  1. [R6] Drone Strike Military War 3D 3/5 · US Nice game: Really nice play through, flight controls are basic, only gripes are it not being able to be played in landscape mode
  2. [R62] 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.
  3. [R68] Metalstorm 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
  4. [R77] 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.
  5. [R3] Drone Strike Military War 3D 3/5 · US Ads take over: An obnoxious amount of ads that run for too long to enjoy this game.
  6. [R21] Drone Strike Military War 3D 3/5 · US Too much: It’s a fun game to play and it’s a good phone game to kill some time. He’s my issue, the ads. I completely understand the developers wanting to make money, how else to you continue to grow. I do not see any reason to place an add before and after every level. If you want to advertise and keep people around to enjoy your work, don’t bombarde them with ads every 3 minutes. Also, there isn’
  7. [R66] 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
  8. [R108] 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
  9. [R9] Drone Strike Military War 3D 3/5 · US Got to level 5379 everything maxed: It’s a fun game but what makes me angry is that I lost all my progress I’ve been playing this games once it’s release. It’s fine I can work for it back.
  10. [R36] Drone Strike Military War 3D 3/5 · US Broken: I keep getting updates about bug fixes but they are not fixed. 1: When I watch a video and go back to play, the sound is gone. If I want the sound to come on then I have to close the game completely and reopen. 2: when you watch a video to get the free hammers, they do not show up. 3: after a round is over, I do not get the full amount of hammers. If it says I get say 150 hammers I get way
  11. [R106] Metalstorm 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.
  12. [R43] Drone Strike Military War 3D 1/5 · US Even paid version had ads!: The games are reasonably fun, but you have to look at a preview /ad for some other game before you can advance. Ripoff.
  13. [R114] 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. [R100] Metalstorm 1/5 · US Greedy rich rigged rip off: The game is garbage completely rigged to get you to spend thousands of dollars and still never be able to advance this game is completely righed
  15. [R81] 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.
  16. [R67] Metalstorm 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.
