Stunt Flyer used to be quietly launched at the Nintendo Transfer in February 2025, and it’s simple to look why this one flew underneath the radar. Through all appearances, it’s the cheap Pilotwings with a kiddie focal point. And truthfully, that’s now not too a ways off the mark. But it surely’s additionally a soothing recreation that will get increased with two-player simultaneous co-op.
You and a pal fly as Jimmy and Sophie (and a handful of different pilots) thru a global that appears love it needs to be Wuhu Island 2.0 in all however identify most effective. In fact, the loss of originality invitations comparisons that Stunt Flyer can’t reside as much as, even with unlockable islands. However when I approved it for what it used to be (a recreation missing originality and varnish in comparison to the name it aimed to emulate), I had some temporary amusing.
That stated, there’s actual aimlessness within the affairs. Whilst I favored the exploration, I ultimately longed for extra construction. Stunt Flyer has acquainted missions (capturing, taking footage, races, and so on.), however they range sizably in leisure worth and appear to be scattered about with out a lot idea. Discovering scattered rings to realize revel in used to be amusing, however after gathering 100, it looked as if it would stop serving any serve as aside from needless busy paintings. It’s a balancing act mixing missions with the liberty to do what you need, and Stunt Flyer struggles with it.
Aesthetics don’t supply a lot lasting lend a hand both. The sport has one primary track monitor. Even though delightful, you’ll develop bored with it as you seek for extra to do. Visually, it looks as if a higher-res Wii recreation. Come to determine it is only that, first launched on Wii with a somewhat longer identify and a plastic peripheral. Over 13 years later, its age is appearing.
I rigidity once more that enjoying with a pal is the place Stunt Flyer flies the best. Break up-screen lets in every to do their very own factor but additionally cooperate on missions. How a lot lasting energy it has is a good query, despite the fact that. My spouse and I had our fill in lower than an hour, and I used to be compelled to maintain alone for this overview.
Stunt Flyer runs out of gasoline when enjoying solo, however split-screen co-op elevates it somewhat. How a lot lasting energy this has would possibly rely on your need to earn achievements, enhance project instances, or just relax for a spell. Even with the finances value, I’d watch for a sale or simply boot up Pilotwings 64 on Transfer On-line.
