There are a lot of Warhammer games out there, like seriously there are far too many to count. Some of them are amazing but most are average at best. They often tend to cover the shooter, strategy genres but Dakka Squadron is looking to fill another niche.
Dakka Squadron puts you in the shoes of an Ork Flyboy, a curious breed of Ork who is somewhat of an outcast in his world. You see Flyboys like to fly and shoot things from the air making them quite unique in the Ork world. Dakka Squadron is described as an action shooter rather than a true flight sim and this is fine with me as anything too serious wouldn’t sit quite right with the Orks.
