music2 positive mentions
stability1 negative mentions
  • Fun and arcade-style dogfighting gameplay that is easy to learn and enjoyable, especially with a controller.
  • Clean, colorful, and pleasing graphics with a unique art style that complements the arcade feel.
  • Includes local co-op mode that enhances the experience, making it a great game to play with a friend.
  • Single-player campaign is repetitive, shallow, and often feels like a grind to progress with little depth.
  • Online multiplayer is broken or unplayable, and online co-op advertised is missing or non-functional.
  • Lack of meaningful new content or innovation compared to the first game; many elements feel recycled.

  • story

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    21% positive mentions, 58% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The story in the game is primarily conveyed through static comic book-style cutscenes with limited in-mission narrative, resulting in a somewhat shallow and repetitive campaign centered on American volunteer pilots. While the addition of named characters and a narrator adds some personality, the voice acting and art style mismatch detracts from the experience. Overall, the story is serviceable but uninspiring, with gameplay grind overshadowing narrative depth.

    • “The story is alright and the comic style cinematics are not bad at all.”
    • “Underrated title, a dogfight first world war game with different types of missions, an American comic style story and clean graphics. You can play co-op and even online, but the singleplayer mode is enough for me to recommend it.”
    • “The game pretty much retains all of the previous game's content whilst forgoing the British/German campaigns from the first game for a 30 mission campaign centered around the American volunteer pilots of the Lafayette Escadrille, with a few new appropriate planes to boot.”
    • “There are some static, comic book style cutscenes with dialogue, but in-mission, there is effectively no real story... just wave clearing.”
    • “Providing slightly more of a cast of named characters for the story and some personality to the main narrator is good, but that voice doesn't match the art and made me dislike the comic book story sections.”
    • “Newer and better planes are also progression-locked behind completion of certain missions in the campaign, adding to the rinse-repeat grind.”

  • gameplay

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The gameplay is smooth and visually pleasing but relies heavily on repetitive, shallow mechanics that lack depth. While fun and enjoyable enough, it offers limited variety and requires grinding through campaigns to access better content, leading to a somewhat monotonous experience. Overall, it's a good value on sale but could benefit from more content and updates.

    • “The gameplay is smooth and the graphics are pleasing.”
    • “Overall, the game is a steal on sale with great gameplay and visuals but kinda lacking in content; would love to see updates to this title.”
    • “Gameplay is fun.”
    • “The general simple set of mechanics might seem fine, but what you have to do to get there is also way too simple.”
    • “The game feels shallow as you have to grind through campaign missions before you can enjoy better planes and higher-spec skills, making the mechanics feel repetitive.”
    • “There is simply nothing deep to experience; the mechanics you encounter in the first 5 minutes are literally all the game has to offer on repeat.”

  • graphics

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, -20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The graphics are praised for their clean, unique, and cartoony art style that complements the arcade feel and gameplay well. Reviewers find the visuals pleasing and fitting, enhancing the overall experience despite some content limitations.

    • “The graphics and art style are pretty cool and unique.”
    • “The gameplay is smooth and the graphics are pleasing.”
    • “Underrated title, a dogfight first world war game with different types of missions, an American comic style story, and clean graphics.”
    • “A real shame because the cartoony art style goes so well with the arcade feel.”
    • “Overall, the game is a steal on sale with great gameplay and visuals but kinda lacking in content, would love to see updates to this title.”
    • “Underrated title, a dogfight first world war game with different types of missions, an American comic-style story and clean graphics, you can play co-op and even online but the singleplayer mode is enough for me to recommend it.”

    The music in the game is well-received, contributing positively to the overall sound design and enhancing the immersive experience. It complements the gameplay and combat, particularly making co-op play enjoyable.

    • “Even though I have various problems with this game, if you can get it for cheap and for co-op, it's a fun time; the abilities, sound design, music, and general feel and combat for the planes range from good to great.”
    • “The music is really good.”

  • stability

    Users criticize the game's monetization for misleading advertising, particularly highlighting the absence of promised online co-op features, which is seen as a significant oversight.
