Airplane Racer 2021 is an arcade style flight racing game that I have not seen too many people talk about. This was released recently (well as I write this) and one thing I always find strange is when a game releases with a date and the date is nearly out of date! Why would they not put a 2022 on the end of this thing? In a couple of months, this is going to seem out of date. Anyway, this is a fun and very, very affordable racer that is worth taking a look at.
Going For The Win
Ok, so there are multiplayer offerings in Airplane Racer 2021, but so far, I have only dabbled in the single player so that is what I am going to be focusing on. You have three different single player game modes to jump into. Championship is the main one and as you would expect that is just you competing in races, trying to win the championship. You also have arcade mode which scales things back a bit and then there is time trails.
Transform!
I was trying to think what the gameplay of Airplane Racer 2021 reminded me of and then it hit me. This is like the flying sections in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. I mean that as a compliment too. The aircraft feel great and they are easy enough to get to grips with. You need to fly around various tracks, some require more skill than others, but I like that they have taken a more arcade approach to the gameplay as it makes it fun. I found it to be a pretty easy game to pick up and play.
Shotgun Blasts Are Heard
An LL Cool J reference! I legit cannot remember the last time I did one of those! As Airplane Racer 2021 is more of an arcade style racer, you have weapons that you can pick up to try and blast the other racers with or give yourself a boost. One thing I like about this is that when you get shot, you can see bullet holes on the screen. It kind of reminds me of the Blooper from Mario Kart, but not as annoying.
Who Made That Trailer?
Look, this is a budget game, it is going to cost you like two bucks max, and with that comes a certain expectation. I will say that my expectations were low because the trailer on Steam is one of the worst! The planes look like they are super janky and choppy as they fly, but that was not the case when I actually played the game. So please do not watch the trailer and just write this game off!
I have to say that Airplane Racer 2021 is a very basic kind of game, but for a budget racing game, it offers a fair amount of fun. I liked how easy it was to get into and I much prefer flight games that go for a more arcadey and fun style of gameplay than sim ones. At the end of the day, this is dirt cheap so you have nothing to lose in giving it a try if you think it seems interesting.
Pros:
- The racing feels decent enough
- I liked using the different weapons
- I am sure it will be fun to play with others
- For a very budget game, it is not bad at all
Cons:
- The game is very basic in pretty much every regard
- It took a while to pick up my gamepad
