History Edit

Wargaming's plan to develop a flight combat MMO action game was first conceived during the early stages of World of Tanks’ development. World of Warplanes was announced at E3 in 2011,[2] less than two months after the World of Tanks release in Europe and North America.[3] Development was assigned to Persha Studia,[4] the Kiev-based development center of Wargaming.

The game went from concept to a playable prototype in only two months. Early alpha testing began August 2011.[5]

Wargaming showcased the first public World of Warplanes trailer[6] at Gamescom in August 2011.[7] Wargaming first showed a closed demonstration of the alpha version to journalists at the Igromir Expo in October 2011.[8]

American aircraft were the first planes to be added[9] to the World of Warplanes tech tree.

World of Warplanes alpha test started recruiting test players on February 23, 2012.[10] World of Warplanes closed beta test began May 30, 2012.[11] The game received over two million applications within the first three months of testing.[12]

World of Warplanes was selected as Europe’s "Most Wanted Online Game" at the European Games Awards in 2012.[13]

On April 4, 2013, the non-disclosure agreement was lifted for the beta test players,[14] allowing beta testers to share their thoughts, screenshots, and in-game videos. At that time, the game offered six battle arenas and over 80 aircraft models from USSR, USA, Germany, and Japan. World of Warplanes’ open beta testing started on July 2, 2013.[15][16]

Gameplay Edit

In this game, players can check out "Land of Ooo locales, talk to characters, sharpen their creative puzzle-solving skills, defeat bad guys and just have fun." Loosely based on the TV show's sixth season, the game features "a focus on exploring, investigating, and puzzle-solving. Thanks to the discovery of an assignment printing machine called the 'tickertype,' Finn and Jake decide to become detectives like Joshua and Margaret (Finn and Jake’s parents). Finn's sword will see a bit of action too, allowing [players] to fill the Tree House treasure room full of enemy drops."[2]

Reception Edit

It has a score of 66% on Metacritic.[4] Nintendo Life awarded it a score of 7 out of 10, saying "While it might prove too basic for more advanced players, younger players and families should have a fun time questing with dog and human. Big fans of the show, of course, should not feel so afraid to give this one a try, either."[5] Nintendo World Report awarded it a score of 7 out 0f 10, saying "By default, I feel as if this is the best Adventure Time video game so far. It’s not perfect, and it’s a little on the easy side, but as an Adventure Time fan, it made me smile." [6]
