With a few good, expansion pack sized tweaks, Battlespace: Wingdinger would've been a solid 20 hour experience. As it stands, even the first runs, where you're still unlocking different ships and playstyles, manage to be boring. Once you get 3 ships with rocket cannons and max burst, you've basically won. But you'll likely achieve this on the 1st of 4 maps. That means 3/4rds of the game is filler. The ship and difficulty progression are likewise murderously slow and tedious. There is basically no avoiding grind in 2018, every game has it. But then I had the most tepid realization of all. Even if everything in Battledroid Carmichael was unlocked to me now, I wouldn't bother to check it out.
