### 3/5 — Could use a Rebalance

*2026-01-01, version 1.3.10*

Meiler is just impossible. Müller was tough but beatable; the fight with Meiler punishes your very existence. The first mistake you make in that boss fight, Meiler runs you right over. It stops being fun at that point. I dare say he's the reason most people don't finish Night Over Europe; Meiler is just one poorly designed battle mechanic after another after another.

### 3/5 — そこそこ😮

*2023-02-05*

モバイル向けなら楽しいです。作り込みがやや甘い。😕

### 3/5 — Good at first

*2022-10-22, version 1.3.10*

This game will not stop deleting my progress.

### 2/5 — Steuerung problematisch

*2020-06-02*

Spielt man das Spiel mit einem nimbus Gamepad, dann ist die oben/unten Steuererung vertauscht. Drückt man auf dem Gamepad in Richtung oben, dann bewegt sich das Flugzeug nach unten und umgekehrt. Total nervig :(

Schade eigentlich, weil das Spiel ansonsten einen guten Eindruck macht.

### 3/5 — Top, aber......

*2019-05-21*

Gibt es irgenwann neue Levels?

### 3/5 — 70 рублей

*2017-12-18*

Сняли 70 рублей , а не 15 !!!

### 2/5 — Controls don't work

*2015-12-18, version 1.3.7*

It would probably be good if when u pressed up, the plane went up, instead of down. I tried turning the iPad around (doesn't help)

### 4/5 — iCloud Sicherung!

*2014-12-07*

Alles gut, bin im letzten Level, aber bei einem Umzug auf iPhone 6 sind alle Daten weg. (Kein Komplett Backup gewollt) 
Wenn man Sachen gekauft hätte und diese verliert ist es echt schade.

### 4/5 — Super jeu

*2014-09-29*

Aucun problème sur iPhone 5 mais incompatible avec le 6 c'est dommage car c'est vraiment prenant

### 2/5 — Just don't ...

*2014-04-13, version 1.3.4*

Can't believe I actually paid real money for this 😱
Being a new game I stupidly thought this may be at least half decent.
I was wrong.
Avoid!

### 2/5 — Achievements don't work

*2014-02-03, version 1.3.4*

Decent game, brings back memories if 1942. Fun enough to play although it is not very deep. Ship upgrades are very easy to obtain and most levels you will conquer in one try. The bosses are more difficult and and some will take a few tries. Biggest issue is that the achievements do not work proper, you complete them but do not gain pts.

### 4/5 — No sound

*2014-01-16, version 1.3.4*

It's a good game but I get no sound.

### 1/5 — NÃO ABRE NO IOS 8.0

*2014-10-03*

Acho que alguns jogos deviam vir com algo dizendo que ele ainda não está preparado para rodar no sistema operacional 8! Pk é uma palhaçada gastar dinheiro e só depois descobrir que não abre!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2014-01-06, version 1.3.4*

I can't even try the game! It loads to the first screen and then crashes! I paid for this so it would be nice if you guys could fix it so I can actually use it. So far my money has been wasted.

### 5/5 — This is so peak

*2026-01-23, version 1.3.10*

This is honestly my most favorite game that I have ever played before, I first started playing this game when I was like 9 years old and this game still remains like a banger.

I just really wish that you guys add like more pilots, enemies, bosses to the game because this is so freaking awesome and I just really love this game, absolutely a masterpiece for sure.

### 5/5 — Einwandfrei

*2024-09-17*

Habe das Spiel vor einigen Jahren schon auf dem Nokia 920 durchgespielt. Mit dem iPad Air 5 macht es noch mehr Spaß.

### 5/5 — Игра из детства!

*2022-07-15*

Черт возьми! Это же игра из конца нулевых на телефоны! Я уже думал, что никогда в нее не поиграю…
Это игра из того времени, когда они абсолютно все были «хардкорными», как пишут в отзывах, по сравнению с современными неинтересными и скучными играми в одно касание на экране.

### 5/5 — Sehr Spassreich

### 5/5 — iOS 8 update

*2014-10-17, version 1.3.7*

Really glad to have AoL up and running again, but with the update, there are a few music bugs as well as screen bugs. Hope you can fix these. Either way, the game is still pretty awesome
