Also increase the reward per mission please. Another suggestion is to allow us to choose what ratio of ordinance we bring with us (eg, 40% one type of bullet and 60% another type of bullet) instead of it just being a 50 50 split. Also there seems to be a bug where some enemy planes will unload every rocket they have in seconds and will melt your airship in seconds, as well as some weapons like airship batteries having their projectiles spawn seriously misaligned from the cannon barrels and one of the airships seems to have a typo for the health as it shouldn’t have 850k health ### 4/5 — Suggestions *2026-01-11, version 1.0.13* Im thinking the game should have ways to let you play the game entirely without paying, such as: Rest of tier 1: unlocked at rank 10 Tier 2: unlocked at rank 30 Tier 3: unlocked at rank 40 Tier 4: unlocked at rank 50 Tier 5: unlocked at rank 60 These could be higher or lower but please make it possible to grind them. Also increase the reward per mission please. Another suggestion is to allow us to choose what ratio of ordinance we bring with us (eg, 40% one type of bullet and 60% another type of bullet) instead of it just being a 50 50 split. ### 4/5 — Bugs *2025-12-19, version 1.0.13* Please fix the various bugs throughout the game, from what I’ve played so far it is extremely fun. I’ve had a bug where when I make a new save, I can’t do anything and the tutorial doesn’t show up. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2025-11-10, version 1.0.13* You do have to pay IRL money to unlock tiers of stuff any higher than the most basic, it’s like one or two quid though so I don’t really mind and I wouldn’t say it subtracts from the game much. The gameplay is actually really fun. Or at least, I think that it would be if I could actually get anything. Though the new tiers only cost a couple real life pounds, actually GETTING anything from those higher tiers after you’ve bought them is borderline impossible. A completed mission will give on average about 18k of… whatever the in game currency is called (15k on the lower end, 22k on the higher end). This is a problem, because T2 planes for example can easily cost 800k. I love the gameplay, don’t get me wrong, but even after popping this on for an hour or two every day for straight-up months, I’m barely above basic stuff. I’m a Dark Souls player, I like a grind, but this is too much. ### 4/5 — Good game *2025-08-24, version 1.0.13* I hope for your return and safety because this is a good game there is so much potential even if you can’t do daily updates it will still be worth, hope to hear from you again I’ll keep playing a supporting you till then ### 3/5 — Suggestions for developer *2025-05-31, version 1.0.13* When air ships were a thing Machine guns for were planted all over the air ship you need to add that you also need to add three fighters to be launched one at a time because there would always be three fighters launched for defense but when the first airship was lost in the real world they changed up to the strategy so the fighters would do the scouting and the air ship stays hidden you should add scouting missions and let three fighters launch one at a time thank you. ### 4/5 — Big issue *2025-03-24, version 1.0.13* For the small amount of time I have been playing this game I found it to be a great game. There is a major issue though, micro transactions! I understand you need to make money but it is impossible to play the game without spending some cash. I would say it’s a great game if you have 5 bucks laying around. ### 3/5 — Airship Weapons not showing? *2025-01-13, version 1.0.13* The game seems fun and it has a certain depth to its mechanics that I love but for some reason the Airship weapons nor better tiered ships are there? I’ve grinded to level 6 and they still don’t appear so I don’t understand if this is a level issue, a micro transaction one, or a bug in the game. The same goes for the fighters as well. No weapons so I have nothing to spend my gold on. Very frustrating and it feels like I’m doing missions for nothing. ### 4/5 — AMAZING one thing wrong.. *2024-12-24, version 1.0.13* So Im not going to talk much but great game and there is only one problem the HUGE grind. Yeah I get it that is part of the game but you have to do HUNDREDS of missions to get new motherships I just wish they were a bit cheaper and then this would be one of my favorite mobile games thanks for reading! ### 5/5 — Love the game, improvements could be made though. *2024-11-21, version 1.0.13* I love this game, fits what I was looking for in a mobile game and the UI brings me Bach to the early days of apple devices where everything was a hard silver color, but it can use some improvements. First off, if you buy gold and points with irl cash, it should be available in full when you start a new campaign. Second off, you should be able to sell unused planes, airships, and equipment so you can recover some or all of the spent gold. Third thing, an endless mode would be fun where the airship is constantly moving and you encounter a mix of trains, convoys, water and airships and you have to live and score as many points as possible in that timeframe and ofc there would be a leaderboard. Fourth