Joystiq: "Ace Patrol is all broad strokes, offering high levels of play packaged in a simple, intuitive interface. With just a few taps, you feel like an ace pilot, except without the expensive lessons, tedious class room hours or the uncontrollable urge to reach for the air sickness bag at 10,000 feet. Having played so many of the Firaxis' games and having spent so much time learning their intricate mechanics, I'm pleased to report the simple elegance of Sid Meier's Ace Patrol doesn't diminish the satisfaction and underlying depth the studio is known for."
Free-to-play games aren’t exactly a new phenomenon on the App Store, but it felt like the balance of power really shifted away from premium affairs in 2013, with a much larger chunk of the notable new releases each week favoring the freebie model — even those from developers that had seemingly thrived with paid games in the past.
IGN: "Though it can’t match multiplayer of the iOS version, Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol’s tactical dogfights still soar on PC."
Sid Meier's Ace Patrol, the latest turn-based dogfighting game from the legendary Civilization creator, has launched today on Steam for £5.99 / $9.99.
Ace Patrol first launched to critical acclaim on iOS in May, but publisher 2K games is billing this as the "premium version" of the free-to-play mobile title.
