“This isn't a very serious game, and the storyline is really bad. I wish there was a mission at the end to kill my supposed family, who get more and more namby-pamby and anti-war as the game goes on. However, the music…”

“Meh disregard the negative this game is fun I played it through and No issues. If you like arcade fighter games like ace combat this is a good game for the price.”
“an extremely awkward experience - albeit admittedly an extremely short one. Could absolutely not relate to it or get used to flight mechanics. While the earlier games in the series may have been goofy but all the more…”
“If you are not so spoiled this game is OK, but I recommend to purchase this on sales. Imho this is on par with secret wars, (pacific is the best one). But I really enjoyed most helicopter missions, and free flight. The…”

“This game is absolutely unacceptable. Terrible interface, terrible performance, terrible gameplay, terrible soundtrack. They didn't even include freaking graphic settings. YOU CAN'T EVEN CHANGE THE RESOLUTION. 0/10”
“Holy crap what utter garbage. This probably could be a fun game if the frame rate wasn't so horrendous. I'm running a Ryzen 5 2600x, 16gb 3200 ram and a 1080 and this game was dropping to 5 fps. It really makes it…”
“It's 8.5GB of pure scheiße! LOD is horrible in this game. I must keep it set to 0 in order to have smooth motion on my Titan X. My thumbs up for this game is sarcasm straight up the asses of the devs. Now I must leave…”

“I got this game in a bundle a few years ago, while I can't remember the exact price it was incredibly cheap. Considering how little I paid for the game its a nice little time sink, if I had bought the game at full-price however I would have been majorly dissappointed. If you…”

While this developer has put out some VERY nice work in the past Air Conflicts: Vietnam isn't one of them. There are two huge flaws that are pretty much impossible to overlook. The first one that…”
