Project Wingman ist ein Flugkampf-Actionspiel mit einem ausgefeilten und raffinierten Gameplay, realistischen Inspirationen und einem fesselnden Erlebnis für Einzelspieler. Perfekt für alle, die nicht nur ein einfaches Simulator-Erlebnis suchen, sondern Lust auf schnelle, herausfordernde Flugaction haben.

Luftkämpfe, Luftangriffe und Flüge durch Gefechtszonen, die auf einer alternativen Geschichte der Erde basieren. Fliege über die kalten Gewässer der Beringstraße; greife in der brutalen Umgebung der Yellowstone-Magmafelder Panzer an; oder mache im pazifischen Nordwesten Sturzflüge zwischen Mammutbäumen, um Ziele zu attackieren. Über die Ozeane und vernarbten Länder dieser Welt wird dich der Krieg auf exotische Schlachtfelder führen und dich mit Missionen betrauen, die weit über deiner Gehaltsklasse liegen.

Pure Flugkampf-Action
Einzigartige Waffen wie Railguns und geothermisch betriebene Bordwaffen warten nur darauf, dich vom Himmel zu holen, wenn du dir eine Blöße gibst. Ob du als Pilot Angriffe fliegst, den Boden mit Repetiergeschütz und Raketenwerfern am Flügel abgrast, oder einen Abfangjäger mit weitreichenden, treffsicheren Raketen steuerst — es liegt an dir, dich als Piloten-Ass zu beweisen.

Eroberungsmodus
Kämpfe im Eroberungsmodus gegen widrige Umstände, verschiedene Bosse und Ass-Staffeln, um Territorien zu erobern. Das Spiel enthält Elemente aus Rogue-likes und RPGs; Spieler müssen genug Geld verdienen, um neue Flugzeuge zu kaufen und eine eigene Söldnerarmee aufzubauen. Dabei gilt es, gegen Wellen von zunehmend schwierigen Gegnern zu bestehen und zahllose wechselnde Missionen zu bewältigen.

Virtual Reality
Virtual-Reality-Headsets versetzen den Spieler ins Cockpit, und die Luftgefechte werden dir den Kopf verdrehen. Das alles ist voll kompatibel mit HOTAS-Peripheriegeräten und benutzerdefinierten Achsenkurven. Du kannst das Spiel erleben, wie du es willst, denn du kannst jedes Peripheriegerät mit DirectInput-Unterstützung verwenden.

Bedeutende Features:

Fliege in verschiedenen aufregenden Szenarien und Umgebungen, wie du sie noch nie gesehen hast
Packende Einzelspieler-Kampagnen
Über 20 verschiedene Flugzeuge und über 40 einzigartige Waffen stehen dir zur Verfügung
Kämpfe gegen verschiedene Gegner wie riesige mechanische Festungen und Railguns
Beweise dein Können im Eroberungsmodus und kämpfe gegen Scharen von Gegnern
Willst du dein Eroberungserlebnis ändern? Dann passe die Modifikatoren nach Belieben an.
Wunderschöne volumetrische 3D-Wolken, gerendert mit TrueSKY
Komplett zuweisbare Steuerung und HOTAS-Kompatibilität mit DirectInput-Unterstützung
VR-Unterstützung

Ein wirklich kompetenter ACE Combat Klon, welcher das großartige AC7 sogar in dem einen oder anderen Punkt aussticht.

Allerdings merkt man auch, dass nur ein kleines Team für dieses tolle Spiel verantwortlich zeichnet und das Budget nicht sehr hoch war. So ist z.B. das Fahrwerk bei Start und Landung nicht animiert. Auch ist die Kampagne zwar mit einer relativ netten Hintergrundgeschichte ausgestattet, diese wird aber ausschließlich über Textsequenzen und Flugfunk vermittelt. Dazu gesellen sich viele kleine, aber vernachlässigbare Übersetzungsfehler für die dt. Fassung.

Dafür ist der Umfang besagter Kampagne wirklich überzeugend und wird sogar nochmals durch einen Conquest Modus ausgebaut, bei dem man sich Zielgebiete für die Einsätze selbst aussuchen und sich seine eigene Söldnerarmee aufbauen kann. Alles in allem ein wirklich gutes Game, welches AC Fans wirklich viel Spaß machen wird und der beste Klon seit den H.A.W.X. Spielen von Ubisoft. Ach ja und es gibt fliegende Festungen.^^

Fazit: 8.3/10

Project Wingman is a Game which i heard of during its development Time.
being an Ace Combat Fan meant i had to see what this Game was like.

