Unfortunately, the port gets off to a rough start right from the beginning.

Several well known real world locations are included in the various game maps. Controls have been updated to reflect the Switch’s use of actual controllers rather than virtual controls, although motion controls are still an available option. Originally released on iOS, Sky Gamblers: Afterburner is touted as a graphically improved port of the mobile games. To accomplish their mission, the Sky Gamblers will employ a variety of high tech aircraft “inspired” by real-world aircraft. SG:A takes place in a fictional near future where the Sky Gamblers team – a cadre of elite pilots who take on the most dangerous missions around – is tasked with bringing a rogue admiral to justice, along with his nuclear capable battle fleet, and the shadowy cabal behind the admiral’s defection. Most previous entries have been confined to iOS mobile devices, with the notable exception being 2012’s Sky Gamblers: Storm Raiders which eventually saw a Steam release on PCs. Sky Gamblers: Afterburner marks the console debut of the series. Such is the case with Sky Gamblers: Afterburner, a high flying jet combat game from Atypical Games.

Often that void gets filled by more indie games. The Nintendo Switch marked major changes in Nintendo’s support for small developers, but for some genre fans, the little console/handheld hybrid that could is always going to be missing some big name titles.
