The game's campaign is criticized for being a disjointed collection of missions rather than a cohesive narrative, with only 14 missions available (7 for each side) that lack meaningful connections. Players find the setup complicated and express disappointment over the absence of a mission editor and skirmish mode, leading to a feeling of limited replayability. Overall, the campaign feels more like a series of scenarios than a true pilot career experience.
- “Nice to be able to see where your plot is going to take you.”
- “Headquarters hands out the missions and you pick which pilots go on missions.”
- “Perhaps the modeling of planes needs a polish; the campaign is more of a series of scenarios rather than a pilot career and not linked.”
- “The campaign is more of a series of scenarios rather than a pilot career and not linked; once you achieve the mission aim, the game stops and you can't play on; you also don't seem to be able to create, edit, or set up your own games yet.”
- “It is a collection of missions that can be run as a linear campaign but without really any ties from one to the other.”
- “And not enough missions and no skirmish... how can that be at 30 €? Unbelievable.”
