  1. [R5] Alliance 5/5 · US Outstanding representative of air combat games: I am a gamer from China who tried this game upon a friend's recommendation. It is called "Air Combat League" in China. I was deeply impressed by its excellent graphics quality when I first played it. When I learned about the actual number of game developers, I was even more amazed. The game's operation and fluency are unprecedented. If I really have

  3. [R41] Alliance 5/5 · US W game: The graphics of this game are unreal plus it feels like your actually flying the fighter jet. 5/5
  4. [R49] Alliance 5/5 · US Best game: This is so realictic the graphics are insane nice job for the developers u should denintly get this
  5. [R1] Alliance 1/5 · US 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
  6. [R13] Alliance 1/5 · US Scammy and AI: Remove the tilt controls pls and add joysticks this game sucks
  7. [R16] Alliance 2/5 · US 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.
  8. [R34] Alliance 1/5 · US 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
  9. [R3] Alliance 3/5 · US 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…
  10. [R12] Alliance 3/5 · US Great game but: When will you add the modes that say coming soon, I’ve been waiting for over 3 years.
  11. [R14] Alliance 5/5 · US 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
  12. [R15] Alliance 3/5 · US It is ok: The game gets boring fast due to the missions being pretty much the same
  13. [R4] Alliance 1/5 · US used to be good, turned mid: ruined it when they added “fuel tanks”
  14. [R7] Alliance 1/5 · US No Thanks: Micro transaction nightmare. Need to pay money to play missions. I’ll move on.
  15. [R8] Alliance 4/5 · US 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
  16. [R10] Alliance 2/5 · US 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
  17. [R31] Alliance 2/5 · US 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
