The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal and lacking depth, often described as a mere tutorial rather than a substantial narrative. Players express a desire for more engaging missions and a cohesive storyline, feeling that the current content is insufficient and resembles a tech demo. Despite these shortcomings, many find the gameplay enjoyable, emphasizing the fun of exploring the open world and utilizing superpowers, though they hope for future updates to enhance the story experience.
“Besides the voice acting and story, this game is amazing!”
“The game is so much fun; the story is good, just everything is good. I think everyone should play it. The only thing it's missing is a multiplayer mode to fight your friends or team up with them to fight the robots, but the game is very good in general.”
“Superfly is a fun game with lots of excitement. It has a huge city for you to climb, fly, or even swing in. There are enemies and missions to make it even better.”
“Mildly entertaining, but there's no story, no real challenge, no real anything actually.”
“It's more of a tech demo than a game at this point as the story is very short.”
“The story mode is mainly races and boss battles.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the fun mechanics and variety of powers, while others find the combat clunky and the overall experience repetitive due to a lack of objectives. The recent enemy update has improved gameplay by introducing new powers and mini-bosses, adding more variety and engagement. Overall, while the mechanics are praised, many feel the game resembles a tech demo and lacks sufficient content to sustain long play sessions.
“But the actual gameplay is amazing and I couldn't recommend it more.”
“My opinions have very much changed in the enemy update; the new powers and enemies add much to the game, as well as a new mini-boss type enemy, giving gameplay a lot more variety. The new enemies added make you use all of your powers and add much more variety in gameplay.”
“Very fun concept done well with smooth mechanics.”
“The combat mechanics are clunky and unreliable; once you unlock all the powers and explore the city, there isn't much else to do that feels worth it.”
“The gameplay loop consists of the following: fly around the world, collect glowing orbs, unlock new powers, destroy robots that occasionally try to kill you, and...that's it, until you run out of powers to unlock.”
“In terms of gameplay, it more resembles that of a tech demo rather than a fully complete, or 'feature complete' game, especially with the price tag.”

“This game is a bit of a mixed bag for me for a number of reasons, mainly being that the game is optimized poorly.”

Adding workshop support could further elevate its replayability potential.

“I think that adding some kind of workshop support would be incredible for replay value, but even without workshop support, this game is such a fun power trip that is worth every penny in my opinion.”
“Also mods, but they aren't needed; it's just that without them, there's way less replayability.”
“It got a good amount of updates that try to bring in more replayability, and it feels like the devs care about their game and try to keep it interesting.”
