The game's story revolves around joining the "rogue aces" to liberate islands from "the baron" and his forces, but the rogue-like structure results in missions that feel less impactful. Players engage in a series of short, progressively challenging missions involving aerial combat and ground attacks, guided by a humorous commanding officer. While the single-player campaign offers unlockable content and a variety of mission objectives, the overall narrative lacks depth due to its repetitive nature.
- “The mission objectives, given to you by your funny commanding officer, are very simple and consist of destroying enemy planes, airships, ships, buildings, soldiers, or vehicles.”
- “However, the 'rogue-like' nature of the game means that none of the missions feel particularly meaningful.”
- “The basic story is that you have joined a group called the 'Rogue Aces' and your job is to liberate some islands from 'the Baron' and his army.”
- “In the single player campaign (additional campaign and arcade modes can be unlocked), you start your fighter plane from an aircraft carrier and fly missions against the enemy.”
