Yes but understand this is a niche of niche games If you fall into this niche, you'll have a great time if not, pass on it Do you like >Flight sims >Cargo Delivery/Elite like trading >Do you like a brutal flight model? If so, this game is for you. Its not an uber realistic sim given the Sci-fi seting of a planet undergoing Terraforming and the simplified controls. However desptie this, the flight model here is BRUTAL...to be honest in some cases I think more brutal than it is in real life (standard takeoffs are virtually impossible, your aircraft will roll on itself, Just take the fuel hit and go for VTOL Takeoffs). But it gives the game a rather unique "Man vs nature" vibe that requires you to navigate Mountains, Geysers, volcanoes, Constant strong weather and upper atmosphere radiation to get to the landing pad so you can deliver people or needed things. This stuff has mass so that affects your flight characteristics (More mass = more power needed) but gives you greater reward if you plan your route smart. (Passengers are on a somewhat strict time limit though You wont be penalized harshly for getting them there late). Its all about that risk reward loop and then getting the most money with the most acceptable risk to upgrade your aircraft. (Though I will say when you lose cargo boxes it happens way too much that they clip inside geometry, That should have been fixed, not a deal breaker but very annoying, also some water skis would be nice as an alternate landing gear upgrade) One interesting thing is I've never had to worry about fuel as much as I have in this game, Sure in something like Nuclear option things got dicey if I was Afterburnermaxxing in a revoker. But because Takeoffs eat a lot of fuel (Due to the fact I cant do a proper VTOL/SVTOL takeoff, that is ease the thrusters to forward vector as my airspeed increases) and landings can be fraught when you are in the red. Efficient flight becomes your top priority, especially in early game when you are crossing islands in a Scarab as flight mode is all about managing timely deliveries with your approach fuel reserves. I have died several times because I mismanaged fuel on an approach because I thought I could make it Per Online DRM for a single player game...I see both sides of it. I get that the developer wants to curb piracy, but on the other hand Its a single player game and having online ANYTHING for an offline singleplayer game is a hard sell. If that is a deal-breaker I wont fault you, not for me personally but I totally get it, especially for a niche-of-niche title (though I can see a debate between potential lost sales with DRM vs lost sales with piracy, again I see both sides to this one and don't fault either of them). I do think the story gets in your way a little too much (Text boxes often take precedence over what you are here for and give you uninvited prompts) but Its a nice way to ease the player into the game loop and progress the story while you build capital to get bigger and better equipment and ships. Last thing I wanted to talk about was controls. Its doable on an M+K and Controller (I have had a little trouble getting it set up on my joystick gremlin'd sticks, but I havent spent a whole lot of time doing it), but I think controllers are the better choice here. The actual controls are pretty easy to grok relative to a normal flight sim (There's a lot of menus for things like flaps and landing gears that are mostly automated but you can run manually if you wish) and after a short learning period its all pretty easy to navigate). Overall despite having some terminal skill issues, I have enjoyed this game. The niche appeals to me hence the thumbs up.

As always, whenever the Czechs make a game it's an absolute banger ( Example: Original War ) Thought at first by the negative reviews that this is going to be a complete mess, good thing that wasn't true, but it does have it's problems The Good: -Immersive flight conditions -Some story elements -Non stingy job payouts The Bad: -Tutorial is horrible at teaching you anything, you're better off having some flight knowledge yourself -Energy depletion is too fast, you can barely make it 1/3'rd or 1/2nd across the map flying in a straight line, doesn't help the energy in a battery weighs down your ship too much, if you don't have at least of 2 tons of free space on your craft you're not even going to get off the landing pad -Unfinished, hasn't been updated in 2 or more years, developers basically no longer exist The Ugly: -Exiting a hangar with cargo onboard will sometimes leave the cargo inside the hangar outside your craft -Barely any air traffic, the times I did meed other aircraft were not that impacful, would of liked to see more movement on the landing pads and runways -Very easy to softlock yourself from proggressing, your first game will probably end in deletion I really wish there was more of this game or games just like this, but sadly companies sway away from uncertainty to release something that will give them certain profit, countries like the Czech republic and Hungary will always remain the best countries for gaming innovations All in all I give this game a 7/10, it does it's job , sad it's unfinished but I hold it in a special place.

The gameplay is great but the UI is weird and the story is lackluster. Worth it for the flying. I hope to see more games like this

June 2024

Its a good game. You really feel like flying. Challenges are good, flying through volcanos. I wish the graphics where better and there was more content, it's kinda blan, but the physics make me recomend game.

Bought this game years ago (after watching a Scott Manly review) and it was a chore to play. Had a decent PC but still had to play on Low graphical settings and even that was only around 45fps. Now, after the lastest optimization update, this game runs like butter on High! Such a pleasure to play.
