The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users describing them as reminiscent of outdated flash games from the early 2000s.

- “Graphics are kind of 'okay', but reminds me of the mid 90's shareware games, even the GIF archives online... one of the stages is distracting in this way.”
- “The HD in the title looks like a mockery, because it looks like a flash game and the same graphics could be achieved way back in the early 00s, even before the 2003 release from the trailer.”

The story in the game is minimal and revolves around a straightforward mission to destroy enemy buildings and defeat bosses, lacking depth or complexity. Players engage in repetitive tasks with little narrative progression, culminating in a simplistic cutscene celebrating the protagonist's achievements. Overall, the storyline serves primarily as a backdrop for the gameplay rather than a compelling narrative experience.

- “Patton, Rommel, Montgomery?... we want to know the story behind him!”
- “There isn’t any complicated story either; basically, there is a guy who keeps coming to certain cities to bomb them, while he takes off from hidden places where usually a gate opens and the aircraft comes out to take off. In the end, a cutscene appears with him and his five aircraft being happy, while a ton of fireworks explode in the sky in the background.”
