The game's story is structured around a campaign featuring 10 missions that span significant historical events from the Battle of Britain to the Fall of Berlin, with additional bonus missions unlocked based on player performance. Players have noted the challenge of completing certain missions, particularly due to a lack of checkpoints, which can lead to repetitive gameplay. Overall, the narrative is engaging, with varied missions that include unique scenarios, such as piloting a bomber and stealing a Nazi plane.
“The campaign has 10 missions from the Battle of Britain to the fall of Berlin. Depending on your performance in the main missions, you will have access to 6 bonus missions.”
“I really loved the bomber plane mission. I was just shooting while a pilot was driving, and suddenly he was shot, and I had to take control of the plane!”
“I suffered a lot with the mission where you steal a reaction plane from the Nazis. It wasn't especially difficult, but it didn't have any checkpoints.”
“Apparently, you can't unlock all of them in a single campaign because some of them come from the same principal mission.”
