replayability2 negative mentions
  • Engaging and addictive gameplay combining FPV drone flying with fast-paced arcade combat, offering a unique and fun experience for both FPV pilots and gamers.
  • Supports realistic FPV controller input, making it a valuable training tool for improving actual drone flying skills and muscle memory.
  • Well-designed roguelike progression with a large tech tree, diverse weapons, drones, and multiple mission types that keep players motivated to continue playing.
  • Graphics and UI are basic, sometimes clunky, and could use significant polish; menus and controller navigation especially need improvement.
  • Inconsistent difficulty scaling and some gameplay balance issues, including repetitive mission types and occasional frustrating enemy behavior or level design.
  • Technical problems with controller compatibility, crashes, and occasional bugs like getting stuck in environment meshes or lost input calibration.

  • story

    53 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 77% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions

    The story aspect is minimal, with no overarching narrative and missions primarily consisting of varied kill or protection objectives that lack connection or depth. While the roguelike mode offers randomized mission parameters and some mission variety, players find the missions repetitive and sometimes unbalanced in difficulty, leading to a lack of meaningful progression or story engagement. Overall, the game focuses on flight and mission challenges rather than storytelling, which some find engaging for practice but others find frustrating or shallow.

    • “Runs consist of 15 missions of increasing difficulty and varied mission types, which usually equate to "kill x enemy" highlighted in green on the map, or taking on a tough boss.”
    • “The roguelike mission mode is incredibly fun and very compelling considering the limited scope of gameplay at this point.”
    • “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.”
    • “No story, not enough maps or game modes to provide enough variety to make you want to come back and uncover more.”
    • “The missions feel largely similar, with no real difference between enemies or locations, making the gameplay repetitive.”
    • “It's just not fun and there doesn't appear to be any real difficulty curve past the 2nd mission.”

  • gameplay

    44 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 7% negative mentions

    The gameplay is widely praised for its unique blend of fast-paced acrobatic flying and shooter mechanics, delivering a fun and addictive experience with solid flight physics and varied combat styles. While some users note minor floatiness in controls, lack of music, and occasional UI clunkiness, the core mechanics are well-balanced, innovative, and compelling, especially within the roguelike mission mode. Overall, it stands out as a highly enjoyable and polished drone sim with room for refinement.

    • “The gameplay is polished enough to be fun and flowing.”
    • “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.”
    • “The controls feel super fluid and the gameplay loop is rewarding and outright just fun!”
    • “- The progression feels unbalanced with many upgrades having little impact on the gameplay experience.”
    • “- Game mechanics work well but feel a bit floaty compared to other simulators and games now and then.”
    • “- The gameplay does not meaningfully encourage or promote more aggressive dodging playstyles.”

  • graphics

    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    41% positive mentions, 48% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The graphics in the game are generally viewed as basic or outdated, with some players finding them mediocre or cluttered, while others appreciate their smooth performance and suitability for the drone sim arcade style. Though not a standout feature and sometimes criticized for lack of detail or art style preference, the visuals do not significantly detract from the overall fun and immersive gameplay experience.

    • “Absolutely sensational game, in my top 5, the drones feel so realistic (got my drone pilot license IRL). The graphics are superb, could use a little more detail on the guns. The visuals feel powerful and immersive, making boss fights exciting. Amazing work from the devs, truly a top-notch game.”
    • “Performance is excellent (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.”
    • “Detail, graphics and sounds are great and satisfying.”
    • “The graphics look like something from five years ago, even with all settings pushed to the maximum.”
    • “Visuals are cluttered, and I don't really know what I should be looking at.”
    • “However the graphics is just terrible.”

  • optimization

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    Optimization receives mixed feedback: while performance is generally good and satisfying on high-end PCs and maxed-out laptops, some users report FPS drops and clunky controller integration that detract from the experience. Improvements in UI, menus, and better optimization could significantly enhance gameplay, especially on devices like the DJI RC FPV 3 and Steam Deck.

    • “Better UI, menus, and optimization make this a deserved 10/10.”
    • “Great performance and very satisfying flight simulation.”
    • “Performance is excellent; graphics look good, and there's plenty of challenge and unlocks to keep you busy for tens of hours if not longer.”
    • “The optimization and controller implementation for the DJI RC FPV 3 is just as badly handled, making the whole experience feel clunky and badly managed.”
    • “Performance-wise, the game sometimes drops in FPS on M4.”
    • “Speaking of Steam Deck, the performance is okay, but not great.”

  • music

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The game's music receives mixed feedback: while the main menu music is praised for being energizing, many users find it repetitive and annoying, and criticize the lack of dynamic, action-packed music during gameplay. Some appreciate the absence of in-game music to listen to their own tunes, but overall, players desire a more varied and intense soundtrack to enhance immersion and excitement.

    • “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.”
    • “Absolutely sensational game, in my top 5. There is no actual music in the game, which suits me since I can have my own tunes in the background. Amazing work from the devs, who are really active on the Firehawk FPV Discord.”
    • “The same song plays whenever you finish a mission and it's not terrible but it's getting annoying even after my first play session.”
    • “Having some action-packed intense music would go a long way during the actual levels, and non repetitive music at that.”
    • “Also, the main menu soundtrack gets annoying really quickly, and in the game itself there’s no music at all.”

  • humor

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is subtle and occasional, featuring amusing sounds like a laser truck's balancing act, but it lacks overt comedic elements such as explosions or exaggerated numbers that might engage players seeking more lively or chaotic fun.

    • “This game has funny numbers and explosions, ADHD brain happy.”
    • “Sometimes a laser truck does a funny nose balancing act but nothing game breaking.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    Users have mixed opinions on replayability: some find the game offers near-infinite rogue-like replay value, while others feel it currently lacks sufficient content and hope for additions like PvP to enhance replayability.

    • “The above gives you what actually feels like infinite rogue-like replayability.”
    • “For me, the game's replayability isn't there yet.”
    • “Just hope they add more content like PvP or more replayability.”

  • grinding

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game requires effort to obtain equipment but remains balanced and not overly tedious. Players appreciate that the gameplay stays engaging without feeling like a repetitive grind.
