### 1/5 — Didn’t work. Avoid unresponsive developer.

*2025-04-08*

I downloaded this for my son to play on our Apple TV. The game did not work with a controller and did not work with the remote. We could not start a match and my son was disappointed. I contacted the developer to ask for support and they never replied.

### 1/5 — Bad experience

*2025-03-31*

No sound - can’t go online

### 2/5 — Out of the Blue

*2025-01-05, version 1.1.5*

When I pressed "load"  - the app dropped me from level 6 to level 4.

### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage

*2024-09-17*

I bought this game off the greatness of the first Storm Raider’s game. I’m honestly in disbelief at how ATYPICAL managed to make such a terrible sequel to such a wonderful original. Storm Raider’s 1 is easily a 5 ⭐️ game. The original has wonderful fluid flight mechanics, terrific campaign sequences, great extra features and graphics.  
I’m baffled at how the managed to create this cesspool of a sequel. All you needed to do was build on the foundation of the original, create some new exciting campaigns maybe add a few new planes. Instead the developers created different flight characteristics that are akin to Atari level of design. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it should be stapled on their heads. 
Did the same game design team code this game?
Did you outsource the project to a bunch of junior high schools students?
Did you even test this abomination before you released it?
How did you sink to the bottom of the Mariana Trench when you were floating on the clouds?
How in good conscience could you ask your patrons and loyal customers to pay for this 
abomination of a game. Honestly if I could get a refund and give this game back, I would in a heartbeat. 
If I didn’t know about the Sky Gamblers series, you would think 🤔 this game is a sequel to the very first game in the series Rise of Glory and made in 2006. Instead it’s the sequel to the legendary Storm Raiders and released in 2020 😖. Have no idea how ATYPICAL regressed to such lows, probably has something to do with the corporate side of the business. 
Only needed to play one campaign mission to realise how badly the game designers analy screwed the prestige of SKY GAMBLERS, I understand it’s hard to make a good game and even harder to make a excellent game. But you guys had the  foundation of the original gameplay to build a better sequel, instead you dribble out this.

### 4/5 — Amazing but

*2024-06-17*

Great game but if you added 4 engine bombers it would be amazing

### 1/5 — I do not trust this app

*2024-04-01*

This app completely took over my phone. It would not exit, receive calls or texts and I could not reatart the phone. I was stuck with this app playing cornover an hour. I had to use so eone else’s phone to find a way to restart--pressinf culume up anrivbt button did not work. I do not how this passed the app store’s security protections is  review is beyond me because it has a serious flaw. It has the ability to commandeer your and make it unusable to you. If this happendedndurimg an emergency, a user would be unable to call out for help.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2023-11-07, version 1.1.5*

Just a great game

### 5/5 — Meisterwerk! Bestes Kampfjet Spiel!

*2023-09-25*

Dieses Spiel ist unglaublich! Beim Anblick der wunderschönen Grafik, der unglaublich schönen Landschaften und der detailgetreuen Flugzeuge bekomme ich Gänsehaut! Bin erstaunt, dass so etwas heutzutage auf mobilen Geräten möglich ist. Das ist Konsolen-Qualität zum Mitnehmen. Anfangs gefiel mir noch der Vorgänger besser, weil beim Vorgänger Flugzeuge leichter abgeschossen werden, aber mittlerweile gefällt mir dieses realitätsnähere Spielprinzip besser. Es fühlt sich an wie in der Realität, es ist nicht mehr bloß ein Spiel wie beim Vorgänger, man muss geübt sein wie ein echter Pilot um Erfolg zu haben. Was ich vermisse sind zwei Flugzeuge aus dem Vorgänger: Ho 229 und HE 162. Würde für diese Flugzeuge sofort Geld zahlen! Wenn die Entwickler diese beiden Flugzeuge hinzufügen, brauche ich nicht mehr den Vorgänger!

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2023-03-05, version 1.1.5*

The mission are lacking as all the sky gamblers series, not as existing as the original WWII sky gambler. The fact that gun auto aims is a big downside.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2023-01-07, version 1.1.5*

The game is very good if you ask me. The graphics are good and so are the planes. I wish there was more heavy bombers. I also wish there was more missions in the campaign. I had a lot of fun playing it. Overall I think it’s a great game.

PS It deleted my progress like 50 times and I had to start over
