The gameplay is generally described as engaging and addictive, with a balance of simplicity and challenge that appeals to a wide range of players. However, many reviews highlight issues with core mechanics, clunky interfaces, and frustrating random events that can disrupt the experience. While the game shows potential with its unique concepts and enjoyable mechanics, it requires further refinement and balancing to enhance overall enjoyment.
- “The unique gameplay and easy control deeply appeals to me, even after playing it for multiple hours.”
- “The gameplay is similar to mini motorways and the likes, but it feels more dynamic and interesting - perhaps because you play on the world map and unlock places that are real.”
- “Very well crafted and balanced mechanics, enjoyable interface.”
- “So all 3 game modes are impossible to complete even if you do have the nerves to sit through the 10fps gameplay that freezes for multiple seconds every time you add a new route to the map.”
- “For the really long scenarios, you stop playing the efficient route game and it just becomes spam click red planes and add random routes madness; could really use some manager hiring mechanic that will create a list of the most recent red stuff for you to upgrade.”
- “At this point in the game, despite 'unlock all countries' having been intended as a difficult mode, it is less about skill, planning, and management, than about luck in which countries it forces you to purchase and the events that make or break a run.”

- “Graphics provide an effective visualization of complex systems through straightforward and clean designs.”

- “While the graphics are mediocre at best, and the UI could use some improvements, the gameplay is engaging and surprisingly addicting.”

Fly Corp is praised for its solid replayability, offering a variety of modes and challenges that enhance the experience, particularly with the customizable scenarios and the engaging Ladder mode.

- “I haven't played many custom scenarios yet, but the fact that you can create them can lead to some unique challenges, an impressive degree of customization, and even more replayability.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players expressing frustration over intrusive ads in the mobile version, prompting some to purchase the ad-free PC version.
