The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and variety, with many players noting that missions become repetitive and monotonous over time. While the graphics and gameplay mechanics are praised, the absence of a cohesive narrative or campaign mode leaves players feeling disconnected from the experience, leading to a desire for more engaging storylines and mission diversity. Suggestions for improvement include adding historical missions, character development, and a more structured campaign to enhance the overall narrative experience.

- “The game is good, but the concept is very lame; all missions are quite the same and repairing costs are a problem.”
- “It's only just the storyline; it's not even there, it's just pointless dogfighting and destruction.”
- “The game has excellent graphics and great controls, but the missions are long and boring.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the limited and non-intrusive nature of ads, which are often optional and provide in-game rewards. However, some users have expressed frustration over occasional intrusive ads that can freeze the game, as well as the presence of microtransactions for unlocking certain content. Overall, while the game is generally seen as fair in its monetization approach, there are concerns about the balance between ads and gameplay experience.
- “I loved it, but it would be awesome if auto-pilot was added for when I switch to tail gunner. The pilot could take care of the front while I defend my rear. Other than that, I really have no complaints at all. This game is great, and yeah, there are some in-app purchases, but it's not a pay-to-win game. I got all the planes without paying a single dollar; the game provides more than enough and also makes it harder.”
- “There are almost no ads.”
- “Good game... no ads in between while playing.”
- “It's unfortunate that some planes are locked away with microtransactions.”
- “This otherwise great game has 'aggressive' advertising; by 'aggressive', I mean that some ads literally force the player out of the game (after finally getting out of the 'hard sell'), one has to restart the game, without any 'rewards'.”
- “Could be a great game except all the ads and it keeps crashing while playing the ads.”

- “It is a very fun game and the only thing I don't like is that it glitches a lot, but other than that, it's a very fun game.”

grinding
5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the limited gold rewards from missions and the reliance on real money for upgrades. Many feel that the grind becomes increasingly burdensome as they progress, requiring excessive playtime to earn enough resources for meaningful upgrades, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “Though there are flaws as well, because the longer you play, the more grindy it gets as you always only get 15 gold from missions.”
- “The whole upgrade system with pilots and exchanging different resources and having to build stuff is tedious and an annoying way to make it freemium.”
- “Will be a great game if developers were not so avaricious and if they included AI, which is currently lacking. Gold farming is much more difficult; you need to play 20-30 times if you want to buy a mid-tier fighter and another 20-30 just to upgrade it. The best planes go to the premium.”

- “It's a very fun and replayable game, but putting half of the customization for the planes behind a paywall is just goofy.”
- “There are more playable scenarios available.”
- “The game lacks diverse scenarios, making it feel repetitive after the first playthrough.”
- “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to replay it.”
