  1. [R2] Metalstorm 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.
  2. [R17] Metalstorm 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.
  3. [R63] Wings of Heroes 3/5 · US Pretty fun…but: Unlocks are too slow and inconsistent. But fun game overall
  4. [R67] Wings of Heroes 1/5 · US Okay: Takes too long to gain more planes. Every thing cost money if you want to progress. The recent game changes make it even more challenging to progress in the game with some planes having rarity. The rarity makes it harder to randomly get parts for the planes. The more rare the plane the more cost.
  5. [R6] Metalstorm 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
  6. [R21] Metalstorm 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.
  7. [R70] Wings of Heroes 2/5 · US Crashes after update: Since the latest update, the game randomly shuts down. Not every time but every 3-4 games. I also have enter3d a battle with a gray screen. I still have the targeting reticle but no terrain or other aircraft. I reached out to support and the needed a video. Every time I try and upload it the game shuts down. I enjoy the game but this is enough for me to stop playing it. U
  8. [R79] Wings of Heroes 1/5 · US Too money hungry: The game used to be fun but now the developers make it impossible to compete without constantly spending. Even if you spend you have no control over what parts you get and wind up constantly getting parts you don’t want or need. They say you can sell back unused parts for about 1/4 of their worth and even then you usually wind up with more parts you don’t need
  9. [R39] Metalstorm 3/5 · GB Server issues: I really like the game but in the newer update it’s got serious server issues
  10. [R42] Metalstorm 3/5 · GB Great game but prepare to get kicked: I do enjoy this game controls graphics and all, I just constantly get kicked out of the game mid round and there is no way of getting in touch with support , it happens to me in different locations all around the world with good internet , I’ve tried lowering all graphics settings but nothing works , I haven’t completed a single fight without being kicked out
  11. [R88] Wings of Heroes 1/5 · US Impossible to upgrade: I started this game a few months ago and it was fun and you were able to upgrade your aircraft by grinding or spend a little bit of money. The cost of upgrades has risen 1000% over the last 3 weeks. The cost of gold, silver, tokens and parts for planes is unobtainable for most players unless you have really deep pockets or you have a need to waste a bunch of money on a game.
  12. [R36] Metalstorm 3/5 · GB Fun game but devs to greedy, and slap micro transactions on everything.: Fun gameplay, but the game is heavily focused on microtransactions. Free-to-play progress is painfully slow, while spending speeds everything up. Battle passes are £10 each, and unlike Call of Duty, you cannot earn your gold back for completing them. You can also level a plane from 1, 8 instantly for £10 (even on a 75% off dea
  13. [R52] Metalstorm 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
  14. [R91] Wings of Heroes 1/5 · US Greed killed it: This used to be a decent game. It was always a money grab by the developers, but I get it that they need to pay the bills. However, they recently did an upgrade that now makes it almost impossible to upgrade your planes without massive spending….constantly. Not worth even getting it now.
  15. [R117] Wings of Heroes 3/5 · GB It used to be Good Game overall: It used to be a good game overall, progress was slow if you don’t want to spend any money, but you could still enjoy the game. Now the game is full of bugs, the updates they make cause more problems than they solve and the number of tokens needed to upgrade has increased 10 fold
