1. [R5] 1/5 · US Very fun game: It’s a great flying game with dogfights and balanced attacks
2. [R8] 5/5 · US 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
3. [R9] 5/5 · US Best Air Combat Game: The controls are smooth, graphics are polished, and has great gameplay. The developers really do show a passion for aviation. Constant updates is awesome and I hope this game and the developers find long term success with this game. Theres not much competition right now on mobile for dogfighting games.
4. [R36] 5/5 · US Hands down best fighter jet game out there: This game is a game changer when it comes to air combat and dogfighting the jets are all unique and awesome th same star from for making my dream of being a fighter pilot come true
5. [R6] 5/5 · US 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
6. [R10] 4/5 · US Love hate relationship: I really enjoy this game it has great graphics love the gameplay best jet game I’ve played only downfall in my opinion is how much time it takes to unlock new jets I think the points required should be cut down a little bit
7. [R20] 5/5 · US WHAT A GAME: This game is so fun and and impressive. The planes are well designed, the UI is clean, the game controls are balanced in difficulty, the povs are immersive, the rewards are hard, and the updates improve the game( which rarely happens these days) Play to fight. Fight to win. Win to have fun. ( Am I being paid for this ?!🤔) this game is purely a good vibe and is worth every gig in your
8. [R19] 4/5 · US The best mobile aircraft fighter game available.: I have played this game for more than a year or two now and definitely believe that it belongs in the top tier of aircraft fighter games, if not the best. This game allows a lot of gameplay diversity. The controller support is an absolute must and it works quite well. One complaint I would have about this game. It is how slow the progression can be
9. [R38] 2/5 · US Very Fun: This game is engaging, super fun, and controller compatible.
10. [R40] 5/5 · US Love the new update: I’ve always loved this game, but the new update that allows you to upgrade in different ways changes the game. It’s awesome. One thing though. You should add the f-15 EX II as a top tier “missile truck.” It can carry 12 missiles in real life. Also, you should let us pick how many of each type of missile we want.
11. [R14] 1/5 · US No longer fun or fair: I’ve been playing this game for about 7 months. They claim any plane can compete with a gen 5 fighter. That used to be true but now the sides are so uneven, there is no chance. I don’t pay because I just don’t believe in buying my way up the ladder. Maybe that’s why after having 75 and 80 percent win rate, I’ve dropped to 30 percent. I’m done and deleting. Good luck.
12. [R56] 1/5 · US El emparejamiento es muy malo: El juego es bueno en general, pero lo que lo hace malísimo es el emparejamiento, súper malo. Apenas espese a jugar desde ayer y ya me emparejaba con gente que lleva meses inclusa años en el juego, la diferencia entre el nivel de la las aeronaves es brutal.
13. [R203] 3/5 · GB SERIOUS ISSUE PLEASE FIX: Great game. Good graphics, impressive mechanics. One huge problem that ruins the whole game: you are matched against players in insane ranks that are way way way better than you. I have a hangar level 5 plane, and I am being matched with planes from hangar levels 17,18,19 regularly (70% of the time). Please please fix this, as it is such a good game, but the matchups make
14. [R223] 2/5 · GB Now unplayable: The game was excellent, albeit expensive to upgrade your aircraft. In the past few days, the ranking system has gone haywire and new pilots are pitched against experts with all the Mods. Not fun as a level 8 player to to be repeatedly destroyed within seconds by a level 20 enemy that outranges you and defeats any attempts by you to fight back
15. [R62] 3/5 · US Researching: It takes way too long to research new aircraft
16. [R86] 2/5 · US 15 years to unlock: It will take you 15 years or more to unlock fighter jets
17. [R41] 1/5 · US This Game Is No Fun: Do not expect a fun fair game. The devs will let P2W players abuse new players. Uninstalled because of corruption and cheating
18. [R46] 1/5 · US It was great. Now it’s trash: The developers are now just trying to milk everyone full pay to play style. Many are quitting. Entire squadrons quitting. The updates are awful. Matchmaking is completely unfair. You get destroyed game after game. The ones who give input even said they told them no one asked for these updates. The developers gives zero something. They clearly are just trying to mi
19. [R74] 1/5 · US Trash App: Metalstorm will take your money for a good plane and then a month later they'll nerf that plane forcing you to buy the next. It was a good game but they've ruined it. Find a different game to enjoy, this one is ruined. 4/26 Updated. It's even worse now. Avoid this phone app and find a good game to play... Developers are nothing but money hungry scammers at this point. Matches a
20. [R107] 1/5 · US It’s not the plane or the pilot! It’s your wallet!: It’s not the plane or the pilot! It’s your wallet!
