- Unique strategy game that simplifies traditional RTS mechanics, making it accessible and easy to learn.
- Engaging sound design and pleasing graphics contribute to an enjoyable atmosphere.
- Skirmish mode offers varied tactics and is more enjoyable than the campaign, providing a fun way to spend time.
- Campaign becomes repetitive and frustrating due to overwhelming enemy numbers and ineffective infantry units.
- Units, especially infantry, die too quickly, leading to a lack of strategic depth and reliance on powerful units.
- Game suffers from poor pathfinding and balance issues, making gameplay feel sluggish and unresponsive.

The gameplay is praised for its simple yet effective air mechanics and strategic elements, allowing players to easily grasp the mechanics while still offering depth. The atmosphere and sound design enhance the experience, contributing to an engaging and enjoyable gameplay loop. Players appreciate the discoverable features that lead to rewarding "aha" moments during play.
“The air mechanic is simple, sweet, and rational. Targeting or flight planning to avoid missing a target was a discoverable feature not indicated, but you sort it out with an 'aha' moment.”
“I like the atmosphere, I like the gameplay, the sound design is quite impressive, and the game does a great job maintaining a strategic play style while also simplifying it so that others can get the hang of it.”

The story is criticized for its repetitive nature, largely due to a gameplay style that encourages players to rely on a limited number of powerful units, which detracts from the overall experience. While there are elements that players may enjoy, the narrative lacks a strong villain or opposing force, making it feel less engaging and dynamic.
“Has a lot you will like, but may not have enough of a villain or opposing force for the storyline. It just seems that way.”
“This 'meat-grinder' style forces you to ditch most of your units and just stick to the most powerful and well-armored, which is a shame and makes missions seem more repetitive than they otherwise would.”
