Let me talk about the conclusion first. I have actually played this game for a while recently, not because its slogan is written like a pyramid scheme, but purely because it is marked with "payment mode: 0". As an old stand-alone dog like me, I feel physically nauseous when I see krypton gold drawing cards. When I see the word "free", I have to be wary, because free is often the most expensive. But this time, I want to say that it really didn't disgust me with the word “free”.
Don't be fooled by its promotional copy. The "Eternal and Mighty Return Ultimate Edition" is all nonsense, and the game is not a fitness trainer. But putting aside these exaggerated marketing words, the nearly 100 fighter models inside are indeed well-made. J-20, J-10B, F-22, Su-57, F-35...these top-notch weapons are all included, and they are not the kind of stickers that make things confusing. You can still see some texture by dragging them on the mobile phone screen. The scene in the hangar is called Retina HD, which is a bit of a cliché to use, but the reflection of light and shadow is indeed interesting, and it won't make you think that it is using material from twenty years ago to cheat money.
The core gameplay of the game is, to put it bluntly, flying shooting. There is no such heavy simulation operation, such as starting the engine, switching the weapon system, and managing the flap elevation angle, all of them are gone. The advantage is that it is very fast to get started, and you can make rolls, sharp turns, tail biting and other actions by rubbing the screen. The adrenaline-filled dog fight feeling is vividly displayed in the 4V4 qualifying competition. You gather two friends, form a team, turn on the voice, shout "3 o'clock, missile!", and then fight with the opponent in a huff and a loop. It feels really good. It is a pure "people-to-people" confrontation. Winning or losing depends on your positioning and timing. It has nothing to do with whether your wallet is thick or not. I have to give it a thumbs up on this point, Wall Information Technology Co., Ltd. To be honest, I have never heard of this name before, but based on the principle of "not selling values", it should be noted as a small domestic stand-alone/online manufacturer.
But I have to make it clear that it is a "conscientious stand-alone machine". We have to look at it dialectically. This game is still a bit of an "online game" in nature. Ranking matches require an Internet connection after all, and can't be considered a pure stand-alone game. But if you are like me and play it as an "online stand-alone game" without thinking about the ranking points, just go in and fly, use different fighter planes to fly freely in the map, and feel the charm of those classic models, then it is really a good "handheld arsenal" simulator and a good game.
Stop talking nonsense, if you are here for the simulator, or you just want to find a mobile game that costs no money, does not force you to charge money, and allows you to play two rounds of air battles with your friends, then this game is worth playing. But if you expect its "ranked battle" to be as fair and balanced as some e-sports masterpieces, and everyone praises it, then you'd better give it up as soon as possible. The mode is just a tack on it.
Final advice, brothers who want to get into the trap, after entering, go in with your left ear and out with the right ear. Ignore any pop-up windows (if any) that ask you to "get a fighter jet for the first deposit" or "combat power enhancement gift pack" (if any). It has a 0 yuan charge, so just use it for free and enjoy the pleasure of flying. The more you download this kind of work, the more respect you will have for small domestic manufacturers. Let's vote with our feet and let those factories who just want to make skin-changing mobile games to slaughter pigs see that they can still live well without krypton money. 🛫