Where to Start?
The Price.

25€ were something i didnt expected and yet it was a welcome surprise for sure.
Little did i know that this Game is far mor worth.

The Game.
Fantastic. if you loved playing Ace Combat on Ps2, PS3 or Xbox 360 you will Love Project Wingman.
This game Surprises you with its Staggering Graphics, Its Unique Gameplay and a Very Good Campaign.

The Aircrafts are Nice to play, The Weapons are Fantastic to use and the Gameplay is Smooth. The game feels Good to play and is really fun.

The UI is Nice and all Menus and Settings are easy to access amnd navigate Through. The Graphics again, Are Amazing and the Atmosphere of the Game is very Immersive. The Unique Setting of the Games World and the Missions are very well designed.

The Campaign is Good and Hooking.

Overall Project Wingman is a game i can highly recommend for Military Aviation Enthusiasts and people who are enjoying The Ace Combat games.

Basically a better version of Ace combat, without the spine bending cringey characters that Ace combat has. They basically just cut out most of the shit I never liked in Ace combat and made the gameplay better. I played the Demo 1 or 2 years ago and man... it really has evolved into a real competition for ace combat, and that competition was needed.

But the best part is that you can instantly notice that this game is made by people that ACTUALLY play their own game and not by some corporate, greedy A S S holes. A game made by fans. I love it.

Tja, hier meine vorläufige Meinung zu dem VR Modus im Spiel:

- die Wolken rendern nicht korrekt in 3D
- die Performance ist bescheiden (ich Spiele deswegen gerade mit der Index auf 120hz, um auf glatte 60hz zu kommen)
- die UI funtioniert nicht mit HOTAS
- der Himmel flackert ab und zu

...aaaaber...Project Wingman macht einfach jetzt schon sooo einen Spaß, das ich hier unmöglich eine negative Bewertung abgeben könnte :-)
Ich hoffe die genannten Probleme werden bald gefixt.

Tolles Spiel, danke an die Entwickler!

A Vtuber failed to play it, what makes you capable of it?

5 stars, you can nuke yourself and edit the files to give yourself infinite nukes.
Your railgun has more range than the BVR missiles.
9/10 deaths come from slamming into a cargo plane.

Edit: you can fight the final boss two times at once and using glitches you can fight 4 of him at once. I pray this is never patched.

Ace Combat in all but name, story and licensing.
Has the added bonus of PCVR and HOTAS support, with AC7's VR being exclusive to Playstation. Project Wingman is also still receiving patches and content updates, while AC7 is finished by this point. In terms of graphics, the plane models and cockpit textures are slightly better in AC7, but the particle and lighting effects are a metric tonne better in PW, so PW ends up being more of a spectacle to play.

If you enjoy Ace Combat games, get this. It may not have multiplayer but the lack of a mission timer rushing you and the added conquest mode means it lasts longer and is infinitely more replayable than AC7 in singleplayer. In general the campaign took me around the same time to complete as AC7, but that's because I found myself having to restart missions or checkpoints in AC7 where that wasn't often the case in PW. The story itself is much more interesting than AC7 and the writing much better in my opinion.

As far as VR goes, it is one of the more demanding VR titles but this is one of the better VR games you can get. The entirety of the game is playable in VR too, so you don't get a watered-down experience like in the PSVR version of AC7. You need to be willing to make compromises on resolution or graphics details though, as it's not particularly well optimized = even on a 3080 I can get 70fps max with some frequent frame drops and stuttering unless I drop the resolution and things like clouds and particle effects down a fair whack.

EDIT: Fhoglers OpenVR_FSR mod can also be used get a boost to VR performance if you don't mind doing a quick .dll swap in the games install directory.

Pretty fun gameplay, nice music, story's alright and gets carried by banter between the characters, missions have enough variety to them to keep them fresh and were pretty enjoyable. Buying planes is a bit too grindy though, and Conquest mode is a fun idea to play around, especially with the modifiers, but once a certain alert level is reached the entire screen becomes too cluttered with enemies.

What’s with these airplane games running solely on war crimes and human rights violations?

I gotta say though that this Ace Combat Zero remake is looking amazing. They even brought back the crazy funny nuke man.