thing would be a PvP multiplayer mode where you have to destroy your opponent’s airship first, but to enter a match both players have to put down and bet gold and the winner takes all. Matches would be separated by max star rating and the minimum cost to enter higher star matches would increase by the amount of stars someone’s stuff is. These are my suggestions that would/could make this game so much better. Also there’s a bug where if you try to click on an upgrade that you can’t afford with level points it hard crashes the game and if you open up the store without playing a match first it turns your screen black and you have to restart your game to be able to do anything. ### 4/5 — Amazing little game *2024-09-19, version 1.0.13* Only ask/critique is that the crashes be fixed. Certain selections while navigating the menus cause the game to crash. It is at least repeatable and therefore avoidable but still frustrating. And it could be nice to have an “inverted” controls option since we are flying aircraft here. Overall very happy so far! ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2024-07-27, version 1.0.13* A very fun game that can be grindy but fun nonetheless, you do need to pay to unlock anything further that starting stuff but it’s only £1 to get T1 stuff so it’s pretty cheap. The torpedos were confusing at first but you just need to fly low and activate your air brake until the icon at the top middle shows that you can drop them. One thing I would say is that the auto adjustment for throttle speeds is convenient but maybe something in settings to turn it off so you can manually set speed. Very fun ### 4/5 — Slightly confusing, some odd UI *2024-07-24, version 1.0.13* I will start out by saying that I enjoy playing this, and have not gotten far into the game yet. Initially when starting the UI was confusing, however it became easier to navigate with the tutorial’s help and fiddling around with it. I think the game would benefit from a help button for UI and making some things clearer, such as unlocking the next tiers. There is an option to pay for the next tier, however it does not tell the user how to unlock it otherwise, if there is a way to unlock it. I’m new so I have no idea what I need to do to unlock next tier or certain weapon categories for airship, no hints for either from what I’ve seen so far. Just saying some help with the UI for new players would be appreciated, thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ahhhhhhhhhhh! *2026-05-13, version 1.0.13* Why do you have to pay for everything? ### 1/5 — How do I play *2026-02-06, version 1.0.13* I cannot buy plane, or start a game. ### 1/5 — Why *2025-05-17, version 1.0.13* Let us unlock other airships without using real money you greedy scum ### 1/5 — Can’t even play the game *2025-04-27, version 1.0.13* I was trying to play the game and pressed an ammo icon and nothing happened, there’s not even a blimp or anything just annoying music and when I try to restart the game it still doesn’t show anything and I get stuck. I would rate this 0 stars if I could. Terrible experience, fix your game. ### 1/5 — Not even a game *2024-04-07, version 1.0.13* It’s a compatibility issue more than likely. After logging into my Apple account doesn’t even let me play because it says I don’t have an aircraft when you see you don’t have any funds and go to the hanger it just lags out after you click on the only thing you can. Freezes and music keeps playing after u exit game. ### 1/5 — This person should not design software *2020-06-25* This is one of the worst designed games I’ve ever seen. Everything is poorly laid out (massive text that scrolls way beyond where it is meant to), poorly thought out, requires way too many taps (I almost quit before I even launched the tutorial mission it was so bad), outright doesn’t seem to work (adding a weapon to your mothership), and the controls are overly fiddly (trying to hit those waypoints in the tutorial and have the hook line-up...just wow). I saw the tutorial to its end (constantly shaking my head in disbelief as virtually every element of the game is designed in the worst possibly way) and promptly deleted it. **Developer response:** I agree. It's not much. But I have to thank Touch Arcade for putting my game on the list of Best New iPhone Games. https://toucharcade.com/2020/06/24/best-new-iphone-games-june-25th/ ### 2/5 — Pretty good *2026-06-11, version 1.0.13* You do have to pay IRL money to unlock tiers of stuff any higher than the most basic, it’s like one or two quid though so I don’t really mind and I wouldn’t say it subtracts from the game much. The gameplay is actually rather fun, even if the mission types get a bit repetitive after a while, it's a good thing to throw on every now and again. I do have one major complaint, however: Though the new tiers only cost a couple real life pounds, actually getting anything from those higher tiers after you’ve bought them is incredibly difficult. The price of higher tier items (not in real money, in... whatever the ingame currency is) is disproportionately high compared to the mission rewards. To the dev, am I doing something wrong? I can't quite tell if this is a balancing issue or just a me issue. I'd