Our verdict
Air Power is an ambitious oddity that didn't quite take off.
Air Power: Battle in the Skies is a fantasy flight simulator from Rowan Software, published by Mindscape in 1995. Instead of jets, you fly airships and aircraft in a fictional world.
Gameplay
The game mixes flight combat and strategy:
- Dirigibles and aircraft: Fly unusual airships and planes.
- Fantasy world: A fictional setting with its own factions.
- Campaign: Fight for control of the skies.
It’s an interesting idea, but critics found the gameplay disappointing.
Verdict
Air Power is an original idea that doesn’t deliver in its gameplay. It’s mainly a curiosity for fans of unusual flight games.
The Good
- Original airship premise
- Fantasy setting
- From experienced sim developers
The Bad
- Disappointing gameplay
- Awkward controls
- Poorly received
