Kieron posted about turn-based Steampunk dogfightin’ browser game Steambirds back in March, and now it has a sequel called Steambirds Survival! Fancy that. I spent the last 20 minutes trying and failing to get to grips with its homing missiles, but I still had fun. Man, I wish I could fly planes. Just think- while I am sat here at my desk, literally dozens of men the world over are sat at their planes. Watery-sounding and somewhat underwhelming footage of Steambirds Survival beneath the jump, s you’re better off just playing it. Thanks to RPS reader Michael “Fingers” Nørskov for the tipoff.

It’s decidedly okay.

Having just seen Black Adder Goes Forth, your envy reminds me of the episode “Private Plane,” in which WWI pilots could have a lapgirl at a snap and whisked into an enemy prison to break free and shoot whomever they wanted.

It still feels not quite as good as Critical Mass in most ways, although it is generally a little fairer.
I also think the missions lark of the original (and its expansion) worked better than this.

I really liked the original, but this version just feels… extremely mercenary, to me. Micropayments micropayments micropayments!
It just spoils the fun, even for a single-player game.

Though I still kinda liked the original version better.

I’d read that already, actually. Interesting article, but the resulting game leaves me unconvinced.

It’s a shame they took out the Story mode, that timeline thing was the most interesting part to me.

was playing the game just yesterday, purchased a plane for 95000 copper. total waste of 1h of game as the plane is ridiculously weak.
won’t play it again.

Whatever exciting games have, this one doesn’t.
