XWA-IW 1: Abyssi Ianua - Gates to Hell
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
A great battle for A-Wing enthusiasts! Good use of the craft overall as well, as most missions are tailored made for what the A-Wing does best
Nice battle of good length; it scales up in difficulty nicely from 1 to 4 with 5 being a nice way to cap it off and end it. I also liked that they worked in a nice cinematic moment after hypering to another waypoint in mission 4; I think more missions need to deliver story elements where the player gets to see something critical by looking at the right spot when the timing is right. Good variety of fighters to fight against, good mix of objectives in missions. And being tied to an A-wing the whole battle felt thematic as it being your specialization and role within the fleet.
Great selection of mission types, most enjoyable. Mission 5 was hard work through, as the MCRV's were monsters and hard to kill!
Great battle with spectacular scenery! It is so much fun flying an A-Wing, despite it not being perfectly suited for a bombing mission like mission 5.
The story and briefings were nicely thought out and presented. Mission 1 was fairly straight forward, zip in and kill some satellites. Mission 2 was crazy and the reason this is not rated a 5. You have to inspect a ton of capital ships, all alone, and not die. It only took me a couple of tries, but wow, it was crazy.
Mission 3 was a struggle for me, but it was a very enjoyable struggle. One massive battle. Quite entertaining. Mission 4 and 5 were a bit easier than 3 and just helped wrap up the story.
A nice battle, well developed with a gripping plot. The A-W is definitely not a nice startfighter when entering a massive capship battle and anyhting else would have been better. Difficulty was above average, but I am a lousy XWA pilot, so I can not judge very well. I had a lot of fun with this one.
I'll start by saying that the A-Wing isn't my favourite IW ship to fly, and that some elements of this campaign would've been easier in an X-Wing. That said, aside from having to watch a friendly base be destroyed before friendly forces showed up, this was an excellent campaign with a compelling story!
This battle was well made, without any visible bugs. The storyline is okay, I'm not a big fan of the alphabet fighters, but since it's a IW battle I can't really count this against it. The third mission was tough, but if you follow the orders it's way easier. Good job!
A couple of the missions are pretty bare bones, the fleet engagement in 3, though, is pretty awesome. Story's fairly incoherent, but again, mission 3 makes the whole thing worth it.
This was my first foray into the IW series of missions and it was an interesting one at that. I wasn't crazy about flying the A-Wing at first, but it proved to get the job done. I believe it was mission 4, to finish the rebel fleet. That was a tough mission. My flying skills, personally, were not quite up to par, although I can see where it might present a good challenge to a more skilled pilot. All in all this was a good mission. I'm not sure I fully grasp the IW component of it, but it was a good time.
I thought this battle was quite fun! It’s an interesting change of pace to fly Rebel craft for a change. You fly the A Wing for all missions in this battle and, considering that the A wing is the one Rebel craft that I absolutely hate to dog fight, it’s nice to turn the tables for once. I also appreciate the fact that it was rather realistic, as a naval engagement typically starts with a whole hell of a lot of recon followed by multiple small skirmishes, then one huge one that typically decides a battle, and that’s exactly what this was. I know a lot of people hate on it but I love the blow everything to pieces missions, especially when you are in a fast attack craft like an A-wing that is just made for dogfighting. Overall I can find very little to complain about in this battle...job well done by the creator!
Loved it, great mission...the only reason I didn't give it a 5 was due to the use of A-Wings in every single mission...
Very good battle. Solid plot, nice briefings and lots of action. I liked it very much, even though I was flying rebel ships ;)
One of the best battles I have ever played. A great storyline, combined with excellent briefings and fast paced action. Definately worth a 5!!
All around great battle. Huge dogfights, plus the you vs. the world kindof missions, and a flawless storyline. My only problem was that sometimes there were just too many ships to shoot at and my comp slowed down. :)
This battle is well designed and it is really funny to fly. Many fighters and big capital ships to destroy, but really tough one.
Well I could say that this mission is a piece of junk, but then I would be yanking the chains of truth. Although long, this battle is challanging and worthy of the time and effort.
My favorite one... much time spent but it was worth it !
Hmmmm...I flew this one two weeks ago and I still remember how cool it was! I really loved it because the missions are hard and it's possible to win.
How much do I love this battle? Far too much!!!
One of the best battles avaliable! My only complaint is that you are stuck with the A-Wing for the entire battle
Great Battle, The Battle in the middle would have worked better as a climax at the end
A very good Battle! Good storyboard and good missions, although some of them were difficult!
Very good Battle! Has great plot that is implemented well.