Project Wingman is basically a giant schizo fueled love letter to Ace Combat. They play and look incredibly similar in many ways. Only way they differ is that Wingman has actual effective guns. It’s basically the Holy Trilogy put into one and maximized in every aspect. The enemies even nuke themselves. It’s fantastic.

The game is so good there’s even competitive genocide. The fact that this game gives you access to hundreds of missiles and bombs allowing you to commit mass murder by shooting from the sky above is kind of crazy. At what point is it no longer a game and just simulated horror?

Crimson 1 and the Federation did NOTHING WRONG!

For a game made by just THREE people, this really is some top tier stuff. Found this out way after I finished the game and it really gave me a new appreciation for it.

It isn't quite as finely tuned as AC7, but boy is it still a good time. If you like the AC series this is worth a play for sure.

A fun Ace Combat-Lite to fill the void of AC 4, 5, 0 being left is PS2 purgatory.

The story is there, but the lack of cutscenes or context makes it very hard to follow.

With a variety of missions to choose from at each stage and in-depth customization options, Project Wingman also tests the player’s intelligence in creating synergistic builds and risk-reward assessments. Aside from a multiplayer mode, which this game sadly lacks, this is one of the best infinitely replayable jet-fighter game modes I’ve ever seen.

Project Wingman feels like playing an Ace Combat game, but where Ace Combat flirts a little with it's crazier aspects, Project Wingman embraces them. And it is all the better for it.
It takes a lot for a game with a campaign to get me to actually finish it because I usually end up distracted by another game before I do so. But with PW I haven't just cleared it once, but multiple times already. Sometimes I just play a few missions for no other reason than that the game is just that much fun and I have nothing else quite like it.
The soundtrack by Jose Pavli is also just amazing, it almost carries some of the game by always framing everything in the right way. It's hard to really explain to be honest. It's something you have to experience for yourself.

When it comes to controls I personally recommend using a HOTAS. It's not a flight sim by any stretch of the imagination so a keyboard and mouse or controlling work just fine and are great fun aswell. But it's exactly because it's not a full on flight sim that using a hotas in the cockpit view is amazing. You really feel like you're somekind of action movie pilot with moments that feel like they come straight of a macross anime happening naturally where you're desperately trying to outmaneuver tens of missiles all coming for you at once and then making a violent 180 turn and releasing your own swarm of missiles in response.

So in short, this game is just stupid fun and I highly recommend it. If you can, use a HOTAS, but other control inputs are fine. And put that game music on full blast.

Fifty times better than Ace Combat 7, though it doesn't fix all of AC7's problems. For instance, the voice acting and storyline are still breathtakingly terrible, and the radio chatter never stops or reaches a maturity level above the age of 8.

But there's no time limit, there are more weapons to select from, the missions are better, the controls are better, the experience is more authentic, and it's no worse to look at.

The first time I played through the campaign I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was better than Ace Combat 7's. If you're and AC fan and are interested, buy it 100%.

PW is honestly one of the most chaotic games i have ever played.
if ace combat is metal gear for planes then PW is metal gear rising for planes.

the game is honestly worth purchasing , it's made technically by one man and i cannot say deny how impressive the game.
visually the game is so freaking beautiful but you will face low frame rates sometimes due to the numbers of enemies and allies on the battle.
and the soundtrack is so damn goooood.( damn jose you have done great job with the ost)

the final battle took from me half hour to defeat and small advice play the game in well lit room or otherwise you might end up damaging your retina.

so if you love any of the fallowing :
-ace combat
-2d games that is all about dodge bullets
-planes
-good VR game
-chaotic games

then you cannot go wrong with PW.

Plus i heard the game is good in VR but i never tried it.

Aside from some goofy dialogue this feels like both its own game as well as a spiritual successor to Ace Combat. Bought this as a reward for doing well in the fall semester 2020 and have not looked back. Jose Pavli absolutely nailed the score and it's tough to find a competitor.

In my ongoing and likely futile effort to write a Steam review for every game in my library (#504 out of 700+)... it's time for Project Wingman.

The short version: Project Wingman is far from as good of a game as it could be, but also much, much better than it had any right to be. Developed on shoestring budget with the very simple premise of, “Ace Combat, but with the serial numbers filed off,” the only thing Project Wingman ever had to deliver was satisfying arcade-style flight combat option and a few different aircraft to fly with. Instead, Project Wingman delivers all of that with an impressively in-depth campaign mode and a challenging roguelike conquer-the-world mode, on top of an impressive array of playable aircraft, usable weapons, and artistic flair.

