The missions will try to mix things up by calling out priority targets or perhaps having you protect a certain area or escort a certain friendly.

If you want to mix it up you can hold down the fire button for a missile-view of the impending enemy kill. You have hexagons on the ground and boxes in the sky and you get within 9,000 clicks, get a tone, double-tap the B button and move on to the next. Missions are identical in structure and design to what you’ve played in every Ace Combat game since 1995. You go straight from mission briefing to plane and weapon selection right into the mission. All the superfluous stuff like story and character building are gone. Thankfully, you don’t spend a lot of time not flying in Project Wingman. My analog sensitivity for flying is perfect but trying to get my cursor to stop on the plane or weapon I want is still next to impossible. Ever since Destiny where they use a mouse-like cursor to navigate menus even when using a gamepad, I despise this configuration. I had to wait for a post-launch patch before I could even navigate them reliably and it’s still a pain in the ass even in the latest build. It’s definitely worth tinkering with in VR, but I probably wouldn’t play the entire game that way unless you have a strong stomach.įirst up, the menus are horrible. In all fairness, Project Wingman seems to do everything Ace Combat does but just a bit better right from the start with HOTAS support, head tracking, and even VR support for the entire campaign if you are willing to sacrifice resolution and clarity for some intense immersion. Admittedly, I didn’t waste too much time wondering how this game could legally exist despite it having the same style mission briefing, the same planes with the same camera views, the same weapons and flight control systems, the same style of lock-and-fire combat, the same…well, pretty much everything. Project Wingman, aka Exhibit A in the upcoming copyright lawsuit by Bandai Namco, is a pretty awesome arcade flight-combat game and why wouldn’t it be? It pretty much borrows and steals every single element and aspect of the Ace Combat franchise, tweaks it slightly, and tosses it up on the Steam store for less than half the price of the most recent Ace Combat title.