like some kind of clarification, please. ### 2/5 — The dang skills tho *2024-04-26, version 1.0.13* I have tried to pump skill points into a few of the skills and it crashes the game it’s fun but so many of the really good skills crush the game trying to buy them and you just can’t get them if it was not for the skill tree being so buggy I might have gave it 5 stars ### 3/5 — How to unlock t1 items *2026-06-24, version 1.0.13* How do I unlock more items when I unlock all one star items ### 3/5 — 2yr since last update is wild *2026-05-21, version 1.0.13* Still fun but would love an update ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Still a great game despite the lack of updates… though there are a few bugs… *2026-06-05, version 1.0.13* -primary turret projectile/bullet on the AH-27 is off centered -armor recovery perk does not function This may go unnoticed due to the probability that the game is abandoned ### 5/5 — Por que esta tan entretenido *2026-02-04, version 1.0.13* Este fue el mejor juego en calidad de dirigibles y a mi que me apasionan los dirigibles Buen trabajo! ### 5/5 — Really good game *2025-12-29, version 1.0.13* Idk why it is so addicting it’s just-so fun to play but I do think y’all need to be able to get the airship’s cus it cost money :) ### 5/5 — Amazing game, one problem *2025-11-21, version 1.0.13* This game is absolutely amazing. However one problem is the simple fact that it is NOT difficult at all. Like in the late game, you unlock weapons that deal tens of thousands of damage, all while enemy airships are equipped with tier one guns and maybe a flak cannon. And the airships themselves don’t get stronger, they just appear more. All Im asking for is stronger enemies however Im afraid this will not be seen, if anyone sees this please feel free to copy it in another review ### 5/5 — Love the game. Two problems however.. *2025-10-28* This is an amazing game. However Im getting straight to the point, the grind is annoying. It’s kind of ridiculous considering you literally have to do hundreds of missions just to get about a million bucks, and some of the motherships and even weapons or planes cost millions. Another problem is the fact that past a certain point the game is paywalled, which yes I understand you want to make money from the game but still… ### 5/5 — Я купил т1 *2025-10-10, version 1.0.13* Я купил т1. Это очень хорошая игра.Гарантирую. ### 5/5 — Incredible game *2025-08-26, version 1.0.13* The concept and execution of this game are nothing short of exemplary, combat both in the seat of the fighters and of airships are incredibly fun and engaging, and I could not complain. I understand that the creator probably won’t ever see this, but if you do I would like to say this is a genuinely great game and it deserves so much more recognition than it received …however there seems to be this bug where the projectiles from the tier 4 FAB-L are fired off the center from where the gun is actually located and aiming which leads to the shots rarely landing other than close range- I’m not sure if the issue is persistent with any other batteries or even for other airships (I have it used on the B-47) but yk.. that’s my only issue with the game really ### 5/5 — I like this game alot *2025-07-24, version 1.0.13* I like how they use blimps ### 5/5 — Game is buggy/not working *2025-01-28, version 1.0.13* Currently the shop will not let players buy new aircraft/airship. Error msg will say that we must unlock T1 first (which are the starting accommodation) permenately locking us from any advancement in game ### 5/5 — Trust me *2025-01-18, version 1.0.13* Look sir or ma’am, I’m speaking for the underdogs. I’m speaking for the broke ones. But first before I speak for them, let me show my appreciation. The fact that you put so little details to it is just amazing. You can shoot the guy that ejected out of his plane. The small spark of the bullet flying out the the gun is spectacular. The details do the default mothership and the plane is AMAZING 🤩 . I USED to make games similar to this. I can feel the hard work and sweat to make this. But now I must confess. I. Am. BROKE. Not necessarily but on the edge of my seat. Inflation and higher prices are caused developers to add prices. Now don’t get me wrong, I used to do it, but then I realized that almost people of all ages play my games(I was forced to take down the game, a warning but I don’t know what I did wrong). It brought joy to my heart. Now from one creator to another. Please release the prices. You can add prices for the game currency and buying motherships can be more expensive with in-game currency. Therefore the consumer has the choice to use their own money to get more in-game currency, making the consumer buy the ships WITH the in-game currency (not of our empty pockets😭) so you can make money. Look, all of this is your choice, you decide. I’m just giving helpful recommendations. If you read all the way to here then please respond back saying “Good idea” or “No” or “Of course but it will take time” or something like that. Something to create that spark of hope in the underdogs. I hope you understand and you have an amazing time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
