Red Wings: Aces of the Sky Reviews
The aerial exploits of the Red Baron are no secret. Military allegiances aside, his accomplishments behind the controls of his Fokker Dr1 Dreidecker are to be marveled at. Now, you can take to the skies and become the Baron, dodge, and weave your way through the allied planes and dogfight your way to brutal glory.
Play as the World War I ace, in his Sopwith Camel, taking on the Red Baron in: Red Wings – Aces of the Sky on Nintendo Switch. This review takes a look at the mechanics of the game and what to expect in the skies over Western Europe.
Red Wings: Aces of the Sky is a bland arcade plane shooter that had some potential, but simply didn't "take off". It has its moments, but overall, it's very mediocre in the execution.

Red Wings: Aces of the Sky is a fairly solid dogfighting game presenting a good selection of maps, and some alright supplementary modes.
It’s not a massively deep game, with a skills-and-stars upgrade system cribbed from many a game. That being said, Red Wings: Aces of the Sky is a fun little adventure in a First World War mold. Taking to the skies has never been so colourful.
Red Wings is torn between its arcade ethos and its aim for historical accuracy. Perhaps it should have leaned further in one direction.
If you're looking for airborne thrills on the Switch the list is a pretty short one, so for fans of aerial domination should be excited for the arrival of Red Wings on the system...
