Wings of Darkness Review - Nintendo Switch

Wings of Darkness is sort of an aerial shooter game featuring battles that turn into moments of hope that you can lock on to your enemies. Don't worry, with 5 difficulty modes, you'll find a mode you're comfortable with!

Full Play-Through (without cutscenes): https://rumble.com/v4b7l1o-wings-of-darkness-playthrough-nintendo-switch.html

Quick review notes:

1. Story? Basic, could have been far better. There is little to nothing we learn about the enemies called Blankers, and by the end of the game you might find yourself not caring. Also game is missing a glossary for enemy machines (or even your own), so you have no clue as to what you're actually fighting.

2. Characters? Klara and Erika are cool, and while they grow as a combat group, they are really not well flushed out. The cutscenes are really low quality, basically images slowly sliding around the screen which are very basic pre-rendered 3D.

3. Gameplay? Very fun, but extremely short. Fights get crazy, but there's just not enough of them.

4. Art style & art quality? Good machine design on the Held Systems piloted by Frauleins, but the enemy machines, the Blankers, are just hard to see or understand as they move around so fast. Not having any detailed data or data sheets to read about them is also really a big miss.

Should you get it? Yes, but only on sale!
