The gameplay is generally praised for its satisfying mechanics and engaging loop, appealing to a wide range of players with its intuitive controls and balance. However, some users note issues with clunky interfaces, random events that can disrupt progress, and a need for more depth and refinement in core mechanics. Overall, while the game shows potential and offers fun management gameplay, it still requires significant improvements to enhance the player experience.
- “The gameplay is balanced and there are many ways to achieve the right result that keeps the game progressing.”
- “The unique gameplay and easy controls deeply appeal to me, even after playing it for multiple hours.”
- “The fast-paced gameplay makes it super addicting, and there is plenty of replayability.”
- “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.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, described as good, relaxing, and enhancing the gameplay experience without being intrusive.

- “Later you pay to level up a city again and again and add planes to routes or create new routes all while listening to this second-hand Tropico 3 music.”

Overall, the game offers significant replayability through custom scenarios, various challenges, and modes that enhance gameplay depth. While some players desire more randomness to further increase replay value, many appreciate the existing content and the satisfying mechanics that keep them engaged. However, a few users feel that replayability diminishes after completing all scenarios and achievements.
- “Fly Corp offers a balanced price point considering the depth and replayability it provides.”
- “Setting a certain time limit to unlock nearby countries that steadily increases in difficulty is so satisfying, and the somewhat random factor as to how it plays out gives it a decent heap of replayability.”
- “Even though it's only 8 dollars, it is a game that is packed with content and replayability, especially in freeplay mode.”
- “However, I feel like there is no real replayability after completing all scenarios and getting all the achievements.”
- “Even though it's only 8 dollars, it is a game that, one, is packed with content and replayability, especially in freeplay mode, and two, it is the airline game I have been scouring the internet for probably the better part of a year now.”
- “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.”
