The game's story is relatively short and not deeply developed, but it unfolds through the progression of missions, each culminating in a boss encounter. Players can engage in a variety of mission types, such as attack and rescue, while customizing their helicopters and weapons, which adds a layer of strategy to the gameplay. Although the narrative lacks depth, the campaign's structure and the inclusion of unlockable content provide an enjoyable experience.
- “The main game is a campaign of 30 missions, you mix different kinds of goals (attack, defend, rescue, deliver) with different helicopters and equipment.”
- “On the other hand, we find a short story, not very deep, but each level reveals small details about it, ending with a boss, something I didn't expect to find in this game.”
- “More levels, more helicopters, more scenarios, more and new enemies, more bosses, more weapons, more game modes, even a multiplayer mode, even adding a story, a deeper campaign now with a protagonist and good characters and much more.”
- “Would like a little more options in missions instead of a single path.”

The gameplay is praised for its stunning graphics and engaging mechanics, described as a modern side-scrolling shooter that effectively utilizes VR for depth and perspective. However, the grindy nature of farming for upgrades may be better suited for short play sessions, and some players express a desire for more strategic elements akin to RTS games. Overall, it offers a fun experience, particularly with its innovative use of controls.
- “The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is stupendous and generally breathtaking.”
- “It's a seated + pad experience, but uses the pad in an original and effective way, fitting the gameplay like a glove.”
- “The gameplay itself is a sort of modern defender, a side-scroller shooter, where VR is used to add depth and perspective to the whole.”
- “The grindy nature of the game - which is farming coins to get better weapons and helicopters to be at least competent halfway into the game - better suits small bursts of gameplay while you wait on the bus or something.”
- “The gameplay itself is a sort of modern defender, so a side-scroller shooter, where VR is used to add depth and perspective to the whole.”

- “It's not an awful game, but it gets very repetitive and grindy pretty quickly.”
- “But nope, just more grinding necessary to complete levels.”

monetization

The monetization model is perceived as acceptable for VR, with a $15 price point considered reasonable compared to typical freemium mobile games that rely on in-app purchases.
- “In a flat monitor context, $15 would be too steep (if I'm not wrong, it's freemium on mobile with in-app purchases), but for VR, the standard is different, so it's an acceptable price.”
- “The monetization model feels exploitative, especially with the constant push for in-app purchases that disrupt the gameplay experience.”
- “I find the pricing strategy frustrating; it seems like they prioritize profit over player satisfaction, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