21. [R25] 2/5 · US Afterburner swipe to lock Bug issue with ADV: For some reason the “afterburner swipe to lock” function doesn’t turn off when out of fuel and doesn’t shut off when you press the brakes like it does with every other jet. You have to manually turn it off on the afterburner button & this is the only jet this bug happens with. Idk when this bug appeared but it’s the first time I’ve used this feature wi
22. [R50] 4/5 · US Glitching: Great game just has lots of glitching
23. [R234] 3/5 · GB BUGS: I’ve played this game for years but since the last update it’s been buggy kicking my out of matches randomly and locking up my flight controls randomly in matches to
24. [R392] 3/5 · CA Really glitchy, frustrating: This game gets a bit expensive but it’s fun, only it’s super glitchy. I can’t finish a 5 minute match without the app crashing. If internet isn’t really good it’s not even worth trying. I was hoping for some bug fixes, left the game for half a year but it seems even worse now.
25. [R78] 1/5 · US Disingenuous “flight pass”: In traditional battle-pass-analogues, one can purchase the pass once and recoup the secondary currency required to purchase it by completing the entirety of the path. In Metalstorm, even when completing the path, you receive a mere 60 of the required 169 credits to purchase the next battle pass. This means that they extract money from every player consistently (if they
26. [R100] 1/5 · US Fun game but pay to play!: This is a great game and one of the few in my history I’ve spent money to play. I bought enough credits in the game to use their “flight pass” and played enough to max out the season. I spent no credits on accessories and even had some credits left over from my original purchase yet it was STILL not enough to get enough credits for the flight pass this season. I have 166
27. [R1] 1/5 · US Bots either are great or suck: The bots in the game are either great or suck. How do bots for one team get 3, 4, and 5 kills and bots for another team get 0 kills. The devs are gaming the matches so you lose!!!!!!
28. [R189] 2/5 · US Just don't: So just spent 20 minutes writing a review to have it disappear. Ive been playing for close to three years with four accounts. This game has been a huge part of my life. But now i have to face the uncomfortable truth that the game intentionally makes me lose, so it will intentionally make me win. No longer do i win or lose by my skill. I used to feel pride after a great match, now i rea
29. [R195] 1/5 · US Unplayable: It's almost the best game ever but It's the match making that really ruins it and nothing else. I feel like there's a lot of times I'm set up to lose and the game knows that which is why it hands out underdog trophies. There are times where it's a lot worse than others but still sadly the match making makes it almost unplayable at times. I'm not saying it isn't a skill issue but there'
30. [R320] 3/5 · GB It’s ok: A bit repetitive as you are just doing the same thing over and over again. Be warned if you are using an iPad and have activated tilt controls it will frequently recalibrate itself, mid firefight and at points you have to attempt to recalibrate multiple times which inevitably ends up with you either crashing or getting shot down or you just have to close the game and reload it again.
31. [R330] 3/5 · CA Need more to the game: Game is very fun only issue is, it becomes one dimensional after one point. Only thing you got looking forward to is unlocking new planes, for which the hype also dies pretty soon
32. [R293] 3/5 · GB Good, but could be better: Decent game, love the mechanics of the jets and the rockets. The way you unlock planes is very boring and it just drags out the fun of it. Very sweaty* Should be much simpler since playing 300 games with the same plane gets frustrating. You can’t even unlock new guns or rockets. The matchmaking is poor. 97% if the time I end up playing against bots. If this game had
33. [R4] 3/5 · US Your new ad spamming is ridiculous: I absolutely love this game, the new upgrades are fire well done BUTTT if your going to adopt the Google/youtube advertising campaign me and a lot of ppl will find another game. Just because I have enough to buy the extra stuff with my gold and I was going to until every single time the page changes I had to X out of this STUPID AD that’s going to cost you more
34. [R35] 3/5 · US 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
35. [R42] 5/5 · US Love it: Love the game wish there was an easier way to get all of the planes
36. [R87] 1/5 · US Does not work on iPhone while on WiFi: Numerous bugs and server issues. Not worth it if you are spending money. Playing for free slows progression significantly.
37. [R96] 3/5 · US Huge server issue.: Dear developers I wanted to let you know that I cannot connect to the servers to play this game as of now in upgrades 2.0. In conclusion, please fix this when you get a chance.
38. [R2] 5/5 · US Great game: My dad used worked in the Air Force as a F -15 pilot and he got me and my brother this game. I play it everyday and I dominate it. My favorite map is count down and I love exploring the tunnels. I love the F-106 and the nuke mod I love it. I wish Starform makes more games like these. Five stars.
39. [R52] 1/5 · US Ruined: This game has been ruined. There is not a single aspect of the game that is not worse off than when I started playing a year ago. The constant “updates” have ruined match making, aircraft balance, and game enjoyment…. So disappointed.
40. [R110] 1/5 · US Terrible Updates: Unfortunately, the developers of this game continue to prioritize a cash grab agenda with convoluted updates and ridiculous pricing. What was once an awesome, balanced game is now just another money grab due to the recent updates.
41. [R240] 3/5 · GB Slow progress: It’s ok, entertaining, seems to take forever to get to where you want or the aircraft you want, even if you spend a few £££ you still don’t get a tomcat. Not sure I’ll have it for much longer.
