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 express frustration over the presence of frequent ads, particularly after missions, and the existence of microtransactions for unlocking certain planes, leading to concerns about the game's fairness and potential pay-to-win elements.

- “It's very good for a mobile arcade game, and the in-app purchases are very reasonable.”
- “It's unfortunate that some planes are locked away with microtransactions.”
- “Hits you with ads after every mission, upgrading your planes actually makes them weaker and slower not stronger and faster, this game is a scam for money and to sell your email information which if you don't give them your email they will perpetually ask any time you open the game and sometimes right after an ad, this game and others like it need to be removed from the Play Store.”
- “Too many ads and bogus app.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience. While some enjoy the challenge and feel it's worth the effort, many criticize the repetitive nature of missions and the slow accumulation of gold, which can lead to frustration, especially when real money is involved for upgrades. Overall, the grind can detract from the enjoyment, particularly for those looking to progress without spending additional money.
- “The game is not very grindy if you focus on getting new planes instead of upgrading old ones.”
- “Grinding in this game feels rewarding, as each level up brings a sense of accomplishment.”
- “I appreciate how the grinding mechanics are balanced, allowing for progress without feeling tedious.”
- “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.”
