An airplane game is always a good one, and for a change, today we're going to play something different because so far the airplane games I've tried have been PlayStation 5, and Ace Combat left me very happy, but let's see how Air Conflicts Vietnam goes.

Air Conflicts Vietnam is an air combat simulator released on November 26, 2013. In this game, we will experience the air battles of the Pacific during the Vietnam War, and it promises a lot of action. Let's start with the story. The game takes place during the Vietnam War in the Pacific Theater of Operations, focusing on the battles between American and Vietnamese forces. You play as Joe Thompson, a young American pilot who participates in air missions during the Vietnam Conflict. We can experience the campaign from both perspectives, providing a balanced view as it combines arcade action with light simulation elements, making it more accessible for players who aren't looking for an ultra-realistic flight experience. We will see the war from Joe Thompson's point of view.

Obviously, by engaging in missions that reflect the military endeavors of this game, it combines air combat and aircraft carrier management, offering a varied experience that includes piloting aircraft and directing operations from aircraft carriers. I already mentioned that in air combat, we can pilot a wide variety of combat aircraft, including bombers and torpedo bombers. Missions range from dogfights and bombing to torpedo attacks. Launching torpedoes is a great experience.

We'll also have aircraft carrier management, where we'll have to manage the aircraft carrier, organize the defense, and launch squadrons of aircraft on missions. This combination adds strategy to the game, forcing us to make tactical decisions about how to deploy our forces. Great! The gameplay is quite fluid and intuitive. It also offers multiple viewing options if you don't want third-person mode. If not, you can choose first-person mode. Personally, I prefer third-person to appreciate the beauty of the aircraft. That's what I like, and with fluid gameplay. We also have several game modes. The single-player campaign includes a series of missions based on historical events with objectives ranging from escorting convoys to participating in large air battles. And when we say large, we mean really large. There's plenty of action during combat, which is quite immersive.

The game also offers multiplayer modes where we can engage in aerial combat against any player online. However, thanks to the fluidity of the gameplay, there's no need to resort to graphical gimmicks. The explosions sound great, and I like that the battle feels real thanks to the sound. Everything that happens on screen has excellent sound adaptation, from the plane's engines to the machine guns. If we want to criticize the game a bit, we can say that the controls could have been simplified a bit more, as those who are not as experienced with video games will have a harder time adapting, and this may discourage potential players. Also, although it has different missions, at some point they can feel repetitive and a bit dull.

My opinion after playing

Air Conflicts Vietnam is an aerial combat game set in the Vietnam War that offers an accessible, action-oriented experience. It doesn't aim to be a realistic simulator, but rather an arcade game with simple gameplay that allows you to enjoy combat without technical complications. The story follows a young American pilot in a campaign that combines bombing, escort, and rescue missions with aerial engagements, all with a more narrative style.

Despite having an interesting setting and a good variety of aircraft, the game suffers from graphical limitations and somewhat basic artificial intelligence, and can become repetitive over time. However, it's a good option for those looking for a quick, straightforward experience without complicated learning curves.

In conclusion, Air Conflicts Vietnam serves as a light, arcade-style aerial combat game, ideal for entertaining without demanding technical or narrative tasks.
