One of the few flight combat games for handheld devices, Freedom Wings from Natsume includes an automatic mode for beginners and a manual mode for advanced fighter pilots. Taking place in the South Sea islands where aircrafts are a necessity for travel, players are part of the Air Patrol Association and are charged with eliminating airborne pirates terrorizing paradise. When players are not disposing of the dishonest dogfighters, they can catch up on gossip in the café, run sub-missions, or purchase upgrades for their lean, mean, flying machine. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide
