Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings Reviews

At its core, Airheart is a game in which you fly around collecting items and shooting down bad guys. Unfortunately, too many other elements get in the way for me to recommend this title to Switch gamers.Read More

Airheart - Tales of Broken Wings is an intense twin-stick shooter that at times will have you on the edge of your seat. However, Airheart is let down by the vast amount of grinding it takes to reach its endgame, and with minimal story elements peppered throughout, it's hard to see a lot of players following through right to the very end.

Fly higher and higher until you can fish the mighty skywhale! At the same time watch our for pirates and, your deadliest enemy of all, overfishing! This is a game that you will find obnoxious, charming, or if you're like me, both. Do the problems outweigh the boons? Well, strap into the cockpit and let's take a look!

Many roguelike twin-stick shooters feel very similar but here's a game that definitely breaks the mold. Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings is an almost Zen-like flight game yet it's challenging enough to satisfy genre fans. Let's take to the skies and check it out!

Airheart definitely shows a lot of heart, but in the end it couldn't win mine.

Have you ever wanted to take to the skies in the great blue yonder, traveling through the air as your own boss from island to island trying to cut a little piece of fame and fortune out for yourself? Developed by Blindflug Studios, Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings is a charming twin-stick shooter with a steep learning curve and rogue-like action to propel the game forward. Set in a diesel-punk world, those on the ground are stricken with poverty and so Amelia’s father spends every last resource he has to send her and her alone up into Granaria: the flying city in the sky. Amelia hopes to master the art of skyfishing – a primary form of income in Granaria – and one day take down the legendary and mythical skywhale that no one has ever seen. It’s an amusing premise and fans of aviation, in general, will be drawn towards the name of the game and the protagonist, however, when it comes to gameplay it feels lacking.
