Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron - Flyboyz Edition

Not a huge fan of this kind of games but having lots of fun so far. Good graphics, decent gameplay, music and sounds are great. Tottaly worth its reduced price.

50 minutes of gameplay, why does the game freeze repeatedly, the loading screens last like 15 minutes and the FPS are so low that I can't open the menu, to exit I had to force the PC to shut down. I was barely able to play the tutorial because (based on the FPS mentioned above) compared to the first level of the campaign, as I said, I had to force it to shut down so I could go back in and check if it was the graphic quality (surprise, there was no change). If you are interested in the game, I say this from having played the android version before it was released from the store, the gameplay and control is simple but fun, it is not a big deal but it serves its purpose, although as many also say, it is becomes somewhat repetitive in some aspects. In summary, a decent game with a poor execution on this platform, and if you are still looking for something to play that is similar, for that it is better to play world of warplanes that even I with a bad connection can enjoy without errors or connection problems or the game itself in general.

Warhammer 40K has a lot of fun games, but lately they've also put their brand on a bunch of low-effort trash. This game is definitely one of those. Get ready for a few fun missions at first, then absolute garbage. Its like they assumed nobody would play for more than an hour or two. I should have stopped at that point, honestly, but I figured I'd at least try to finish the campaign.

The game is not ideal - has some occasional glitches (like respawning in the wrong place, sometimes the AI of some single enemies is glitched and he constantly bumps into the wall in small caves), and sometimes you could use more freedom in terms of game area (it's a bit limited), and I wish that in later parts of the game, there would be not soo strict the limit of weight of weapons and add-ons. But aside from that - the game is pure fun! I think it's the most enjoyable action/arcade flying game, I've played so far - permanent action, speed, a lot of weapons to choose from, atmosphere of junky, "orky" environment - I love all those elements. Sadly, I did not have a chance to play in multiplayer (and I don't like the fact that I have to use Galaxy for it, plus being limited to playing with only GOG users), but the SP campaign is very fun. Even if it doesn't have too much variety. It may not be a perfect or groundbreaking game, but I like what I experienced - go ahead and try it!

Dakka Squadron is a fun, small game, that offers a day or two of entertainment. You are playing as a Flightboy and make your way up to the position of Waaghboss within 22, give or take, levels. All in all, Dakka Squadron is an arcade game, with controls that take a while to get used to. For example, using a gamepad, there is no way for you to control the tilt of your plane and the R stick is used for evasive manuvers and to acc- and decelerate. And depending how sensitive your stick is, this might result in unintended movement. What also doesn't help are what are most likely the deadzones of the sticks. You either fly straight forward or make a sharp turn, there is barely any inbetween, which results in some very bad aiming. Now, the game has some sort of autoaim, which does help, but you can't do any precise movements. And while you may could argue, that you shouldn't expect anything different from an Ork aircraft, the two looted vehicles you have don't perform much better. As for the aircraft, you get three types. Regular fighter craft and two types of bombers, all with three or four ships that are basically variants of each craft. For example, one fighter has four gun slots, one has two gun slots and one for missiles and the third one is good for ramming. There is a good selection , although maybe not a well balanced one. Often, I felt that the bombers where simply better than regular fighters, especially once you unlock energy weapons. And speaking of balance, Dakka Squadron might be an Arcade game, but you have to keep track of some mechanics. For example, firing your weapons fill up your Heat meter, which decreses over time, but you cool down much faster when you use your boost. However, boosting uses up fuel and you constantly have to balance these two out, especially when using a fighter. As for enemies, you obviously face other Orks and some Necrons, but you also have a small stand off with the Mechanicus, which results in funny story bits.
