Sid Meier's Ace Patrol App Reviews

Interesting strategy

Like it a lot, it remind me a board game. The only drawback is what the game is really hard can be sometimes if you dont use In game purchases.

The app crashes at the end of Cambrai Offensive chapter of the British Campaign when there is a picture of celebrating people and you have to tap at screen to continue. iPad 3,6 iOS 7.0.4 Here is from the crash report: Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0xedf90444 Triggered by Thread: 4 ...

very very very bad

It is absolutely fantastic game which opened to you ability to command a fly squadron. I am very like many abilities and tactics on battlefield. Recommend it to everyone, maybe the best tactics which I played on iOS.

I hate when I must look at advertisement in app which I pay money. And this banners is worsest type of ad.

... To have 5 stars need more missions, a better control (errors are too easy to be committed... Hex touch is not precise) and the top would be mission editor... Overall is nice and the more you play the better you get...

Constant ads between missions? Two stars. No single mission selection? One star. Enjoy.

Lots of fun!

Not sure if that was because of the Apple refunds for the in-app purchase that dont work/install or a glitch. Anyways just wanted to add: Humorously, the British planes & pilots are the weakest. USA, second worst. Now playing as the French which make the other two look like children. The German are the most powerful on any level. Guessing the developer, not 2K which is likely merely a distributor or licensor, is of a European country. Thus the high learning curve even on the easiest level. Also you tend to replay the same missions over & over (in app purchase doesnt work as I found out & iTunes refunded); and the new planes (2) in the game are either slow, weak & maneuverable or fast, strong & low in maneuverability. Also issues with crashing, most likely previous complaints are based on the IOS. I have to restore all my iPads, iPods every few months or the Apps start crashing. An issue that has plagued Apple since the second generation of iPod Touch.

Should be noted that this is essentially a "lite" version of the app, as you cant beat the game without buying a campaign. Pretty addictive turn based strategy with role play elements, though the missions get a tad repetitive. Penalties are very steep for losing a pilot, as you cant retry the mission, and pilots will be POW or hospitalized throughout the remainder of the campaign, leaving you with only the survivors for the 4 pilot missions. Entertaining, but slightly disappointing.

A wonderful game, nearly perfect in every way, except... You have to pay for each campaign, and even for necessary add-ons like superior planes. It ends up being a ripoff. I bought the full versions with all campaigns and add-ons for $4.99.

This is a turn based game that plays like a real-time simulation. Excellent game concept. To really experience the full game you need to buy all of the campaigns (Pilots from different countries). There are significant differences in aircraft and the corresponding tactics. Even with this, the game is worth buying. I would have preferred to buy everything up front, but this approach allows you to see if you like the game before spending more. I detest the IAP healing option for one dollar. Not needed and pure greed. The other IAP all expand the game; the total is a reasonable price for the game you get. Also, I hate the advertisements, even if they are infrequent. One star off for that crass commercialism. The game has a few bugs that cause some mission crashes but they arent too frequent.

I love the interface and the style in general. Genuinely fun variety of missions, just wish there were ways of recovering crew from capture/injuries that wasnt IAP. Cant wait to check out the sequel when I get some cash. :)

If you have a bottomless checking account, this is the game for you It started out all too well; a promising turn based game with WWI aircraft. Select your pilots, upgrade them with bonuses and new aircraft. The first few levels were fun, so I decided to continue and finish the current campaign, thinking $4.98 for the nation packs would be value for the content received. How wrong I was. As others have said, the difficulty level spikes almost immediately after the unlock point. The game becomes frustrating and no matter what difficulty level you play on, you will lose pilots and lose them frequently, its unavoidable. If there was a way to recruit new pilots to replace injured ones, this would be less of an issue, however the only way to heal your pilots is through a $0.99 cent in-app purchase. In other words, users have to pay in order to continue the game that they rightfully purchased. This kind of behavior sickens me; insidious microtransactions and in-app purchases are forced on a user to continue to play the game in order to make money for the developer. It is equivalent to highway robbery; and I urge all users to stay away from this game at all costs.

Terrible. After every completed mission. Save feature doesnt work. Developers need to do a lot more work on this app. To many break-fixes. Furthermore, Players will also need to spend their own cash to keep this app fresh and new, otherwise its going to get really boring. I hope some updates are coming soon.

Really great game. However, as a player that has purchased all of the campaigns, I shouldnt be seeing pop up ads.

surprisingly fun, and engaging.

I payed $4 to unlock all of the campaigns and theyre trying to make me pay for the Britain one again to move forward to the next set of missions. If you play this game dont buy anything. They will not give you what you pay for.

Money money .... Money!
