  • story
    64 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally praised for its engaging narrative and well-developed characters, with many reviewers highlighting its unique setting and the emotional depth of the plot.

    • “Excellent story, well-developed characters.”
    • “The story is unique, and I love the way the dogfights are explained. The more important planes have their own gimmicks, and I also love the characters; usually in these books, there's a character I hate interacting with, but not in this one.”
    • “The story is well worth the price.”
    • “The story till that point was not great; I get the protagonist doesn't have a clear head and it's to create a character sheet of some sort, but I'd rather fill in squares directly than that jumbled mess.”

    • “I found a combat-oriented path a bit lacking, and there were some inconsistencies throughout the plot itself.”

    • “I was blown away by its amazing structure and the gameplay.”
    • “The game is overly complicated, making it difficult to enjoy the gameplay without constantly referring to guides.”
