### 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.

### 4/5 — Amazing but

*2024-06-17*

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

### 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

### 2/5 — Needs a Joy Pad

*2022-10-08*

This game would be better then the old one if it had a full left, right, up, down Joy pad fitted. Just does not work with out it. Stick that in the next update and it will be better then the first one.

**Developer response:** I guess you never went through the options, because the game supports many control modes , including virtual joysticks

### 2/5 — Yes, well.........early days I suppose.

*2022-10-08*

Firstly. The graphics are pretty good. Second gameplay also good. The Spitfires look ridiculous, having a stupid air intake under the prop, where there should not be one! Can’t the developers sort this out? The cockpit view is standard for all aircraft. That’s just bloody lazy. And the radio chatter is ALL BLOODY AMERICAN! What’s the matter with you people? We pay enough for a game like this........SORT IT OUT! C.

### 3/5 — Storm raiders 2

*2022-09-01*

I’m stuck on mission five for the last four days I keep getting mission failed when all enemy planes shot down and there are only blue ones remaining. What am I missing here. Am i doing something wrong, all missions before worked well with no glitches at all. Please advise, thank you.

Thank you, for your reply I will follow your suggestions.

By the way great game, enjoying it very much.

**Developer response:** Hi! Remember to always follow the instructions and objectives the game gives you. It's not always about eliminating all the enemies

### 4/5 — Great but wait 2

*2022-04-28*

(Previous problem fixed :D) I don’t know if there is a log in, but it would be nice to have it, it could be in the game I just haven’t found it, I bring this up because I had to delete the game to fix my problem, and with doing that I lost my progress, but other than my problem it is a fantastic game, I would also like to see a second Battle Supremacy game(the tank game you guys made) I love the first one but seeing a second one with less purchases using real money, Thank you for reading my last Review, I look forward to what you have on store for the future, Have a good day :)

**Developer response:** You wouldn't have lost the progress if you saved to iCloud in the first place. What a pity!

### 4/5 — Great game but some problems

*2022-01-28, version 1.1.5*

It is a great game and amazing graphics but not exactly like the video. It is still a great game!

### 2/5 — Not ready for prime time.

*2021-06-28*

Pretty, promising, but too flawed to stay on my phone. Controls are just about unusable in any mode. I’m sure others have conquered the unnecessarily steep learning curve to control this beast, but it just doesn’t have to be this difficult. 

Thank you for adding moderately recognizable physics, but now please let players use them with a joystick (and not the casual junk).

Going to let this one sit and hope there’s an update that gives more palatable control options.

### 4/5 — Would be 5 star but...........

*2021-06-03, version 1.1.5*

I would give this 5 stars but there’s not enough companion mode here are some you could do the b Mitchell raid, and D-DAY if added those or different ones that would be great and I would give 5 stars

### 3/5 — BUG

*2021-05-09, version 1.1.5*

There are bugs, 1. It is easy to cause confusion and loss of control of the steering direction, and it can only be restored to normal by switching the angle of view.  2. Multiple devices cannot log in with the same id, Why the game progress is not automatically saved？

Does not support ipad full screen!

### 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

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Beş para etmez

*2022-12-23, version 1.1.5*

Oyananış rezalet, kontrol etmesi başlı başına bir işkence,

### 1/5 — A joke

*2022-07-31, version 1.1.5*

Deleted this after multiple attempts to enjoy it outside of the amazing graphics.  The controls are a joke.  The gameplay is absolutely lame.  Don’t fall for the spiffy, improved look.  The old one is far superior.

### 1/5 — Too hard, thieving money

*2021-12-15*

FIX YOUR GAME! When I play on easy mode it’s exactly like hard mode. Costs money yet has IAP. Engine does not cut out on British designs, so fix that. Feels like 50kmh while at 500kmh. Fix your game. DO NOT BUY! IT IS NOT WORTH IT! Get something else like GS: WW2 (I call it Wings Of Duty, as it was) instead. Crappiest combat simulator I have EVER played. Do not buy, it will try to take your money as it literally stole my account and took EVERY SINGLE CENT off it. I tried to put more in, and BANG, Money gone. Atypical Games are thieves. Do not download this game. If you have it, DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE IT STEALS YOUR ACCOUNT AND MONEY.

**Developer response:** Easy difficulty is very much different than other difficulties, let's get this thing straight! You should watch the tutorials to learn how to play the game! Also, have you checked the iAPs? I bet you didn't, otherwise, you would have seen that all which can be bought with real money can be unlocked through normal gameplay, but I guess yapping about is better and more satisfying As for the rest of the accusations, you are a lying imbecile

### 1/5 — Game crashes upon opening app

*2021-05-01*

I’m not sure what to say about the game play since my son isn’t able to play. We bought the first version for my son but the game was super glitchy...we didn’t listen to the reviews and bought it anyways. We chalked that up as our mistake and moved on

Unfortunately we then purchased this game (my son was using his own money and assured me he wanted it despite the many bad reviews)...I’m not sure what that says about me but they got another $5 from my son. The game may be great but the app closes just closes down right after selecting the app to play. We haven’t been able to open the game to try it even once since downloading it yesterday...buyer beware.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Please i need a one last update

*2022-04-23, version 1.1.5*

We need weather update,difficult first-person plane cockpit

### 5/5 — Great!!

### 5/5 — The best game ever

*2021-08-06, version 1.1.5*

This is good I like it because it reminds me of playing war wing those were good days the graphics of this game are Beautiful Nice job with the game thank you for the old memories when I played war wings

### 5/5 — add interiors to the airplane

*2021-08-05, version 1.1.5*

i’m kind i’ve said why you guys don’t have interiors for the airplanes please add thum

### 5/5 — Storm raiders

*2021-07-02*

I have no complaints this game is the most beautiful mobile game I bought

### 5/5 — Why do people keep complaining about controls?

*2021-06-19*

I see that a lot of people say the controls are bad, honestly, I would recommend calibrating again if the controls feel bad, I don’t see too much of an issue I have seen much harder controls on similar games. Also, the game has much less pay 2 win than the original and better graphics as well as loadout customization. I do think that a problem is that planes can take way to many hits which sometimes is a bit boring. Overall this game is great and I strongly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Masdfg
