Reviews
- The game offers pure adrenaline arcade-style air combat fun with intense dogfights and somewhat realistic physics adjustments.
- The developer is responsive to feedback and actively fixes bugs and glitches, improving the game post-release.
- Graphics and audio are decent with realistic plane models and functional cockpit view, making the gameplay immersive.
- Flight controls are awkward, non-intuitive, and lack customization options, causing a frustrating experience for many players.
- Mouse input sensitivity is tied to graphics settings with no inversion or fine tuning, making control difficult especially in external views.
- Limited mission variety with repetitive levels and confusing targeting indicators, plus no joystick support or configurable key bindings.
story
7 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is minimal and mainly serves as a brief mission briefing, with little clarity or depth in the backstory. The focus is on jumping into the action rather than narrative, unlike the demo of a related title which features more engaging cutscenes and heavier aircraft. Recent updates have added a few more short missions, but overall the story remains sparse and secondary to gameplay.
“There seems to be a backstory which isn't fully clear, but the game mainly focuses on jumping straight into the action.”
“Minimal mission briefing is all you get as background story, unlike the demo for their latest iteration called Massive Air Combat, which features a nice cutscene and lets you fly a heavier aircraft. However, since it's a demo, you only get to play one mission.”
“Since the 2.20 update, there are 3 additional missions, making a total of 6 missions.”
