So I’m just starting but I seem to have some what ok experience it seems like I don’t know I’m just starting off so new new game. I have to get to a few of the battles and stuff like that to get props and stuff like that for my airplane so kind of challenging so I’ll keep playing the game and see where that takes me so far the game seems to be good. Ok I have played for a while now and find getting other planes if you don’t pay for them are almost none existent the chest you open only give one to five points for a blue print and the planes you fly against are stronger faster better guns so how does this make it fun for the rookies they already struggle just to get parts for the planes they have. And the buy this buy that and it seems to me this is the only way to even remotely be competitive ? So with that said I keep trying and keep loosing so I’m assuming some day in the future I’ll get some kinda plane that just might be able to beat some of these planes . The game is fun don’t get me wrong i in joy it right up to getting killed bad when you have to try and hunt planes that have been shot up and that don’t give many points . Any hoo play see for your self that’s all I have to say …
The gameplay is spot on. However….. unless you have ample $ you won’t be competitive. They won’t even give you the illusion of that possibility. I’m not even sure how much I’ve spent but well over $100 in the last 2wks. Might be twice that. I WAS competitive winning the daily twice. You can’t choose what parts or blueprints you receive from boxes. So getting them for planes you actually want/use is very slow going even if you are spending $. So many forms of currency in the game is also a major drawback. Gold coins, silver coins, trading coins, some purple special coins, on top of the plane parts and blueprints and don’t forget about the power ups. Oh… and some planes come bone stock with only one gun. You have to purchase another one of course and upgrade it like everything else on the plane. You could just buy a plane that comes with like 250 parts with it for like $20 or gold. It comes stock and there isn’t any one thing you could upgrade half way with the 250 parts that come with it. So as it often happens…. All of the best games are hindered by strategically placed currency and parts for upgrades to maximize $ made off of the game. It is still a fantastic game. I just can’t justify the literally thousands of dollars it would take to see it through to the higher levels with everything unlocked. INSERT HERE:(condescending apology for my game experience)
I am a console gamer. I have never really given much thought to app based games that you play on a phone or an iPad. I saved that for little trivia games or things that I can play while sitting in a waiting room or sitting in a line. I saw an advertisement for this game and I am such a flight nut that I thought it looked good enough to take a look at. I play this game a ton. This is definitely the most fun I’ve ever had in an app based game. The ability to get into a squadron with other guys and work towards a common goal is great. It sure would be nice to be able to activate the private chat feature that looks like it was thought about at some point because You have an inbox. It would also be great to be able to have some type of matchmaking system where you can actually get into battles with your squadron teammates, instead of just a random smattering of people. I have definitely thrown a few dollars into this game because like most of these games I’m learning you do pay to rank things up and more quickly but it’s not 100% necessary. You can slog through and not pay a dime if you wish. The new update allows you to rank planes up based on your amount of activity with them instead of just blind luck, which is nice. Bottom line if you like flight battles, I would definitely play this game.
As I wait for the status of my previous account, I have started a new account to see what goesOn. Sadly, despite the numerous reviews expressing the same deficiencies, Rortos chooses to repeatedly respond with a comment that sounds like all players need is a little counseling and they will realize the beauty of the game. Yes, Rortos, it IS a beautiful game. But just as the gingerbread house was beautiful in HANZEL & GRETEL, the problem lies in the management of the place and the final objective. You do Not have to give everything away, but making people pay THREE TIMES for the same plane severely limits your customer base. When AOL was thriving , Air Warriors had Five (5) theaters running simultaneously, each with a capacity of 525 players. And there were MANY TIMES I had to wait to get in one of them to play! You could play for free in the learning area, and many upgrades were available. When you paid for a new plane you got the whole plane! No parts, then blueprints, etc . and no waiting days to get all the pieces needed. When a customer wants to buy you sell him the item right then! Otherwise the buying impulse dissipates . That is sales and marketing 101(b). So, The masses of accounts that have written in constructive criticism reply with, :”When YOU are ready to step up and have happy players AND a more lucrative business, we are here to help you.” Just contact us and we will explain ro you.
