Namco Bandai's WWI iOS dogfighting sim
Sky Gamblers: Rise of Glory has soared majestically onto the Xperia Play launcher.
In
Rise of Glory, you are able to pull off all manner of aerial acrobatics using the Play's dedicated gaming controls - and you'll need to if you're to stand a chance of evading enemy fire while carrying out the game's 100 missions.
Furthermore, you can take to the skies online to get involved in eight-player real-time aerial combat.
Sky Gamblers: Generic SubtitleIn our review of
Sky Gamblers: Rise of Glory for iOS, we noted that there's a rather steep learning curve to overcome regarding the combination of touchscreen and accelerometer controls.
The Xperia Play-optimised version should prove that much more accessible, then, though it still, of course, offers the same Pocket Gamer Silver Award-winning aerial battles and dogfighting fun.
Sky Gamblers: Rise of Glory is available from the Xperia Play launcher or Google Play, and it's free to install [
download].

I kept crashing into the ground, found it really hard to line up on ground targets, although I've never played flying games before that aren't fixed path so might just be terrible at them lol

Haven't found it difficult to control. It's fine, a really good game if you ask me.

Looking forward to a review as I saw enough to make me interested in going deeper if reviews are good. Deleted for now though due to control difficulty

Difficult to control even on the play as it seems like invert the Y axis doesn't work!
