound for a game. Concept of the game is good. Developers , Please work on fixing the game do not let it die. After posting this the developer contacted me and helped me get some controll of the controllers. His interest and assistance make me change my recommendation to YES. He stated that he is working on improving the game controlls and the game. When he finishes this will be a great game. It is well worth the cost. I really like joystick control so I hope it improves.
