Review of video game, Luftrausers, by Chandler Wang

 Luftrausers is a simple arcade shooter where you pilot a fighter jet over the ocean, destroying enemy planes, boats, battleships, submarines, and more. It's a fun, fast-paced game that doesn't get old easily despite its simplicity. Your plane is incredibly satisfying to pilot, and weaving through bullets is challenging but fun. Over the course of the game, you unlock many customizations for your plane, including basics such as a body that will increase durability but decrease speed or an engine that will increase speed but decrease control. However, there are also many creative customizations that the game offers, such as an engine that spits bullets as propulsion, an anti-gravity engine, a body that explodes when you die, and a naval body that allows your plane to enter the water without taking damage. You also unlock customizations for your plane's weapon, allowing you to change the default machine gun into a laser beam, missiles, a giant cannon shot, or a shotgun. With countless combinations, you can customize your plane to suit your playstyle, or hit randomize and see what happens. The game has an arcade-like score, and you can increase it by having a combo. This encourages fast-paced, but likely risky, gameplay, and you'll need to scramble to destroy another plane or boat to keep your combo. As your score increases, so does the difficulty, and soon it'll be difficult to find your plane amidst the hail of bullets. You'll need to fly fast and well to progress to the later stages of the game. Luftrausers is a fun, simple, action-packed game that puts you in the seat of an ace pilot. 8/10.
