We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Arcade shoot-'em-up fans who want a defined 16-level campaign
- Players who prefer aircraft combat against both airborne and ground targets
- Shoot-'em-up players seeking multiple firing modes and boss battles
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a broad range of activities may find the game narrowly centered on aircraft shooting.
- Players who need extensive stage-to-stage variation may lose interest in the repeated combat structure.
- Players looking for a story-led war game may find the stated mission focuses mainly on destroying enemy units.
Our take on Proxy Air Force
The likely bounce point is the repeated combat loop: players who need substantial variation between stages may lose interest as the game returns to attacking aircraft, ground units, and turrets. The 16-level structure and 3 boss battles add progression within that focus.
