The game's story revolves around a Russian invasion of Iceland, where players control a group of six pilots and engage in missions that impact the territory's defense. While the concept of managing multiple pilots and customizing mission plans adds depth, the execution suffers from a lack of engaging narrative and frustrating gameplay mechanics, leading to mixed reviews on its overall storytelling effectiveness. Despite some immersive elements, many players find the story underwhelming and the campaign mechanics cumbersome.
“It does bring something new to the aircraft game genre in that you control several individual pilots at the same time, in real time, while also experiencing a somewhat interesting story through news broadcasts on the remote island of Iceland.”
“The campaign mechanics are very interesting; you control a group of 6 pilots in Iceland during a Russian invasion (Tom Clancy style). You can choose a pilot to control and switch to another pilot at any moment, which is useful because there are simultaneous missions.”
“Successful missions beat back the Russian forces one territory at a time.”
“The game doesn't have a story of any kind, which isn't expected from a flight simulator, but I still feel the need to bring it up for potential buyers.”
“Graphics are terrible, you're not sure what you are doing (mostly when asked to choose 6 pilots...) then you have to wait for one to have a mission, got debriefed before you can start piloting some weirdly unresponsive aircraft.”
“I wish it would look better and didn't have that interface so we got to choose how we want to play instead of random missions we're allowed to drop in; I wish I could recommend it, but I just can't.”

The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their outdated quality, reminiscent of 90s titles, with many users noting issues such as low resolution, graphical errors, and a lack of polish. While some appreciate the nostalgic feel, others find the visuals to be shoddy and detrimental to the overall experience, with specific complaints about blurry cockpit graphics and crashes related to graphic settings. Overall, the consensus leans towards the graphics being a significant drawback, overshadowing the gameplay.
“Although it uses the engine from Did's Wargasm, which played down close to the ground, Eurofighter's graphics look every bit as good as those of Did's past flight sims.”
“Don't worry about the dated graphics - the gameplay is what makes this.”
“The graphics reminded me of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere.”
“No voices in cutscenes, shoddy graphics and graphical errors (planes flying through mountains)”
“The internal cockpit graphics are blurry and low-res against the detailed terrain.”
“Also, the graphics are on par with a Win98 game.”

The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some praising its interesting campaign mechanics and the ability to control multiple pilots during simultaneous missions, while others criticize its complexity and a cryptic user interface that may deter players. Additionally, the game’s realism and streamlined mechanics may not satisfy hardcore flight simulation enthusiasts, and issues with missile accuracy and control methods have been noted. Overall, while the gameplay has potential, it may require a steep learning curve for some players.

“The campaign mechanics are very interesting; you control a group of 6 pilots in Iceland during a Russian invasion (Tom Clancy style). You can choose a pilot to control and switch to another pilot at any moment, which is useful because there are simultaneous missions. This can be overwhelming at first but is simple.”
“The gameplay is a little complicated in my opinion, even after reading the manual. The success rate of the guided missiles is low even against non-moving targets. It is possible to control the fighter with the mouse, but I think this is too inconvenient in the dogfight, and in addition, you don't have rudder control.”
“But unless you want to learn the gameplay the hard way, this game isn't for you.”
“Gameplay is hidden beneath a cryptic user interface.”
