Wings of Glory FAQ
Is Wings of Glory free?
Yes, Wings of Glory is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Wings of Glory legit?
🤔 The Wings of Glory app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
It’s really annoying to have to constantly press the tiny confirm button at the corner far away from my hand. Having to confirm is not even necessary anyway! Every single turn…. also, it makes you play through a tutorial and read instead of just letting you watch a video which is ridiculous. Update this to fix these mistakes and I will give a 5 star review.
Boring after an hour or two
Repetitive and doesn’t have content (missions, campaign…) to keep your interest. Definitely not worth the price.
Fun, but never changes
I like the tabletop game a lot and decided to support it more by buying the app. For the price, I would expect it to get updates with more planes or a campaign or something new periodically. It has not changed since I purchased it two years ago. They maybe added leaderboards. But the planes and scenarios are still the same. It’s like all those early access games out that never get updates once the devs get your money. For the price, it’s not worth it. Save yourself some money
THERE IS NO CAMPAIGN
Without a campaign this game is pointless.
WITH a campaign and a story, this game would be epic. It would give the player a sense of purpose for playing each mission and satisfaction in the struggle for victory.
Please take this game and make it great. The potential is there!
Great But Could Be Even Better
Love this game it’s definitely going down the right track. A few suggestions that would make this game even better. I will second what a lot of reviewers are saying about a campaign mode, that would be a fantastic idea! Also for online play, an option where you can start an online game with random players and then each player has 24 hours to do their turn. This will allow some flexibility instead of having to constantly log in and see if a game is available and/or if you don’t have time to play a complete game in a short period of time. Please consider and thanks!
Increase play area
Too easy to go out of bounds
Campaign Ideas
As others have noted, a campaign would be great. Ideas for a campaign:
- Start out as a rookie and gradually accumulate skills up to a high ranking ace.
- Consider following the history of a known ace fighter and use that for a storyline
- As you progress through a campaign, start out in early years of the war and the available planes during that time, then as the campaign and war goes on, make new planes available as they would have come to be later in the war.
- Provide historical “flavor text” as part of the campaign, explaining the significant differences between planes, fighters, battles, etc. Maybe make this skippable incase someone wants to get quickly to the mission.
Love the app! Off to a great start. Just some more ideas to keep it going. Thank you!
It’s great, a campaign would make it fantastic
It’s a smooth, intuitive realization of the board game, and it makes playing with friends online easy. Here are some things that would make it even better for me:
* a campaign; a set of overarching, branching missions with an accompanying narrative
* an ability to turn off the cinematic, particularly the “shot down” black and white cinematic which sometimes make it unclear who was actually shot down, and break immersion
* an ability to compare maneuver decks or damage decks; when I’m picking between an “b” or “c” maneuver deck, I have no way to visually compare them
* an ability to restart challenge mission; some of these missions are hard (which is good), and if you make a mistake early on, the only way to restart the mission is exiting to the main menu and then navigating back to the challenges menu
Overall, great implementation of a great game. It gives an enjoyable simulation of early aerial dogfights in a turn-based form.
Fun game, pls add more UX polish
Really like the game. Would like to see a fast camera orientation to point the camera with plane forward, as pinch rotate is not fast.
Also would like to auto zoom to all planes on screen.
Also, would love an actual campaign.
Great adaptation of a classic
If you haven’t played the tabletop version, or if you, like me, can’t play it as often as you’d like, get this app. It’s a very smooth adaptation of the tabletop version, a fast-paced but historically accurate WWI dogfighting extravaganza. The developers are planning to add more planes/scenarios, and already put in bigger dogfighting maps at the request of the players. Awesome game. Get.
