  • graphics
    162 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the low-poly art style and its charm, while others note that the visuals are not as advanced as those found in other flight simulators. Despite some graphical bugs and performance issues, the overall aesthetic and damage models are praised, contributing to an immersive experience. Players express a desire for improved detail and realism, particularly in environments and aircraft models, but many agree that the graphics complement the engaging gameplay.

    • “I love how the low poly graphics nicely fit in this game.”
    • “This game is the pinnacle of indie dogfight games on mobile, great polygonal art style, decent controls, lots of planes, and mostly realistic physics.”
    • “The graphics and atmosphere are excellent.”
    • “Now 3 years later it's got the slowest fps, glitches, graphics failure than ever before!!”
    • “Graphics are washed out when you launch the airfield raid mission; you spawn in the clouds and can't tell what's going on, just awkward brown-gray blobs with no shape or texture that are supposed to be clouds, making orientation nearly impossible.”
    • “The fps drops are bloody insane; just getting near a bomber drops my fps down to 2, even at the lowest settings. I'm on a high-end phone and it's able to run multiple high graphic games with ease, but the planes are also janky, randomly twitching and turning too much.”
  • story
    101 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is primarily centered around its mission-based structure, which players find engaging but lacking in variety and depth. Many reviewers express a desire for more diverse missions, including historical scenarios and additional aircraft options, to enhance the gameplay experience. While the mission creator is praised for its potential, it is often criticized for bugs and limitations, indicating that the overall narrative experience could benefit from more content and improved functionality.

    • “Maps are varied and missions feel well designed.”
    • “The plane designs, the missions you can do, and the two new planes that arrived from the update are amazing to play with.”
    • “Bro, the sim is awesome but the real twist where it comes is the best bombing missions and the best interceptors of the war... this is a true masterpiece for any WWII aviation fan.”
    • “It doesn't have much to do though, like no career, only a few missions, but it does have a quick mission builder like IL-2.”
    • “No tutorials, no control options like tilt or buttons, and few missions.”
    • “The best game that's in the 1900s I've played, but the problem is performance and missions; the missions are very small and this game still has so much potential.”
  • gameplay
    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its realistic mechanics, engaging dogfighting, and a wide selection of aircraft, providing a solid and enjoyable experience. However, players have noted issues with controls being clunky, occasional lag, and some bugs that affect overall performance. While the graphics may not be top-tier, they are often considered acceptable given the game's strong gameplay elements and potential for future improvements.

    • “The mechanics and controls are hard at first, but as you get the hang of it, you'll love it as much as I do!”
    • “The physics, graphics, controls, and mechanics are great, but the planes are a little lacking; adding more planes from the Cold War would enhance the experience.”
    • “The gameplay is good; I never get notified whenever I hit my target or where I have to aim to hit a moving target, but overall, I really like the gameplay and the simple graphics.”
    • “But I have a small problem with the fighter aircraft because they tend to shake and sometimes turn into a death spiral when I try to do a yoyo or other fighter maneuvers. Is this a kind of game mechanic or is it a bug?”
    • “This ruins the gameplay.”
    • “I feel the flight mechanics are a bit strange as to take off wing flaps face downward rather than up while the tail flap correctly faces up. Also, the game freezes after long chasing.”
  • optimization
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has seen significant improvements, with many players noting smoother controls and better performance on newer devices. However, issues persist, particularly for users on low-end smartphones, where lag and frame rate drops remain problematic, especially during intense gameplay scenarios. While the game is praised for its graphics and realism, further optimization is needed to enhance the experience for all players.

    • “The stabilization issue has been fixed and the game's been optimized very well.”
    • “Outstanding attention to detail on other things like the optimal performance of BF 109 at altitude.”
    • “More missions and lots of optimization... best combat flight simulator for 2021... this game has a future.”
    • “Button customization, more optimization, customizable free flight and self-driving pilot is what this game lacks.”
    • “The game's performance drops heavily when a plane is shot down; other than that, the game is overall great.”
    • “Great game, I know it's still new but the game is not optimized and doesn't run well on low-end devices like my Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime. Please optimize the game; I want to play it so bad. The cockpit mode is laggy, and the mission creator lags (4fps) when you add too many AI planes, even on the lowest settings.”
  • stability
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a mixed bag, with numerous users reporting glitches, low frame rates, and buggy controls that can hinder the experience, especially for newcomers. While some players appreciate the realistic gameplay and overall enjoyment, many express frustration over persistent technical issues, including disappearing textures and freezing during gameplay. Despite these challenges, there is optimism for future updates to address these problems.

