Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
there's a good amount of weapons and possible loadouts. good choice of aircraft: agile dogfighters, long range interceptors, attack planes and bombers, in large and small variants, fixed wing and swing wing. played a bunch with controller and with stick, both work. only for dogfighting builds with guns I would recommend the stick, everything else is fine on controller. especially on sale this is a great purchase with solid replayability. i got it for 10 bucks in early access and through the development it has become a good roguelite and arcade fight sim. it gets difficult after some stages, and even though i crashed more than i fought the final boss, i keep coming back, so imo that speaks for the quality of the gameplay

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
If you can get past these quirks, however, you will find a fun dogfighting game that is fit for quick games against seemingly overwhelming odds, that you can even play in Co-Op, topped off with a small but dedicated workshop community.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It's matched in the audio department too as the sound effects are all simple and nice, and the soundtrack by Phonetic Hero is a joy to listen to.

What I got was a fun product, that I put on a Steam Deck to play offline in travel, which it excels at.
