Rise Of Flight Demo

In a few short years, planes have evolved from pure experiments to full-blown battle machinery, complete with powerful machine guns and bombs to drop over the cities. Thus, the first world war featured intense air fights, in which some of the most famous planes of the era took part, including Albatros, Spad and Fokker.

Rise of Flight is a game that takes simulation to the next level and allows you to participate in dogfights all over Europe, during the first World War. Thus, beside having to keep track of your foes and shooting your guns at them, you also have to put great effort into keeping the plane steady and avoid crashing it at all costs, even if that may sometimes require you to take a break from shooting at the other aircraft.

The thing that really impresses is the level of realism the game displays, which makes piloting the planes as close to reality as possible, with the only difference being that you do not have to fear for your life whenever you make the wrong maneuver. On the other hand, this means that you really have to put some effort into learning to fly them, because otherwise you will spend most of the time with a pile of flaming wreckage on the screen.

Since the graphic engine is capable of rendering immense amounts of detail, the airplanes have received extra care when it comes to their resemblance with the original models. Thus, beside the accurately depicted fuselage, even the interior has been kept as close to reality as possible, with every gauge, button and lever that can be found in the actual cockpits. The high-resolution texture do a great job at representing even the smallest details.

Once you get past the appearances, though, you need to be able to go more than just admire the planes and the landscapes. To that effect, the game provides you with an enormous amount of missions you can undertake, as well as a full career mode that takes you through the entire war and at the board of a large collection of stunning planes. Even if these missions are not too varied and they mostly require you to destroy the enemy aircraft, they are intense enough to keep you playing for hours at end without paying attention to the time.

In the end, Rise of Flight is also quite well sustained by its community and developers, who constantly put out new content for it. Hence, new planes and missions are available all the time, which provide you with an immense virtual playground to explore and customize according to your own needs.
