A modern take on the classic arcade game, Lunar Lander, Lunar Flight extends the experience to a fully, fictionalised Lunar Module Simulator providing a variety of mission types involving Transporting Cargo, Acquiring Data at Survey locations and locating Lost Cargo. Completing missions earns experience points and money to be used to Refuel, Repair and Upgrade the Lunar Module. In addition to missions there are Time Trial challenges complete with Online Leader boards and a globally ranked ‘Pilots’ Leaderboard, ranked by experience.To round out the game there are a variety of Achievements to provide additional challenges and objectives. A truly unique and challenging flight simulation experience, Lunar Flight will give you many hours of immersive, addictive & rewarding gameplay. New to Lunar Flight version 1.8 is the addition of Multiplayer featuring 2 modes including Mission Score Challenge and Deathmatch using the new Weapons Systems.
Lunar Flight has the best parts of a hardcore simulation without the nerdiness. It's definitely a game, not a full sim, but that's a good thing. The learning curve is moderate to difficult but very rewarding. If you've played the old Lunar Lander arcade games you get the idea, but add a 3rd dimension and a variety of challenges and you have a fresh, unique experience. It's not just a sandbox; challenges reward you with experience and credits with which you can unlock upgrades and additional maps. Once you get the hang of it you will find yourself experimenting with different flying techniques and enjoying the ambiance and visuals as much as the gameplay mechanics. Strangely enough you don't necessarily need a joystick; I've been flying it exclusively with the keyboard, although a joystick may make it slightly easier. I highly recommend.
