This game beats the pants off of Ace Combat on iOS, and itвЂ™s the first title IвЂ™d recommend for a quick, portable flying fix. ItвЂ™s a pity that saved games donвЂ™t sync across iCloud, and the game could certainly use a bit more punch in the sound department, but those are really the only criticisms I have to level against Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy. The flying mechanics feel solid, the enemies numerous enough to (almost) blot out the sun, and thereвЂ™s a lot of great gameplay variety packed into the $3 universal package. I wasnвЂ™t expecting all that much from Sky Gamblers, so I came away with a lot more than I expected. If multiplayer simply isnвЂ™t your forte, there are also sets of challenge missions for you to complete, which can considerably ramp up the difficulty (although the way theyвЂ™re presented is a little lackluster). Game types range from survival to team deathmatch to capture-the-flag, so thereвЂ™s plenty of variety. There are options for local Wi-Fi matches, Game Center match-ups, or public games. To be honest, I didnвЂ™t spend much time dabbling with multiplayer, but it was surprisingly smooth when I did decide to give it a shot. The jet sound effects simply donвЂ™t sound loud enough, the weapons not fierce enough so I found it easier to simply tune out most game noises and listen to the thumping in-game soundtrack. I feel like IвЂ™m whispering across the sky, when I really should be screaming across it. The only part of Sky Gamblers that falls flat is the sound design, which really doesnвЂ™t cut it for me. It was just a small taste of things to come because the 4S canвЂ™t actually pump out graphics to rival the 360 and PS3, but I was amazed at how easily I could mirror all of that game on my MacBookвЂ™s screen.

I also played a few missions over AirPlay on my Mac (using AirServer), and it felt like I was sipping the future. There isnвЂ™t too much obvious texture pop-up either вЂ“ you can see for quite a long ways in this game, which helps with the immersion. Sky Gamblers really impressed me with the number of enemies it was able to display at one time on my iPhone 4S, and the lighting effects on my own plane were absolutely gorgeous. Whittling down the enemy numbers can often appear to be a task of Herculean proportions. ItвЂ™s harder to die when thereвЂ™s nobody left to shoot at you. Flares for getting rid of missile lock-ons are limited in quantity, so the best defense in SG:AS really is a good offense.

YouвЂ™ll use unlimited machine guns, short-range, and long-range missiles to tear apart a horizon full of enemies (highlighted conveniently in yellow and red). Most of the single player campaign has to do with objective-based dogfighting, and it will take you a good 2-3 hours to complete, depending on your skill level.

ItвЂ™s definitely a little touch-and-go at first because itвЂ™s hard to feel the on-screen feedback for air braking and missile launching, but once you get used to the sensitivity of the controls, SG:AS can be a lot of fun to play.

The default control scheme is alright, but I preferred the Simulator set, which allow me to control pitch with the accelerometer, and yaw and acceleration with on-screen controls. SG:AS is a universal title that works on the iPhone and iPad, but I played it mainly on the iPhone вЂ“ simply because I started the single player campaign on that device (saved games donвЂ™t transfer), and I found the iPad too heavy to comfortably play with for more than a few minutes at a time.

Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy, recently updated for iPhone 5 and iOS 6, was a surprising amount of fun.
