  --REVIEW UPDATED AS OF 07/07/15-- (click the "recommended" to see the screenshot thumbnails) Do you like arcade flight simulators? Think back to the great games in the genre: Ace Combat, Crimson Skies, Fury 3, Lylat Wars, YAGER; what would you like in a game like that? Do you want pretty? Pretty you'll have. While explosions don't have the best effects by far and environment textures could use some work, AX:EL is one of the prettiest flight games out there in light, colors and environment. The camera and the moving planes give also a great sense of action alongside with non-annoying but very nice touches like lens flares, glows, refraction and lots of tiny details like some destructible structures, flora and waves. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=478227199 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=461741816 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=364959399 Do you want campaign? The "Mercenary missions" mode currently offers 10 missions that need to be unlocked progressively, with objectives varying from destroying squadrons, running search and rescue operations, transporting sensitive cargo through storms, and fighting huge boss-like enemies. While the number might seem a bit small, they are highly replayable, fairly long, include their selection of music (also composed by the author, really nice music, too.) and feature no lives, meaning you'll have to do them on one try, which adds to the difficulty but doesn't make them especially frustrating. Do you just want to shoot stuff down? The Arena mode features deathmatch and team deathmatch, both with customizable bots. It also has multiplayer support, but only ip-to-ip or LAN modes. AI can get pretty intense on the higher levels. Do you want customization? Every kill in either game mode, Arena or Mercenary, or Mercenary Mission completion, will earn you MsM. You can use that MsM to purchase a variety of body, weapon, wing or tail modules, with specific bonuses to each one. Do you want spectacle? Not only AX:EL's visuals will keep you engaged, the planes control really nicely, and the combat soon gets close and personal, with planes struggling to shake missiles while avoiding explosions and pulling insane-G maneuvers. It would be safe to say it's a game one will want to come to time and time again. Did I mention the planes can go underwater at any time? And that once there they switch to an underwater configuration? And that there's underwater missions, as well? And that there's sonic booms, working in-cockpit first person view and different atmospheric densities? Now, while still weak at the finer points of the game and control (I feel like the weapon system should be more fleshed out and general presentation is still a bit lacking), if what you want is to fly planes and shoot stuff up, I couldn't recommend a better game to do so with. Easily over War Thunder if you don't mind the limited multiplayer, and easily over Ace Combat Assault Horizon, period. 8/10. Not perfect, really *really* friggin' good. For a studio made game. For a one-man project such as this one, it's outstanding. GAMEPLAY VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbXAmqgsazA&feature=youtu.be

  Update: The Developer responded promptly and resolved the issue with the framerate. The game is promising, and plays somewhat like War Thunder with smoother mouse controls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFlApz3hXds Old review: Well I tried and failed to play the first mission multiple times. Some horrific optimisation issues broke the framerate and it sat like a fat dog stubbornly at 1FPS. I want to love it, but it seems I can't even play it yet. My system specs can run Crysis 14 at 12k. I suggest not buying Early Access games if you want them to work instantly. I even made a video about it because I'm that salty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH-5-Ji-Gx8

  I'm giving this a Postive review because its awesome in a way of the Idea of the game its Different I like the fighting style in it. The only issure I have is I have a hard time seeing in it even with the settings maxed this may because of my system but no reason for a negative review for something that could be my system in general. Keep Up the great Work!

  Incredible work for a game done by one person Oo The flight feeling is really well done, it doesn't feel like a regular plane but more like a real spaceship who can go underwater. Because yes, I totally know how a real spaceship who can go underwater drives. The customisation is great and the graphics are beautiful. They may be less beautiful under the sea, even if a certain singing crab called Sebastian could disagree on that point. The solo mode at the moment is really satisfying, I still didn't tried the online multiplayer but I already have a lot of fun. If you want to craft your own personnal amphibious Starfighter and pilot it in an awesome world, take this game.

  Like pretty mutch the rest of the reviews. the concept is a really good idea and should be worked on! But for now my main complaint is the run speed! i have a decent computer and im forced to use the lowest graphics and i still only get around 18 FPS! But like i said, this game has a really cool thing going!

  this game is complete garbage and i dont reccomend it at all. all the controlls did was turn and go in a downward left and crash, your dead. even remapping it all, still only downward left crash your dead. 0 out of 10
