About the game: Altitude is an indie game that is hard to categorize. Steam considers it an action game, but I am not sure it qualifies. The basic premise is you choose an airplane to control and depending on the level your in you have various objectives to complete.
Controls: Fits the game well and nothing to say here other than the controls work well for the game.
Graphics: Cartoony graphics that have a worms feel to them. Fits the game well.
Sound: I think the soundtrack for the game works very well with an uplifting and memorable score.
Gameplay: So as was stated above you choose an airplane and then have to complete an objective. There are 3 different modes of play. Plane Ball, Base Destruction and free for all.
Plane ball is basically soccer with planes. There is a ball and you have to score 6 times in the enemy goal to win the round.
Base Destruction has you carrying a bomb to the enemy base and using it to cause damage and ultimately destroy the base.
Free for all has you going up against the other planes and trying to destroy them. Whoever has the most kills at the end of the round (certain amount of time) wins.
As you try and complete these objectives you can use your planes weapons to destroy the other planes. To help you do this there are various perks that allow you to customize your planes. These range from shooting rockets to giving you extra armor.
There are 4 different planes to choose from and each of them has strengths and weaknesses. The loopy is incredibly fast but very easy to destroy, the bomber is hard to destroy but moves slowly. The differences are pretty straightforward and mastering each of them takes time.
The game has a training mode that introduces you to the various goings on in the game. The game has no single player as everything is online. There is a leveling system where you get xp for completing various tasks and when you reach different levels you can unlock new perks or new planes.
This is a pretty unique game and very fun and addictive. It only costs 10 bucks which is a bargain.
Verdict: Playworthy!!!
