Gameplay
The game features simulation of aerial combat starting from World War I biplanes, through to modern fighter jets. There are several game modes to choose from such as 1-on-1 dogfights, missions in different theatres of battle, as well as a sandbox mode. Players can choose from first or third person perspective to pilot the aircraft. Included in the combat are strategy elements, such as resource management and mission planning.[3] [4]
Reception
Computer Gaming World in 1993 criticized Air Duel's framerate, "generic and unrealistic" avionics, lack of Constantly Computed Impact Point, buggy AI, and low replay value. The magazine stated that it would have been better received in 1991, concluding that "Air Duel isn't bad, but it certainly isn't new or better."[5] In a 1994 survey of wargames the magazine gave the title two stars out of five, stating that aircraft "do not seem historically correct ... A great idea with mediocre execution".[6]