The gameplay itself is pretty good overall, though the aircraft feel like they aren’t agile enough. Graphics are what you’d expect for this kind of game, which I suppose is a good thing. There are a couple issues with the game that severely take away from its enjoyability. First of all is that progression takes an annoyingly long amount of time. It might make sense if as you got into the higher, more advanced tiers of aircraft it would become longer and harder to get better planes, but NOPE! Right from the start, it’s an absolute drag to get new planes - which ties in to the next issue with the game: the matchmaking. The matchmaking is terrible, with it being my experience that you are constantly put up against people who are way better than you. While you’re still flying around in some dinky little biplane that barely saw service before being replaced by its successors, your enemies are running circles around you in better aircraft, with better technology, because they’ve clearly been playing the game longer and have more experience. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have played at least ten matches since my last victory. Just loss after loss after loss, because of the matchmaking. The game CAN be fun, but the two problems that I’ve been yapping about make it REALLY REALLY REALLY DIFFICULT to actually have fun playing this.
A decent game that has far more potential than anything else. The I-15 WWI biplane is the only plane that flies remotely similar to real life. All of the WW2 planes are forced to turn so slow that they are incredibly irritating to fly. The trade off is supposed to be increased speed. But unfortunately, the implementation is so poor it doesn’t work. The only benefit is essentially higher DPS. This is due to the fact that climbing drains your speed so quickly that you can’t take advantage of the higher speed. Bombers are very armored and take a long time to kill. Which wouldn’t be an issue, except for the fact that they are also very strong. I find myself dying more to them than enemy fighters. The range of their guns coupled with the inability to climb efficiently whatsoever means they will often times try to chase you down. Until this gets addressed, the game is pretty boring. You have basically fighters and armored fighters with bombs. This obviously makes not a whole lot of sense. I have no issue with their health, but they should be more reliant on their friendly fighters to escort them. The lock on mechanic means if you know what you’re doing you’ll routinely get 7-10 kills a match. There is no way to evade shots. You simply have to avoid getting an enemy on your six. All in all, the game is fun for a few hours. But then you get pretty frustrated with the many different flaws. 5.5/10
Been playing this game for a while now and it started off absolutely amazing! I enjoyed playing it and the rewards/chests for winning were plentiful. Now, not so much! The rewards/chests have been reduced to almost worthless levels, it’s ridiculous! 99% of the parts I get aren’t even for any of the planes I’m using, which makes trying to upgrade any of my planes take forever! the silver rewards are pretty bad as well. The worst part has become the battles, they have just become stupid! The bot planes are ridiculous! They’re abilities must be cranked up to maximum! When I am shooting at one of them it takes a minimum of three+ reloads before anything happens, and then they will just turn on a dime and I can’t even think about chasing them because my plane is like a tugboat! and then one just magically appears behind, who wasn’t there two seconds before that when I looked at the radar, and shoots me down with what seems like two freaking bullets! Sorry that’s just stupid! I’ve watched control points on the radar map change from blue to red with no enemy planes even remotely close to it! Really! Sorry I just feel like it’s really gone down hill and hope this triggers some changes, I don’t want to sound like I feel that I need to win every time, that’s not it at all, but at least make it more realistic when it comes to battling.
Let me be clear, I like the gameplay in this game. It’s fun. But there are two fatal flaws that have me deleting the game in frustration. First, I get login errors during startup - these can be canceled for a while, but after about a week on average the game just stalls on startup (during login) and you cannot proceed. The only remedy seems to be to delete and reinstall the game. After about 50 reinstalls, I’m done. Sent messages to the devs, and they’re telling me me to try a different internet connection - no questions about connection type, speed, error message, error log files, OS version, &c, anything they could use to diagnose a problem, and so I have to conclude that they have no interest or intention of diagnosing or fixing the problem. Secondly, every time they update the game, they make it harder and harder to progress in the game. New planes or plane upgrades that used to take hours or days are now entirely out of reach. To progress, you have to play their special events, watch for specials, or pay outrageous amounts of actual money. I’m willing ( and have) thrown a few bucks their way, but costs for a single plane, in its completely basic non-upgraded and so useless state, of almost $100? For a game on your phone? If you want anything new you have to stop playing the game and start gaming the play. No thanks.
