Aspiring air pilots, its time to take to the skies with a brand new, 2D air combat game for your Nintendo Switch, Rogue Aces. You’ll join the ranks of the green army, led by your wise-cracking commanding officer, and fight wave are wave against the brutal orange army. Fans of the Steam hit, Altitude, will be right at home here. Rogue Aces features a playstyle that is very similar to Altitude, just without the multiplayer. But don’t let the lack of any multiplayer deter any would-be pilots, Rogue Aces is a blast to play as you’ll soon see.

While having to land to fill up on bombs might be realistic, the constant to-ing and fro-ing between your ship and your targets becomes an exercise in tedium. And then, one island later, you’re doing exactly the same thing. Rogue Aces’ levels may be procedurally generated but that doesn’t automatically make them interesting.
