The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of a dedicated campaign mode, leaving players feeling that the experience is repetitive and reliant on online multiplayer dogfights. While some users appreciate the fun and challenging missions available, many express a desire for more immersive, narrative-driven content and co-op campaigns to enhance engagement. Overall, the absence of a structured story mode is seen as a significant shortcoming that detracts from the game's potential.
- “Great gameplay, realistic graphics, real sounds, and stunning storylines make an entertaining game that keeps the player engaged.”

- “A campaign mode with a story would make it 5 stars!”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious, with many expressing frustration over the slow progression required to unlock new aircraft and upgrade parts. The introduction of multiple currencies and time-locked loot boxes has made advancement feel even more burdensome, often necessitating either significant time investment or monetary spending. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, the grinding mechanics detract from the experience and could benefit from a more balanced progression system.
- “What would make this game so much better (and worthy of a 5-star rating!) would be to shave off some of the sheer grinding players have to go through in order to obtain better aircraft.”
- “It was hard enough grinding to get silver and gold to upgrade; now with plane parts, tokens, and blueprints, forget free-to-play grinding. Unless you pay, it's going nowhere.”
- “Game play is good, graphics are nice, but time-locked loot boxes and high advancement costs make progression only possible through massive spending or countless hours of grinding.”
