### 2/5 — Iraq

*2026-08-01, version 1.31.299*

Not work on Ipad mini 6 ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

### 3/5 — Needs to work on glitches

*2026-05-31, version 1.31.297*

Cool game only thing I don’t like is that as of recently it’s been closing itself after each mission

### 4/5 — Great game! But…

*2025-02-06, version 1.31.265*

It could really use an update. 🙏🏻

### 4/5 — DELETE THE MISSLE

*2024-08-04, version 1.31.265*

IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPETE A CAPTER MISSION IF THERE 100 MILLION MISSLE ON ME AND I CANNOT DO ALL OF THEM SO DELETE THE MISSLE NOW 😡

### 2/5 — Glitch

*2024-06-30, version 1.31.263*

Man i just spent like $25 to get started and now i cant get passed the drone abilities screen. Cmon man, could yall help me or refund me ?

### 4/5 — Bro

*2023-12-20, version 1.31.257*

I watched an ad to get an extra life and it did not let me get it i’m about to quit this game

### 2/5 — Paid for nothing?

*2023-12-06, version 1.31.257*

A great and entertaining game, however be weary of the in game purchases. I have spent some money on 8,000 gold, but never received it. I’ve closed out of the app and back in and even turned off and on my device and still haven’t received my 8,000 gold. The lower purchases seem to work fine but the higher one don’t and I felt like I was just ripped off

### 2/5 — Drone doesn’t repair after watching add

*2023-07-29, version 1.31.248*

When you offer an option to repair the drone during battle, by watching an ad, it should work but in this b.s. game, it doesn’t!! Don’t offer it if you don’t intend to honor it. What a waste of time, when so many other games are more rewarding.

### 5/5 — Very good but I already beat it

*2023-07-18, version 1.31.232*

Please add more levels😭

### 4/5 — Fun

*2023-06-15, version 1.31.232*

Its fun but challenging

### 3/5 — Языки

*2023-06-01*

Боитесь русский язык добавить?

**Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв! Мы понимаем, что поддержка русского языка важна для многих игроков. Мы передадим ваше пожелание команде разработчиков для рассмотрения в будущих обновлениях.

### 5/5 — Super fun

*2023-05-24, version 1.31.227*

Great game and with plenty of missions.  Worth the money.

### 2/5 — Best drone game, but…

*2023-01-24, version 1.31.113*

Would be nice if you had a free roaming level, with no mission just flying around and blowing things up. You could charge a flat fee ($9.99), that unlocks all the drones, weapons and maps but only for that free roaming mode. Just to have mindless fun. Hopefully developers can add this.

### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing

*2026-07-16, version 1.31.299*

When I complete the mission or even fail my game quickly straights crashes and then I press the app again and keeps showing me a local or drive cloud save, could u pls fix the issue pls thank you

### 1/5 — Lame money grab

*2025-05-02, version 1.31.282*

if you enjoy playing each level 9x to earn the cash to clear each level this is the game for you.   forces ads to get anywhere.   LAME because it's done well.   Don't play

### 1/5 — Paid for gold

*2024-07-18, version 1.31.263*

This game is great but I just paid $10 for a bunch of gold and got nothing🤬🤬🤬

### 1/5 — Drone Repair

*2023-07-19, version 1.31.232*

When drone is damaged you are offered the option to repair it by watching an advert - this does not work. The drone does not get repaired and you have to start the mission over

### 1/5 — Junk

*2023-05-26, version 1.31.227*

This game is so stupid mission one you watch a little guy running around you can’t do anything because you have no ordinances waist of time

### 1/5 — I want to be paid back

*2023-05-17, version 1.31.227*

I paid for the AVENGER +HELLFIRE MK II +GOLD package at 25% off. Price: $6.99. I absolutely did not receive my package. I want to be paid back. PLS contact me.

### 1/5 — don’t waste your time

*2023-02-04, version 1.31.113*

no support from the developer and you can’t get past the simple training exercise. piece of junk.

### 1/5 — Disappointed.

*2022-11-23, version 1.31.113*

I had read so many good reviews! But every match the game either just fails you because you can’t finish it in 30-60 seconds like dude seriously it’s like they keep rushing you! And the weapon upgrades are just outrageously expensive. Please fix these problems.

### 1/5 — Может пора завести русский язык?

*2022-07-22*

Всё было бы на 5 звёз, но нет русского языка, не смотря на просьбы к разработчику, так что считайте оценку санкциями🤷🏼‍♂️

### 1/5 — Gold

*2021-11-26*

**Developer response:** Bonjour, Si vous avez rencontré des problèmes avec les achats, veuillez nous contacter à support@relatedgames.com

### 5/5 — Great game older than you think

*2025-09-11, version 1.31.286*

Played for years on and off, this the basis for which all cinematic air support shooters are based on with plenty to upgrade and modes to boot

### 5/5 — Super jeux

*2025-06-16*

Dommage que l’on ne peux pas jouer à la manette

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour et vos 5 étoiles, Fredou25 ! Nous sommes ravis que le jeu vous plaise. Le support de la manette est une suggestion intéressante que nous transmettrons à notre équipe de développement. Restez connecté pour les futures mises à jour !

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2025-05-26, version 1.31.282*

What’s great is you can have a lot of fun without spending any money.. but even more fun if you do!!

### 5/5 — very nostalgic

*2025-02-23, version 1.31.265*

pretty nostalgic but hella fun, you dont absolutley have to spend money on it and the missions are pretty replayable to grind money and gold, awesome game

### 5/5 — amazing game

*2024-10-17, version 1.31.265*

there is just something with this game that just works because i have downloaded it and became instantly hooked it is so fun to play and would definitely recommend

### 5/5 — Sick

*2024-06-11, version 1.31.263*

A real game on the phone that’s not just a scam 10/10

### 5/5 — Perfect shooter

*2024-05-12, version 1.31.263*

Pleasantly surprised with the gameplay and the fact it’s not a money grabbing exercise. Like the games used to be. I’d rather purchase upgrades at my own accord then being forced to do so in order to progress. Loving it.

### 5/5 — 生きる

*2024-01-28*

このゲーム面白いけど大量の兵士がいるステージゲームってどこ狙えばいいかわからないすぐにゲームオーバーなるバグる

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます！兵士が大量に出るステージで狙いどころが分かりにくいとのご意見、よく理解できます。また、バグが発生しているとのことで、大変申し訳ございません。詳細な状況をサポートチームにお知らせいただければ、改善に役立てることができます。引き続き楽しんでいただけるよう努めてまいります。

### 5/5 — Best game ever.

*2023-12-26, version 1.31.257*

Truly the best game ever. I love to fly the drones and carry out air strikes against the terrorists and all. But a few things that would make it better. A Ukraine-Russia War Mode and a US-China Cold War Mode. These would be awesome if you could take out nukes and missile launchers and strike the enemy as their on the march. Please add those things I mentioned and this game will be awesome. Thank you

### 5/5 — Very good, lacks realism.

*2023-10-10, version 1.31.248*

I want to be clear about the title first. The lack of realism is not a bad thing. The weapons often have decals that aren’t realistic, but you never even see the guns in combat. The UI is a bit futuristic but its fine and I even like it. The graphics aren’t very realistic, but its standard for a mobile game. Highly recommended if you don’t need a super realistic game.
