Aces High Demo

Wars are usually fought on all fronts, including air, sea and land, especially since technology now allows for very advanced vehicles that take advantage of every medium. Thus, whether it's the unpredictable planes up in the air, the devastating tanks on the ground or the massive battle ships in the middle of the ocean, war is dangerous in its every form.

Aces High is a combat simulator that allows you to take part in a variety of battles throughout the World War II, using anything from bombers, fighter planes, tanks and even ships to wage destruction on the enemies. Naturally, the gameplay changes dramatically when you switch from one medium to the other, especially since every vehicle acts in a realistic manner and it can be very difficult to properly control most of the machinery without a bit of practice.

To start off with, you are presented with a list of vehicles at the beginning of every mission, containing tanks, aircraft, ships and a few other variations. Depending on your preferences and style of play, you can pick either of them and head onto the battlefield, choosing the desired spawn point as well. Naturally, the control scheme is different for every kind of vehicle, which means that you will have to take a look over the hotkeys before starting the game.

Once you are familiar with the mechanics, you can start actively participating in the war and accomplish a variety of mission throughout the battlefield, using your vehicle's special abilities to do so. Hence, whether you have to bring down enemy planes by taking part in adrenaline-infused dogfights, or maybe conquer ground objectives with the help of a tank.

As far as the visual chapter is concerned, the models themselves are very detailed, especially when it comes to planes, ships and ground vehicles. However, the environments are rather lackluster, although you also have to keep in mind the fact that a detailed landscape takes up a lot of resources on your system, not to mention the case of multiplayer battles where dozens of players go head to head against each other. A high-resolution texture pack is also available, in case you want to substantially improve the quality.

All in all, Aces High manages to successfully blend a variety of different elements and maintain a high level of quality. The large amounts of content should provide you with quite a lot of gameplay time, especially when it comes to the online scenarios against people from all over the Internet.
