Controlling this strategy game is a bit clunky. Flying Soldiers utilise a grid-based set up to plan the route that your birds will be able to take. I accidentally placed things incorrectly, placing the wrong tools in the wrong places and misjudging the distance my birds would travel. This really came down to how the stages were set up. The child-friendly nature of the game with its large squares and awkward tool selecting comes to hinder the experience of the player. I fought and struggled with the controls more than any other difficulty within the game. If I could sum up trying to play Flying Soldiers, I would probably suggest ‘frustrating’. When I first heard about this title, I was excited to try it out. This game had an amazing premise, but seems to have let itself down in executing this premise. This may be someone’s cup of tea, but it’s certainly not a title I’ll be going back to.
