- [R1] Alliance Fix the mechanics: The way how you fly sucks were you have to point your phone to move it puts a lot of stress in my arm and I’m trying to rest my arm and because of that I’m not even able to do anything in the game it’s hard to even hit your shots
- [R13] Alliance Scammy and AI: Remove the tilt controls pls and add joysticks this game sucks
- [R16] Alliance Cool idea but super hard!: I really like the concept of the game where you move your device to control the plane but it is really difficult to aim in this game.Can you please make it so you can change controls to move.
- [R22] Alliance Horrible: Impossible to play without a gyroscope, it's everywhere, and please add Russian language to the game · translated
- [R4] Alliance used to be good, turned mid: ruined it when they added “fuel tanks”
- [R7] Alliance No Thanks: Micro transaction nightmare. Need to pay money to play missions. I’ll move on.
- [R10] Alliance Good game but one problem…: I like the game with the shooting and all but the amount of gas tanks are crazy. You need to make it more then 3 gas tanks! You NEED at least unlimited fuel for more reviews. Please make it more gas tanks! I don’t like that you need to wait close to an hour for there to be 3, which is a crazy amount of time. In that time I can make my own game!!! Make it MORE gas! PLEAS
- [R12] Alliance The Plane: I love this game but I Riley wanted the F14 for free please and no fuel tank
- [R3] Alliance Fun to play..but no updates for a long time..: This game is fun to play. The graphics and game play are very good. I Stopped paying for the monthly extra though because the “coming soon” campaigns have never come after at least 3 years…
- [R14] Alliance Freaking Awesome but needs improvements: 1st please can you have the Coming Soon on the game asap and add more than that like the battle of midway and all WWII Wars And The Naval wars and put Naval ships on. 2nd Can you downsize the cost of the Jets and Ships To A number 000AC instead of a number 0000 or 00000 AC And make the Jets and ships Paint jobs free or at least a number 00 AC and can you m
- [R21] Alliance Goodsh: The update has been coming soon for the past three years Apart from that the game’s great👍
- [R23] Alliance Excellent game, I eagerly await future development: I have had this game on and off for years, it always has been a great source of entertainment. I even ended up paying to become a Gold Sponsor in the hopes of supporting this game’s underdog attitude. From what I understand, it is run by only two developers. While I can understand the magnitude of such an undertaking, I do hope to see some signif
- [R8] Alliance Fun game: I can’t complain it’s a fun game and it’s clear the developers care about making it better. Just a few little things that would make the gameplay more fun like health regeneration after a couple squadron rounds. And it’s definitely a money hungry app but it doesn’t have many adds so it balances out
- [R17] Alliance Very realistic: Good designs just why do I have to pay money for skins great combat action
- [R28] Alliance Fix bugs: Game is fun until it’s freezes you out when you try to use diamonds to respawn right away. Have had to restart multiple times
- [R34] Alliance My opinion: This game at first was good until it changed to tilt screen mode and in the controls I couldn’t change it the it glitched so bad it set my screen on fire.
- [R44] Alliance Plane has stopped moving?: Was fine the other week but now the jet just doesn’t move at all?
- [R55] Supremacy So good: It is a great strategy game if you were bored and just a great strategy if you aren’t
- [R58] Supremacy Amazing game!: Love this game! It is just like what I had imagined when I saw it. Great military strategy game.