Considering the (tragic) fact that arcade-style flight combat simulators are a well-and-truly dead genre, shambling onward only through the very intermittent output of Ace Combat, Project Wingman, though flawed, is a very welcome addition to the genre and a delightful experience for flight combat fans. Combat is straightforward and fast-paced, frequently pitting the player against enormous waves of foes in the air and on the ground. The larger battlefields can be profoundly chaotic, with dozens of fighters slinging missiles at each other, setting the sky aflame and painting the ground below black with ash and smoke. It is in these moments of frenetic chaos where Project Wingman is at its best, delivering hugely ambitious over-the-top battles that can strain even the hardiest of GPUs. As a long-time (and long-suffering) Ace Combat fan, this is precisely the kind of nonsense I adore.

That said, there are flaws worth noting.

First and most distractingly is the writing. The narrative tying together the campaign missions has some interesting ideas, but they're poorly presented. The syntax is often clumsy, and very frequently words will be used incorrectly—almost as though the script were written by someone for whom English is not a native language, and fail to capture the full meaning they intend in the translation. The end result is a story that feels unfortunately amateurish, and one that fails to meaningfully contextualize the action in the missions. For the most part, Project Wingman emulates both the style and themes of the typical Ace Combat narrative. So, ultimately, it's a game that delivers precisely what it promises: an off-brand Ace Combat experience.

The only other issue I have with the game (other than some annoying optimization hiccups) are very forgivable: the ground terrain lacks detail and relies overmuch on recycled assets, and the full game is smeared in a grainy filter that just kind of makes everything look blurry, whether you're playing at 720p or 2160p. The ground terrain can look especially bad in certain lighting conditions, where it appears as little more than a swath of featureless black. Water textures particularly bad, often seeming more like sheets of partially-reflective metal than fluid. At one point in the game I found myself wondering what PT Boats were doing on land before finally realizing that the “land” was just the normal water textures with some weird lighting.

Of course, all of these issues are very easy to forgive in consideration of the game's threadbare budget and small development team—that it can get so close to evoking the same feeling of a AAA Ace Combat game with only a small fraction of the budget and manpower is nothing short of a miracle.

Finally, it's worth directing special praise to Project Wingman for including a feature that fans have long-desired to see in the Ace Combat series: every time you fly a mission in a two-seater aircraft, your fellow pilot is present in battle with their own unique voiced dialog. Take a single-seater instead, and they'll sit the battle out. It's a small detail, but it adds so much. I can't say that Project Wingman is as good as the games it so ardently emulates, but it does come admirably close. This game was clearly a passion product, and the love that went into its development is clear at every level. That such a thing as Project Wingman can exist in this world is a pure delight.

This game is gorgeous.
This game is fun.
This game is hard, it's as hard as an early Japanese arcade game.
It's rewarding when you pull off a boss battle with 7HP left and no ammo except for a couple hundred rounds in your cannon.
This game beat my ass when I thought I was actually good, which is a testament to it's excellent gameplay in general. I have no complaints except that the loadouts should be more varied, however you can realistically fly any plane in the game in any mission with any loadout and as long as you commit to that playstyle, you can find ways to make it work.

Detractors talk about missing planes: there's a mod for it and there's the possibility of updates in the future.
Detractors also talk about the runtime. If you play this from start to finish you may take anywhere between 5-7 hours in one sitting. Personally, it took me 8 on normal and I had to take some breaks because my hands were cramping from using a controller and frantically shitting my pants dodging missiles. The replayability is extremely high, once you complete the campaign you unlike two special prototype planes and several game modifiers that completely shake up every mission you just completed. There's even some extra stuff thrown in on Mercenary difficulty, the highest difficulty, to reward you for going balls to the wall with the game. I fully expect to have anywhere between 20-30 hours once I'm ready to try Conquest which I don't know very much about, so I can't speak on it.

I love this game. As an homage to Ace Combat games, Project Wingman is a truly excellent example of what a modern video game can be, and how independent developers are able to put out pieces of media that are leaps and bounds ahead of what AAA developers churn out in a formulaic fashion. $25 is a fair price for this game.

Project Wingman really is something special. It feels like Ace Combat including the absurd weapons, silly story lines, and apocalyptic endings. While they could have turned down the orange filter just a tad, it's an experience you won't want to miss out on.

