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 appreciate the variety of missions, including challenging scenarios like piloting a bomber and stealing a Nazi aircraft, though some express frustration with the lack of checkpoints in certain missions. Overall, the narrative offers a mix of engaging gameplay and historical context, but the requirement to replay missions for bonus content can be tedious.
“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 the bonus missions in a single campaign because some of them come from the same principal mission.”
“I attempted several times to get beyond the 'training' mission...to no avail.”
“So, you have no choice but to fly the training mission...over and over.”