- [R59] Supremacy Why so long: This game takes 2 hours to make one move
- [R60] Supremacy Everything takes too long: I don’t have time to wait like 12 hours and there fast game mode still like 3 hours for troops and building make a whole mode for just like everthing is quick
- [R68] Sky Warriors Ranking up issues: Takes forever to rank up. Obviously baiting you to spend money on the game. Games are too short. Also the game is very limited to four battles. Each one with a timer countdown of about 2 minutes. Skill base matching is not a thing in this game. You win one match and lose 10 straight to try hards like are they even real people. Last time playing this. Not worth downloading. Would
- [R69] Sky Warriors Cool game: I mean it’s a decent Mobile jet simulator
- [R72] Sky Warriors Super realistic, but....: This game is absolutely awesome! It is so realistic and it makes you feel like you are actually flying a F-16. The only thing that this game has that isn’t very good is the chat. Almost everyone says bad words. Every single one. I recommend for an 8 year old or lower not to play this. But other than that, this game is top gun. And also I can’t play it on my phone because
- [R75] Sky Warriors Very fun: It’s a very cool fun game, with many friends you make, and fly around with new jets, but I am not a fan of this new update, it has ruined lots of things, and I’m hoping for you guys to fix this somehow, Thankyou -LJR19
- [R80] Wings of Heroes Awesome game: No bs it is a good game
- [R81] Wings of Heroes Pretty fun…but: Unlocks are too slow and inconsistent. But fun game overall
- [R82] Wings of Heroes Fun game, bring your wallet: Have been playing on and off for years. The game is fun but definitely have to spend real money and lots of it to upgrade planes. Developers constantly making updates which seem to be in players interest but the focus is on p2p
- [R89] Wings of Heroes Fun: Love it so far!
- [R94] Modern Warships Great game: The game is very good! Modern ships, helicopters, aircraft’s….amazing!!! Thank you dear developers. Please don’t stop and continue to support this game many thanks in advance
- [R95] Modern Warships Very Good Game: Nice game and good graphics i love the music but the thing is the mods DONT do their job. The mods banned me for ONE DAY in chat because of asking which ship is better… BUT the mods dont ban people who say bad things to others. Dev if your see this your moderators are NOT DOING THEIR JOB! ( im so mad rn)…
- [R100] Modern Warships Game mode review and equipment/ship recommendations: The “convoy escort” game mode is excellent overall, and I have found significant success myself in the first days of the event. In terms of equipment suggestions, the B-21 Raider bomber needs a remaster, focusing on the color, the shape of the air intakes, and shape of the cockpit windows. I would also recommend adding the Boeing F-15EX Eagle
- [R105] Modern Warships Quality: The game is really good I played it for a good hour and I already got to level ten just 6 more levels away from level 16 so I can do air combat and I love the quality it’s real good try the game!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
- [R110] Metalstorm Very fun game: It’s a great flying game with dogfights and balanced attacks
- [R112] Metalstorm Throwing matches: This game is great. Planes have a lot of detail and the controls are easy. It can be a little grind-heavy at times. The biggest issue is players throwing matches because they don’t like someone’s tag. I’ve noticed that in matches where anything negative-Palestine, pro-Israel, anti-Trump, pro-military, etc., is used as a name/tag, some players refuse to play and just fly around ai
- [R114] Metalstorm AMAZING but…: It’s an amazing game my entire family (except for my mom) plays it and we have soooooooooo much fun and it has very good graphics and doesn’t glitch that much But (for the developers) can u add the new us f-47
- [R119] Metalstorm Great flight combat simulator: Love the mechanics, easy to pick up and put down. Matches are not too long. Some of the game economy is complex, but worth it to fly fighter jets. 2 suggestions. 1. Campaign mode. Give me some missions outside of the PvP stuff. 2. Please, please, please, get with Disney and make a Star Wars Squadrons version of this. I would lose my mind playing something like th
- [R30] Alliance Really want a good flight game: Just like every other flight game the controls are so terrible. Try to customize them under controls and tutorial and there is no option to. Only can play tutorial. I hate mobile flight games. It’s like the devs are 6 year old kids who have never been outside. Absolutely stupid
- [R26] Alliance WAY TO EXPENSIVE: The game is great and all, good game. But one plane SHOULD NOT cost 7 dollars. It is too pricey for a mobile game (Besides war thunder). I personally won’t be using the app for a while because it is too expensive (Yes I know I said that a lot of times)
- [R42] Alliance Not bad: Would give it 5 stars but it’s very pay to win, fuel cost actual money. Not my thing.
- [R33] Alliance Can add new things pls: i play this game many years i love it but it too long times not add some new things
- [R41] Alliance Good Game: This game boasts top-notch graphics and gameplay experience. I've been playing it since 2019, and it has provided me with a rich and thrilling gaming experience. I'm deeply grateful to the developers for their efforts! However, to this day, I'm still waiting for the launch of the remaining eras besides the three existing war eras. (The Vietnam,The Cold War, The Golden Age, etc.) Althoug
