Greg's Review
Sid Meier is a gaming legend. He created the seminal video game Civilization as well as Railroad Tycoon, Pirates, and Alpha Centauri. Most old school gamers were raised on Sid Meier's classic strategy games.
Mr. Meier has not retired from video game creation. He has his first iOS apps out now. Pacific Skies is his second game. It is the second app both being turn based strategy based which take place during the Pacific theater of World War 2.
The player controls a squadron of WWII fighter pilots as they battle over the ocean. The pilots gain skills and plane upgrades as they gain experience.
I enjoyed the combat system greatly. It is like playing on 3 game boards stacked on top of each other. Fighters can can elevations as they move.
