The game's story revolves around a military campaign set in Iceland during a Russian invasion, where players control a group of six pilots in real-time, allowing for dynamic mission planning and execution. While the narrative is enhanced by news broadcasts, the experience is marred by technical issues and a steep learning curve, with players often finding the AI pilots' antics both frustrating and entertaining. Overall, the immersive missions and customizable gameplay elements contribute to a unique, albeit flawed, storytelling experience in the aircraft game genre.
“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. This can be overwhelming at first but is simple.”
“Very immersive missions, soundtrack, and music.”
“They are horrendously stupid, and keeping them alive through all those easy missions that happen in between the boring (and barely accelerable) downtime is the real thrill of the game.”
“Campaign crashes - old game, no fix - got into a couple of hours, didn't fail any missions - Operation Sea Monster - keeps crashing - uninstalled and reinstalled, doesn't seem to work.”
“No quick mission mode; the learning curve is very long.”

The graphics are reminiscent of classic 90s titles, comparable to games like Ace Combat 2 and Delta Force, with a style that aligns with Windows 98-era visuals. While some may find the graphics dated, the focus remains on gameplay, which is considered the standout feature. Overall, the graphics evoke nostalgia but may not meet modern standards.
“The graphics remind me of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere.”
“I have to be frank, though, the graphics are reminiscent of classic 90s games like Ace Combat 2 or that Delta Force shooter game, somewhat on par with Counter-Strike 1.6, and it features a combination of real-time strategy and semi-arcade flight simulator elements.”
“Don't worry about the dated graphics - the gameplay is what makes this.”

The gameplay is engaging and offers a unique campaign experience where players control a group of six pilots during a Russian invasion in Iceland, allowing for real-time switching between characters during simultaneous missions. However, some users find the mechanics a bit complicated, particularly with the low success rate of guided missiles and the inconvenient mouse controls during dogfights, which lack rudder control. Overall, while the gameplay is praised for its depth, it may present a learning curve for some players.

“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 dogfights, and in addition, you don't have rudder control.”

“I managed to get it to work for a few hours of gameplay, but it wasn't very engaging.”
