Dogfighting Is a Mind Game
Aces of the Western Front is a browser-based aerial strategy game set in 1917. It is an intriguing combination of low tech and high tech, providing a retro gaming experience with modern enhancements. At its core, it's an analog game updated for the age of AI. Players pick their moves, reveal them simultaneously and resolve the result. Easy, right? Well, not as easy as it sounds. The game is about knowing your opponent, predicting their actions and balancing that with your own needs. Fortune favors the bold.
AI enhancements include optional AI-managed opponents who taunt you throughout the game (I knew I didn't like AI...) and AI-authored post-battle logs.