If you're on the fence about picking this game up, here's a handy dandy question-style guide.

Do you like Ace Combat? If so, buy this game! It perfectly captures the best parts of Ace Combat (cool planes, over the top story, awesome music, etc.), and puts its own unique spin on it. It’s a game made by AC fans for AC fans. If you love Ace Combat, then it’s a must play.

Have you never played Ace Combat or any flight sim before? Let Project Wingman be your first! Some of the other reviews call the game unforgiving because of its lack of checkpoints, but do not let that deter you. The difficultly is fairly customizable, so you can tune the game towards your own comfort level. The AI is adaptable towards your preferred level of challenge, and the difficulty can easily be adjusted in between missions without consequence. So, have no fear! Flight sims are a unique gaming experience unlike any other, and Project Wingman is a great introduction to the genre.

Do you actively dislike the Ace Combat games and flight sims in general, and you only wound up here because the steam algorithm forced the game upon you? Well, hey, have an open mind! Project Wingman takes the best bits of the genre and twists it about in a fun way. Even if the Ace Combat games weren’t your cup of tea, or you’re one of the 13 people who actually enjoyed H.A.W.X., Project Wingman may be up your alley.

Between 21 campaign missions and a rouge-like conquest mode that is infinity repayable, Project Wingman offers a fun time for both veteran and rookie aces alike.

An absolutely incredible flight combat game with stellar game-play.

Whilst Project Wingman may lack personal stories shared between members of your squadron, or character development; it easily makes up for it with some of the fastest, most intense and well-balanced flight combat game-play in the genre. Wingman's strengths lie in its flight and combat mechanics, and its stunning graphics and visuals. Unlike most similar games, Wingman makes gun combat much more feasible which will allow you to experience every weapon system the game has to offer without sacrificing game-play. I'd argue that gun-based game-play was the most satisfying part of Wingman's fast-paced combat.

The attention to detailing within the cockpit of aircraft themselves is incredible and despite being a 3rd-person inclined player, I found myself being able to play comfortably with all the immersion that the cockpit view had to offer. Vistas within this game were equally well-crafted and the game delivers beautiful shock-value through the changing of these landscapes throughout the game and during missions. There was some inconsistency within the voice acting and the audio quality of recorded lines, however this can be easily overlooked.

The game overall was perfectly challenging on hard mode for an Ace Combat veteran and I look forward to exploring Mercenary difficulty. Peacekeeper (Ace) squadrons were genuinely terrifying to face in combat, as was the final boss of this game. I'd highly recommend this game to anyone looking for an arcade flight-combat experience focused primarily on game-play.

Wish I could say that I don't recommend this game, because a game with missions that average 30 minutes not having any checkpoints at all is a hard flaw, and fighting squads at the end of missions in Conquest is the epitome of fun getting murdered, because the only thing you're really allowed to do is just hold the stick down and do vertical donuts for like 20 minutes straight, and that's on aircraft with AOA Limiter on, any memories of me using non-AOA Limiter aircraft on my beginning hours in Conquest have regressed... But I really can't, when neither of the aforementioned flaws are in play, it's a good game, a damn good game, the pros easily outweigh the cons, and there is just a boatload of fun to be had here.

If you liked ace combat you'll like this game. Story in campaign is hard to follow, but other than that it's fun. don't expect a simulator type of system. VR works great. the interior gauges and dials don't work other than one radar screen. but for $20 you can't complain. Essentially briefing just babbles about politics and uses call signs and locations as if you know what they are talking about. then they drop you in a battle field. Essentially, if it's red, shoot it down and don't let it shoot you. good fun.

Really fun arcade flight combat game. Don't expect anything too realistic.

I appreciate that I can use the mouse to navigate menus and still use the controller to fly. Some games seem to get confused with multiple input devices.

That said, for the love of God, can we please get some checkpoints?!? An hour+ long mission with multiple stages, and I have to replay the whole thing if I die in the last stage? Come on... Almost enough to turn the yes into a no from me. Flying is ridiculously fun, though, so I feel it's still worth the price of entry.

