Air War 1941

Genre: Shooter

Game Review
The open skies are your battlefield in this scrolling shooter game. Pilot your fighter plane in Air War 1941 as you engage enemy aircraft in thrilling dog fights, and do everything to control your jet plane. This is a real war, so you must be very attentive and careful; One mistake, and you are dead! Collect coins and medals which you can use to upgrade your plane with new weapons and abilities. win the battle for air superiority.

Air War 1941 is pretty challenging game featuring 10 increasingly challenging levels, I have to admit. This was pretty good for the most part. The controls were smooth and the artwork was good for what it was trying to go for. My only real complaint is the amount of enemies. If this was trying to be a bullet hell game, then I would suggest redoing the coin system, so that they are dropped most by enemies and not the other way around. Or at least add a survival feature and more upgrades. Currently, you spend more time dodging bullets than killing planes because your attack isn't sufficient enough. Other than that, a good game you can complete in less than half hour.

Air War 1941 Walkthrough
Air War 1941 is mostly about dodging enemy's bullets and then finish off the planes with your bullets. It can be quite challenging at times until you get some upgrades, especially once you've gotten Explosion and Rocket upgrades! The game should start feeling a little manageable and easier to complete. Try to spam your explosions as frequent as possible because it has low cooldown. For rockets, I will save it when there is a cluster of planes you can't handle. It's important that you pick up all the powerups, but do not be over excited and soak up too much damage. It is not worth it and die! It just wasting your effort. Slowly and steady, keep a good lookout for bullets then pick up the powerups.
