    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting a heavy reliance on advertisements for progression, often feeling pressured to watch ads to earn in-game currency.

    • “Pay to play on top of watching a million ads.”
  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is primarily driven by the need to evolve planes through collecting coins and gems, which can be hindered by a reliance on ads for upgrades and mission completions. While there are numerous missions that enhance engagement, players find the daily missions lack refreshment and face challenges with retrospective quests that do not accommodate maxed-out drones and fighters. Overall, the narrative experience is marred by frustrating mechanics that detract from the enjoyment of progression.

    • “There's a lot of missions, including special ones that make the game more engaging.”
    • “The daily missions are not refreshing.”
    • “From level 2 onwards, I can't complete 'collect all coins' missions... even though I collected all coins.”
