Air Dash Reviews

buggy mess.

It feels like someone took a day off from their real job as a car mechanic and decided to make a game. [b]It's buggy, poorly made, inconsistent, and lacks any real purpose. [/b] [h2]Avoid[/h2]

Air Dash is a minimalist 2Dish/3D low poly business tycoon game where you run a fleet of airplanes around the world, running your own airline, setting the routes and so on. There's a research progression tree as well as the ability to expand your empire, which is all nice and welcome depth, completely wasted on a shallow implementation more suited to web browsers/mobile phones, once more raising the often asked question "Why is something with such low production value on Steam?". From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low quality vector art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the mediocre visuals. The game features extremely lazy, minimalist "art", of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing. The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just iPhone screen tapping stuff. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but I wasn't able to find it on the app stores. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes Air Dash might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Air Dash didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for buying up to 10 planes, you can do this in less than 30 minutes, but only around 28 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game. The poor quality of this game is also reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Air Dash has the laughable, eye-watering price of around $4 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. Because this is the kind of game you can just play for free on mobile phones, it's impossible to recommend anyone should pay money for the same experience on Steam.

hi well i try to down loead tnd it looked good but i was not abel to get it to play or run proply so sorry il be gettin a refund

I returned this game for all of 37 cents, which was worth it to never lay eyes upon it again. It literally just doesn't work. Crashes on a computer with a 4060 graphics card and intel i9 processor. The UI is poorly thought out and most of the time just doesn't work.

I found this game a week before release and added it to my wish list, because I was curious to play it. After 20 Minutes of playing I returned it and applied for a refund at Steam for three reasons: - The game is producing several firewall warnings for suspicious network traffic - I am playing on a 1680x1050 resolution and several windows and menus are larger than the screen (same happens with smaller res) and sometimes when you open layers (profit/loss or flights on cities) you can't exit and have to Alt+F4 the game (without chance of saving) - There is not really a route management. You draw lines between cities but have no idea about the capacity of planes. Even 500 passengers in the start city waiting to get somewhere aren't enough to make a profit. Once drawn the flights are added but you don't get a proper overview of all flights and get in trouble immediately because you have to pay penalties for delayed flights The whole concept is super weird and not well thought-through, it's way too complicated. Sorry dev team for the hard words but the game doesn't make any fun at all. Hope you keep working on it, maybe I give it another try later.