An indie Ace Combat game where:
- Soundtrack is top-notch too
- Has a VR mode
- You can carry up to 4 special weapons at once and like 100 missiles on the starter planes
- Your allies aren't useless
- Some battles are truly massive and intense, with futuristic gunships with advanced weaponry
- It also has quite the emotional final mission/s
- Has a separate rogue-like-esque conquest mode to truly test your endurance and Ace Combat skills

This is VEERY well worth every penny of the 25$ this costs

Somehow its literally a better ace combat than ace combat. The textures aren't as high res as ace combat 7, the lighting isn't as crisp and clear, but the gameplay is way better. Planes actually really unique and have weight to their movements, AI is more challenging to fly against, WSO and AWACS actually call out different fox codes. Overall I'm really impressed. This feels like a AAA game.

Can't beat it for 25 smackeroonis. Fly around in all sorts of fun planes conducting ethically-dubious operations like bombing refineries full of workers with families. I mean, if that were wrong why would they be paying me in more planes? Look, I'm a simple man. When my boss tells us we're flying to a Hawaiian harbor to launch a sneak attack to destroy the enemy fleet stationed there, I don't ask questions. Simple as. What are they gonna do? Call the UN? They're the ones we're bombing. Dummies.

But really, the game is an absolute blast, it looks amazing, the soundtrack is simply phenomenal, and the story is hammy but decently compelling. The audio mixing could use some tweaking, as sometimes the dialogue is drowned out by the other audio, and some levels could use some changes to the color palette (something the devs have already acknowledged and are working on), but overall it's a top-notch game from a very small team that oozes passion, easy recommendation for anyone already considering.

Ok, think about you want Ace Combat 8 but with an approach closer to Ace Combat 4 and 5 (each plane has more unique quirks, etc) and more replayability. That's pretty much Project Wingman.

There's some good plane variety, great chatter between characters and the campaign is a really fun romp.

Oh, and then there's conquest mode.... which I can see myself playing for a VERY long time.

Project Wingman is a little indie game made mostly by a single developer, it is very similar to Ace Combat and you can tell this game was made by an Ace Combat fan, for Ace Combat fans. And surprise, it turns out it is actually better than Ace Combat 7 in a lot of aspects!

The gameplay is more or less the same as Ace Combat, you get a jet, you get missiles, you go and blow shit up. But overall, it feels a little deeper than AC7, planes generally feel more unique, and you are able to customize your loadouts a little more, giving you way more variety on how you wanna approach each mission. The general feel of flying feels better than it does in AC, planes actually feel like they have some weight, going through clouds is probably one of the best part of flying in PW, the shaking and other visual effects that happen when doing so all feel great! You are also able to customize many settings such as camera sensitivity, FOV, etc... Which is not possible in AC7, and was a dealbreaker for me back then. Not having your face smashed into the cockpit's glass is huge, being able to look around and track your targets is huge. Oh and guns are actually viable in PW!

PW also features full VR support and Conquest mode which gives it a ton of replayability, Conquest mode plays sort of like a rogue like.

In terms of visuals, I would say Ace Combat has the edge, Ace Combat has overall better models, better textures and better assets all around, Project Wingman does just fine in all those areas, only the assests on the ground felt a bit dated, but you shouldn't be seeing the ground too much anyways, and it is understandable considering that, again, this is made by mostly one person. The lighting was definitely overdone is some of Project Wingman levels, lighting sometimes felt oversaturated and completely off, that is mostly the case in some of the early missions, and I think some patches may have toned down the saturation a little bit.

The story was ok, the story revolves too much around the actual conflict, and I feel like characters didn't get as much attention as they should have, and the ending left me feeling a bit confused, it felt like everything was cut short.

Soundtrack is really good, while not always outstanding, it has a fair amount of really good songs. Their composer did a great job overall! Sound design is also pretty good, nothing too outstanding but it works.

Last but not least, I was a bit disappointed with the selection of planes, no proper F-22 Raptor, no F-35, no Rafale or Mirage or European designs in general. DLCs could easily fix this but I unfortunately didn't find any of the planes that I love except for the MiG-21, F-16 and MiG-29.

So yeah, extremely enjoyable arcade air combat game that focuses on solid and consistent gameplay, it has some flaws but for 25 bucks, the game is worth it and I would actually recommend it over Ace Combat 7. I do not regret backing this title.

I have been following the development of Project Wingman on and off after seeing other Ace Combat fans showcase it and I was really curious if it would succeed as a Kickstarter game. After bingeing a good portion of the game, I feel like I have enough for a first impression. I will also be comparing some stuff to the Ace Combat series and especially 7 since these two games are sharing the same airspace in the market right now.

