The game's story aspect is minimal, lacking a cohesive narrative or voiceovers, which leads to a repetitive experience across missions. While the missions offer a variety of objectives and randomized parameters, players note that the overall structure can become predictable and frustrating, especially for those new to FPV flying. Despite these shortcomings, the gameplay loop remains engaging, with opportunities for upgrades and skill development, though many players desire more handcrafted missions and a better difficulty balance.
- “The gameplay loop of the main roguelike game mode is pretty addictive, and there's plenty of map and enemy variety plus a lot of unique unlockable gadgets after each mission.”
- “These missions provide a decent variety of objectives and some great terrain to navigate through while you complete them.”
- “Just like some really special, handcrafted missions.”
- “The missions feel largely similar as well, with no real difference between enemies or locations.”
- “After 10 hours (including my time in the demo), I feel I am starting to see patterns in the enemy combinations and mission structures, which is becoming predictable.”
- “I can't recommend this game until the mission system is changed to choose objectives appropriately scaled to your current loadout.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its fun and engaging mechanics, blending elements of arcade action and simulation, particularly in its flying and shooting dynamics. While the core gameplay loop is addictive and offers a variety of guns and styles, some players note issues with loading times, unbalanced progression, and a lack of music that detracts from the overall experience. Despite these flaws, the game is seen as a refreshing addition to the FPV sim genre, with potential for further improvement and polish.
- “The gameplay loop is fun, like an arcade game version of a drone sim, and the aesthetics remind me of mech games I've loved.”
- “Breathes new life into the FPV sim world with innovative dog fighting style gameplay.”
- “The controls feel super fluid and the gameplay loop is rewarding and outright just fun!”
- “The progression feels unbalanced, with many upgrades feeling like they have little impact on the gameplay experience.”
- “The gameplay also does not meaningfully encourage or promote more aggressive 'dodging' playstyles.”
- “The lack of music is very noticeable; this type of gameplay pushes you toward a flow state and would feel a lot better with a high-intensity soundtrack backing it.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the visuals as good and fitting the game's aesthetic, while others criticize the art style as cluttered and lacking detail. Performance is generally smooth, but many users feel that the graphics could be improved, especially for higher-end systems. Overall, while the graphics may not stand out, the engaging gameplay compensates for any visual shortcomings.
- “The gameplay loop is fun, like an arcade game version of a drone sim, and the aesthetics remind me of mech games I've loved.”
- “Absolutely sensational game, in my top 5, the drones feel so realistic (got my drone pilot license in real life) the graphics are superb, could do with a little more detail on the guns in my opinion, speaking of guns, they feel powerful, feels really good taking out a boss with streams of rockets. The time trial events are superb too and a lot to choose from, there's no actual music in the game, which suits me, I can have my own tunes in the background. Amazing work from the devs, who are really active on the Firehawk FPV Discord, all around top-notch game.”
- “Performance is excellent (I mean I have a maxed out laptop but still), graphics look good, and there's plenty of challenge and unlocks to keep you busy for tens of hours if not longer.”
- “Graphically, it doesn't really do much for me personally; I dislike the art style.”
- “Visuals are cluttered, and I don't really know what I should be looking at.”
- “However, the graphics are just terrible.”

Overall, the optimization of the game has received mixed reviews. While some players report satisfactory performance and enjoyable gameplay, others experience issues such as long load times and frame rate drops, particularly on higher-end systems. There is a consensus that performance tweaks are needed to enhance the experience, especially for users with above-minimum specifications.
- “Great performance and very satisfying flight simulation.”
- “Performance is excellent (I mean I have a maxed out laptop but still), graphics look good, and there's plenty of challenge and unlocks to keep you busy for tens of hours if not longer.”
- “Really fun game, and even though the graphics and performance could be way better for the price they’re asking, it’s still a lot of fun and really helps you practice.”
- “I'm above minimum specs (not by a lot but 8GB RAM, a GTX 850M, and an Intel i7 shouldn't take that long to load), so there are definitely performance tweaks that can improve load times and keep it responding on Windows.”
- “Performance-wise, the game sometimes drops in FPS on M4.”
- “I wish the devs made the graphics and performance a bit better on higher-end gaming PCs, but I still had a lot of fun playing it.”

The music aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with many players expressing a desire for more intense and varied soundtracks during gameplay to enhance the experience. While the main menu music is noted for being energizing, it can become repetitive, and the absence of in-game music is seen as a missed opportunity to elevate the overall immersion. Some players appreciate the freedom to play their own music, but overall, a more dynamic audio experience is highly recommended.
- “Put on some hype music in the background and you've got an experience out of this world.”
- “The main menu music gets me absolutely pumped to play.”
- “Gameplay itself seems a little bland only due to the lack of music.”
- “Having some action-packed intense music would go a long way during the actual levels, and non-repetitive music at that.”
- “Also, the lack of music is very noticeable; this type of gameplay pushes you toward a flow state and would feel a lot better with a high-intensity soundtrack backing it.”