    • “Real fun, ultra realistic, runs great even on a low-end PC.”
    • “The game runs smoothly without any crashes or glitches.”
    • “I appreciate how stable the gameplay is; it never lags or freezes.”
    • “Now 3 years later it's got the slowest FPS, glitches, and graphics failures more than ever before!”
    • “Some planes have buggy textures; when your fin gets blown off during the bomber airfield raid mission, the plane becomes see-through.”
    • “Each time I play the game, my phone lags and then freezes. Is there a way you can fix this?”
  • monetization
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of this flight simulator is highly praised, as it features no ads and allows players to enjoy the game without spending money. Users appreciate the option to play for free while suggesting that aircraft could be unlocked through ad viewing instead of direct purchases. Overall, the game is seen as a standout in the mobile market for its fair monetization approach and commitment to player experience.

    • “Excellent game, amazing especially for a free mobile game, no ads, great flight and destruction physics and very realistic for what it is.”
    • “Very fun game, aircraft are detailed well and the damage models are good, as of now there are no ads which is fun.”
    • “It's free, there's no ads and it's on par with big games like War Thunder.”
    • “It's really good, but can you make the aircraft unlockable by watching a certain amount of ads instead of buying them individually? That's the only problem I have.”
    • “I wish you could improve it, and I also hope it's a totally free game in the future, which means no purchases or ads. Anyways, thank you!”
    • “Not cluttered with ads and absolutely worth donating to.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by the amusing interactions with other players, particularly the entertaining responses to negative reviews and the comical situations that arise during gameplay, such as the challenges of controlling the aircraft. Players find the absurdity of their experiences, including the quirky character designs and the unexpected mishaps, to be genuinely funny, enhancing their overall enjoyment of the simulator.

    • “I just read some 1-star reviews and that stuff was hilarious! They don't know how to fly; I was in the air first try with 60% flaps, full throttle, and slight lift.”
    • “Also, your replies to 1-star comments are hilarious! Hahaha.”
    • “Game is very good, but I had to download it twice because the first time a drop of water canceled it. My mobile net was 1.35 GB, and I only had 1.50 GB left. When I tried it again, it downloaded, and it was funny! ”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received high praise for enhancing the overall experience, with users highlighting its originality and ability to evoke a strong atmosphere, particularly with tracks like the Battle of Britain theme. However, some players have noted issues with audio settings, suggesting a need for more customization options to manage volume levels effectively. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a significant asset that contributes to the game's immersive quality.

    • “Oh how mistaken I was! This is more than a mobile game; this is a masterpiece with the awesome physics and original music track. It has gone above what I expected.”
    • “I love the fact you added music to the game; it adds a really cool aircraft feeling to it.”
    • “The game is amazing, along with the Battle of Britain theme song.”
    • “I wish I could give this a 4.5 star because this update is pretty cool. My only problem is that the audio settings are just a single tick box for the main menu music, because the game is pretty loud. Other than that, I think it's pretty great.”
    • “The game is amazing along with the Battle of Britain theme song. Also, could you add some bombers along with some bombing missions with the Handley Page Hampden, as well as the Bristol Blenheim and the Vickers Wellington?”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game's potential for replayability, particularly through the ability to create custom missions and the desire for additional content. However, some express a need for improved controls and features, such as a mission pointer, to enhance the experience further.

    • “This game offers incredible replayability with the ability to create your own missions, which keeps the experience fresh and engaging.”
    • “The replayable tutorial for different planes adds a layer of depth, allowing players to refine their skills and try new strategies.”
    • “I love how the game encourages creativity; the option to design custom missions means there's always something new to explore.”
    • “Seriously great game, but the controls are a bit janky. It's pretty hard to aim with the joystick. I hope the developers add more missions and a replayable tutorial for different planes. Additionally, a mission pointer that shows you what to bomb would be amazing, and if possible, make it toggleable (on by default).”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a desire for a more engaging and competitive grinding experience, particularly in acquiring new aircraft and incorporating multiplayer elements to enhance gameplay enjoyment.

    • “The gameplay is enjoyable, but the grinding for new aircraft feels tedious and could use more competitive elements.”
    • “Grinding in this game is a chore; it takes away from the overall fun and excitement.”
    • “I love the concept, but the excessive grinding makes it feel more like a job than a game.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers consistently praise the game's graphics and atmosphere, highlighting them as standout features that enhance the overall experience.

    • “The graphics and atmosphere are excellent.”