The gameplay and planes feel very good and responsive with a controller and fit neatly for an arcade flight game. If you are coming from Ace Combat, you will slot right into the gameplay aside from a few differences. Like for example, the ability to carry four special weapons which is an amazing feeling when you are flying an attacker aircraft and are popping off anti-tank missiles, unguided bombs and machine gun rain to destroy an entire ground division within a minute. Speaking of aircraft, this game features a nice selection of planes with more unseen ones like the Not Viggen, Not Harrier and Not Frogfoot! The fact that the Not Avro Arrow exists in the roster and the game featuring a price tag of $28.99 CAD makes Project Wingman one of the most Beaverland friendly games out there. So far, missions are more compact and filled for replayability like older Ace Combat games and even have a no checkpoint style as well. If you did not enjoy the score attacks and weather mechanics of AC7, you may enjoy Project Wingman more (I did personally enjoy the lightning missions and shooting oil rig supports in AC7).

The story is sufficient for a flight game as instant props are received for not creating an America vs Russia story for the 69th time. Unlike Ace Combat, the setting is in the real world set after a world shifting calamity which still makes it a strange, but real world. Being a mercenary or sky pirate is probably also the best way to have your character considering the amount of carnage you are creating for money. I have not played enough to get a complete feel of the story or atmosphere, but I do like the Not Yellow Squadron introduced early on in the game and different world dialogue like for example “By the Dust Mother!” to replace the proverbial OMG. I only hope it just does not get overused or else I will have to tell it to dance with the angels.

Visuals and soundtrack are pretty and bopping. The battlefields and gloomy skies are visually pleasing and the planes are relatively detailed (some planes are lacking movement animations though). The weather, clouds and some other effects do not really look great at certain times especially compared to AC7, but I understand the dev team is small and this game doesn’t have a triple A budget. The smoke trails from missiles and planes are a spectacle and remind me of AC6 (along with the lenient machine gun and helpful allies). In addition, the soundtrack is quite the spectacle itself to go along your war crime adventures and I wonder if the skies at the end will start singing Latin.

Overall, this is a nice purchase for its price of $24.99 USD instead of a spooky $60 USD price tag. It is a solid arcade flight game that can be amazing after polishing out the bugs, upgrading the effects and maybe an improved tutorial for people new to the genre. The bugs are mostly minor, but I did have odd issues with somehow successfully landing off the runaway due to habits of speedlanding from Ace Combat and I noclipped into the ground on my second landing in the game. I look forward towards seeing the future of Project Wingman and if they are able to add more aircraft to the roster and introduce PvE multiplayer similar to Ace Combat Infinity; they got a real bunker buster on their hands.

I can't write a detailed review, because the game is so bugged and unplayable at this moment.

When you are in the mission screen, after briefing, the mouse icon doesn't show up.
So you have to select the menu blindly.

It doesn't recognize the gamepad or joystick by itself.
So you have to bind all keys by yourself, which is almost impossible to achieve,
because the you can't see the mouse movement...

What the hell?

I hope there will be a patch very very veeeeery soon.

I have been waiting since the first information about this title and right now I feel very disappointed.

After waiting for a year, joining the discord, waiting patiently for the release date... it´s finally here.
I launch it and I can´t make my hotas work. The same hotas that worked flawlessly in the beta you guys released 100 years ago.
3 reboots and I give up.
I download x360CE in an attempt to emulate the joystick to see what´s the problem. Still doesn´t work.

The funny story is that it happened the same way with Ace Combat 7, and I refunded it (as I have with this game atm) and rebought it later when I found out that they improved hotas support.

Will do the same for this game since I loved the beta ! As of right now, though... I refuse to play with a ps, xbox controller or the keyboard, total Heresy.

I know the game comes from a 2 man crew, so Best of luck to you guys ! Improve the joystick support !

If you like ace combat you will love project wingman. I did bug testing for the month leading up to release and I absolutely love this game. D2 absolutely NAILED the incredible gameplay of AC and Jose Pavli captured the incredible soaring essence the Ace Combat soundtracks are known for. For a single developer, this game puts triple A studios to shame. We were not told what price the game would sell for, and I 100% expected this to be a full $60 title but for 25 this is an absolute steal. I'm over 30 hours in and I still haven't finished everything this game has to offer. This is a must buy for any dogfighting fan.

It's only been an hour since the game came out and I've only played two missions but in that same time span I've had more fun than the entire Ace Combat 7 campaign.
