Dogfight 1942, City Interactive's aerial combat video game will be made available for Steam users today. Dogfight 1942 brings to Steam it's exhilarating console-like experience, whilst aiming to bring the aerial combat genre to a whole new level. What Dogfight 1942 does, is it brings the pick-up-and-play simplicity of an arcade game, and combines it with the depth and production value typically found solely in traditional retail games, giving it additional hours of gameplay.
The game features three unique game modes known as Dogfight, Survival and Campaign. Each offering an abundance of action that is engaging and exciting. City Interactive has seamlessly implemented intuitive controls in order to reduce the need for lengthy tutorials to save you getting angry learning things you may already know, and to help gamers of all levels to quickly grab a remote and jump right into the game. However, while the controls are not overly complicated, gameplay is extremely competitive so that even the most ardent flight game fan will find it challenging, so you better get practicing.
In addition to the Steam release today, the busy little bees over at City Interactive have given fans of Dogfight a treat with their second DLC installment known as 'Dogfight 1942: Fire Over Africa' over on Xbox Live. Fans of the game are presented with the difficult challenge of facing the infamous General Rommel in a clash with his forces above Tobruk. The all-out battle in the sky marks one of the most pivotal aerial skirmishes on the African front which is known as the Battle of El Alamein.
In the DLC Fire Over Africa, players will need to become Britain’s top pilot in order to help the Allies repel the Nazi threat before the ominous shadow of the Axis Alliance takes over the sands of Africa. The scorching hot African sky will soon light up with the flames of heavy cannons and fill with the smoke of bullet-ridden fighter planes so you better keep your wits about you or you will be just another bullet filled aircraft.
