Gunship Sequel: WW2
Gunship Sequel: WW2 is a realistic combat flight simulator with both singleplayer dogfights and real-time multiplayer missions.The core gameplay loop has us play missions to earn XP used to buy upgrades for our existing planes and unlock new ones. Since there are only training and instant dogfight singleplayer matches, the game is primarily PvP-oriented, where there are arcade, historic, and realistic multiplayer modes. Unfortunately, PvP is very difficult to get into due to seasoned players obliterating new players.
Gunship Sequel: WW2 is a difficult game to master – and especially since there is no tracer ammunition or target lock feature, which means everything has to be controlled manually. This makes it tricky to shoot down opponents. Additionally, since the maps are incredibly large, we can fly for long periods of time without seeing any enemies, which makes the game feel very slow-paced.
The gyroscope controls work alright for controlling our plane, but also make it tricky to maneuver and shoot as a new player. The game’s biggest downsides, however, are the tiny tutorial texts that can easily be overlooked, the lack of players in multiplayer, and the fact that some game modes don’t show any options to respawn or quit the game when our plane has crashed.
Gunship Sequel: WW2 monetizes through iAPs for gold used to unlock premium planes, and a supporter subscription that provides 25% extra XP, access to instant dogfight singleplayer, and the ability to create new rooms in multiplayer. This subscription is almost required to fully enjoy the game and costs $1.99 per month or $15.99 for an entire year.
If you’re willing to spend money on the subscription, the game can provide one of the better realistic singleplayer combat flight simulator experiences on mobile.
