What players say
Fun shoota once ya get used ta all da flyin'. Starts off feelin' like you've been strapped to a rokkit by a mad mek no control, just chaos but once it clicks, it's brilliant. It's exactly how I imagine a tru Ork pilot would fly no plan, no finesse, just instinct, speed, and as much dakka as possible. You ain't glidin', you're divin', boostin', and sometomes not crashin'. Messy, loud, and an absolute blast.

It's a fun arcade flight shooter. The controls are pretty easy so it's good to pick up and play. The levels run a little long with no checkpoints so you can get far, complete a lot of objectives, lose, then have to start all over again. Plane selection is a little too hidden at first, too. Overall worth the purchase on sale for sure if you like flight combat or 40k Orks.
do not buy the game becuses it has a bug and the game is died cu'z last time i was on i did not see a single lobby but i am just warning you and waaagh
