How long? Main story 7h (from 2 logged playthroughs)

Gameplay consists of completing successive missions and overall cockpit performance affects gameplay: going above and beyond the call of duty results in medals, promotions in rank are awarded at regular intervals, and success or failure on certain critical missions decides the player's plot progress, "winning" or "losing".

Review Guran 4/5 · Jun 16, 2015

Groundbreaking and immersive

A classic game that's still fun to play. One of my favourites back in the day so I might be biased. Missions can be a bit monotonus but it doesnt matter much when combat is this much fun! Use a joystick if you have one!
