Analog Addiction writes: "2K and Firaxis Games have announced Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol, an original iOS title from the creators of Sid Meier’s Civilization.
Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol immerses players in strategic WWI air-combat scenarios, as they defend their base and allies. Depicted in high quality 3D, it offers the strategic experience Civilization have come to enjoy."
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.
