The varieties of ammo have different effects. You can purchase better guns and different types of ammo from merchants scattered across the ocean world. Making a flight-combat game that feels this smooth on a standard controller is an achievement all its own. Swooping across a crowded combat zone feels effortless, thanks to the excellent responsive controls. Projectiles fill the air for pilots to dodge and dive away from, and there is no shortage of targets that need blowing up. The most exciting missions are the assaults - frenetic, action-packed affairs where the player bombards an enemy base with animals flying everywhere and ships galore from both your own side and the enemy’s filling the skies. But they become progressively more varied, with new details you might have to retrieve or deliver items, escort important people on their ships, and sometimes you’re ordered to fly the coop away from the enemies to safety.

Or, if you wish, you’re free as a bird to fly about the world in search of your own adventures.Įarly on, missions are simple: Go here, shoot down some enemies, go home. Gameplay entails taking on mandatory story missions and side missions, which seem to be procedurally generated. And when the dark clouds roll in, it sets the perfect dark and menacing mood for raining bombs on your enemies. The dynamic weather system also features shifting air currents, which give your bird a speed boost.
In an unusual twist, thunderstorms are your friend, as you recharge your limited ammo supply when your bird gets zapped by lightning. And the physics-defying Maw, which I can only describe as a “water valley,” is as majestic as it is terrifying. The dual moons of night are equally gorgeous, as is the shift to that green sea color before a storm rolls in.
The spectrum of reddish and purple colors in a sunset’s reflection off the water is just about as breathtaking as sitting on the beach and watching one in real life, but without the eye damage. There are also several stops at magnificently rendered sacred locations during missions (such as a raging volcano), with tidbits of mythology at each and small, esoteric pieces to the puzzle of this beautiful yet dangerous world. So pretty, you could just sit and look at it.
