Aces of Thunder is an aerial combat game that puts players in control of fighter planes for dogfights and mission-based objectives set against a dramatic wartime backdrop.

Expect a mix of dogfighting, ground-target missions, and plane upgrades as players progress through its campaign. It appeals to fans of accessible flight combat games with an arcade sensibility. There's little padding to wade through, so the core idea it's built around comes across clearly within the first few sessions of play.
