The game's story revolves around joining the "rogue aces" to liberate islands from "the baron" and his forces, featuring a series of short, randomized missions that lack depth due to the rogue-like structure. Players engage in straightforward objectives like dogfights and ground attacks, guided by a humorous commanding officer, while progressing through a single-player campaign and unlocking additional modes. Overall, the narrative serves as a backdrop for the gameplay rather than a compelling storyline.
- “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.”
