Until the Last Plane Review

Until the Last Plane is a casual minigame-game about running an airfield in ww2. Alongside the minigames you have an overall management phase where you do airplane maintenance, start the missions, and balance resources to keep everything operational.

The minigames are simple, but every campaign has special missions that change things up enough to keep things interesting. Sadly, many of the minigames are too simple or otherwise flawed- The opponent/AI in dogfighting seems to have only two pre-set scripts it follows and if you've found the solution to those you will always win. On the other hand, you will be hit by unavoidable damage that can lead to your pilots dying(On their second damage that mission) just from trying the bombing minigame, making the minigames very simple things you just get through rather than anything you need to think about.

The management aspect is interesting, showing much less flaws than the minigames. Managing pilot stress and fatigue along with airplane damage and spare parts can be a challenge in the harder campaigns, and every nation has mechanics just slightly different to make them feel fresh for just long enough to get through their campaign. There are events for each nation that give them enough character to feel interesting. The overall difficulty in my experience has been easy outside of the first day of any campaign.
The graphics are pleasant to look at for a longer time, both in the minigames and in the airbase. This is probably one of the strongest points for this game.

In the end, Until the Last Plane is a very short, and somewhat repetitive game. It doesn't take long to pick up and play a day or two out of the campaigns. And although the minigames are flawed, they are still good enough to entertain for a while after the novelty wears off.
The price is accurate- You are not going to get a large game if you buy this. But you are going to get something that will be worth your money if you're just looking for something nice to play every now and then.
