Here&#8217;s an official description:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Feel like the famous pilot Manfred von Richthofen, a.k.a. the \u201cRed Baron,\u201d when flying his Fokker Dr.I \u2013 or 30 other historical planes at your disposal, from light fighters like the Airco DH.2 to enormous 4-engine bombers like the Sikorsky Ilya Muromets. Customize and upgrade each machine to make it your own \u2013 and recognizable by your enemies from afar.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Choose the flight style that matches your skillset best. In Pilot Mode, you can focus on air combat or collecting and upgrading planes. Squadron Leader Mode allows you to manage resources, hire and train pilots, and expand your base on top of crushing your opponents\u2019 planes in spectacular air battles.<\/p>\n<p>Pick your side and join either the Triple Entente fighting in two available campaigns or shed blood in the name of the Central Powers in a single campaign. Complete them all, and you\u2019ll get to experience all the major fronts of World War I.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/43b2620f0c5a5\/warplanes-ww1-sky-aces.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/43b2620f0c5a5\/warplanes-ww1-sky-aces.original.jpg\" alt=\"Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/0b391ecac7572\/warplanes-ww1-sky-aces.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/0b391ecac7572\/warplanes-ww1-sky-aces.original.jpg\" alt=\"Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>If you&#8217;re liking the sound of this one, it&#8217;s worth pointing out that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2019\/01\/take_to_the_skies_in_warplanes_ww2_dogfight_blasting_onto_switch_on_21st_february\">Warplanes: WW2 Dogfight<\/a><\/strong> also launched on Switch last year for $9.99 \/ \u20ac9.99.
