This game is hard to recommend as a standout title, but if it’s sitting in your backlog, it’s worth giving a shot. The gameplay is simple and something you can rush through without much commitment. Its short DLCs don’t add a lot of depth but fit the overall quick-play nature of the game. While it doesn’t offer much replay value, its low price makes it a decent pick for casual fun. It’s a cheap and easy way to pass a few hours if you’re in the mood for arcade-style dogfighting.

It seems to work perfectly on steam deck now. But make sure to setup xbox 360 controls in the initial setup menue and arcade controls in the in-game menue. It's very hard to control in simulation mode as everything is TOO responsive. If you ever played this game on playstation, arcade controls will be very familiar to you. The acting is cheesy but the game is incredibly fun. It plays a lot like ace combat. They really nailed it with the machine gun controls in this game. It's a simple, no frills action game that goes back and fourth between the USA and Britain. The expansions include the British Africa campaign and the USSR campaigns. The USSR campaign is the most enjoyable imo and probably has the best acting as well.

It's a very fun shooter. I had it on PS3 back in the day and had completely forgotten about it. Playing it now it's still very fun.

This is a cool little game if you know what you're buying, for this is not a flight simulator. If you're familiar with Star Wars: Rogue Squadron or Jedi Starfighter you know what you're in for! This is basically a WW2 version of those games. The flying feels nice, the cartoony graphics are nice enough to look at, the game doesn't outstay its welcome as it only took me 2 hours to beat. But as such, I'd only recommend this during a sale; I paid 1,5€ for this and I don't regret it. I also must mention the sound design! Your own plane sounds a bit dull but I love the roaring of the engines when you fly near other planes. Edit: Oh, for some reason the UI is in Italian despite having set "English" in the settings. No idea why, but I managed to get through the game just fine by guessing what the UI is saying.

Soar through the skies of World War II in Dogfight 1942, an arcade-style shooter where you'll pilot iconic warplanes across diverse battlefronts. Experience the intensity of Pearl Harbor, the dogfights of the Battle of Britain, and even daring raids over occupied France, all from the cockpit of iconic aircraft like the P-51 Mustang and the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Intuitive twin-analog controls (think RC planes!) put you in the pilot's seat, letting you focus on mastering aerial combat. Leave the tedious tasks like landing gear and throttle to the AI, while you pull off daring maneuvers and rack up impressive killstreaks – even regenerating your plane's health on lower difficulties. Immerse yourself in the action with dramatic kill cams that showcase your victories. Dive into diverse missions beyond just dogfights. Strategize bombing runs, unleash devastating rocket attacks, and master torpedo runs against enemy vessels. When the odds are stacked against you, call in your trusty wingmen for backup. Stunning visuals enhance the experience, but don't expect a hardcore simulation – this is pure, adrenaline-pumping arcade action where you can rack up dozens of kills per mission. If you're looking for a quick and thrilling dose of aerial combat, Dogfight 1942 delivers the perfect blend of accessibility and excitement for the "turn-and-burn" crowd.
