Great game but it constantly kicks me out of matches and the algorithms are horrible. they match you up against planes that you can't even compete with and make it impossible for you to upgrade unless you spend money. A lot of times I'll be shooting directly at them and it's not even affecting them when my missiles and bullets are hitting them. this game has a lot of issues update: you responded by telling me to contact support. I have done so several times and no response from support !

"It's not the plane, it's the pilot!" *proceeds to get shot down in 7 bullets while your own plane takes 30 seconds at least to shoot anything down using guns* (it's the same with missiles too) ||||||||| It's a great game, but the loading tip that says the planes are perfectly balanced when they aren't is just a bit annoying. Other than that though, play it! It's really good, it's intuitive, there are no ads, and pretty much anything you need to pay for can be unlocked through gameplay.

There is NO incentive to level up planes if I can achieve gold or platinum trophies in LVL 8's, but not LVL 20's. The game is fun, but the MM/plane LVLs/trophy system still needs tweaking. I like the idea of the plane mastery, but we're not talking micro transactions, it's $15 just for 1 plane. The gold valuation across the game is over double what is remotely reasonable. I might spend that on 2 or 3, but not for 1. Encourage more playtime by making this seasons progress unlock next season pass.

Really enjoyable and easy to learn. I started a day or two ago and I'd say I've gotten pretty good. It runs smoothly 80% of the time on laggy devices and even better on smoother ones. The selection of aircraft is very nice and the maps are pretty well designed. My only complaint is that getting silver/parts for upgrading planes (and thus the hangar) is a lil grindy but vastly better than "some other fighter jet games" *cough gaijin cough* in all, it's very fun and satisfying to play!

Game is very good and engaging, I'm impressed by graphics and minor details ... I love how we get random maps so that the players don't dominate a single map....I would love if you guys can add 1. voice chat 2. Button layout customisation option 3. There should be more ways to earn aircraft credit or you can give some missions occasionally that can give you some aircraft credits.... These would make it more interesting and enhance the experience...

This is a good game, very addictive, it one problem I've had consistently is after a few match, both in deathmatch and air superiority I would have connection issues, and this could repeat multiple times before I get into a match. What would happen is I would queue into the match and everything would seem fine, I would get to the map picture with the type of match and then get sent to a reconnect screen after that.

A really good game tbh. Graphics are neat, physics are fine and the vapour condensation on wings is cool. Although I feel that grind is forever, we don't get rewarded as much.fights are pretty boring, the same map, no ground targets. BIGGEST FLAW IS MATCHMAKING. HOW DO YOU EXPECT A MIG21 with short range infrared missiles TO DEFEAT A F35 WITH active RADAR MISSILES AND FAR SUPERIOR SPEED! Please improve matchmaking and add new modes. I had leveled up my F5 to 8, still in need 5k silver for a mod!

I am honestly surprised. The game runs great (I'm on a good phone, but you can change the graphics), and for a mobile game, it's gorgeous. It's less P2W than its competitors. You can purchase its battle pass equivalent for free if you save up the currency for it. Great designs as well, reasonably realistic too.

Greed has reared its ugly head in this game. New updates intoduce new features but they are of course hidden behind paywalls so F2P players, might as well forget about utilizing them. Also with blackmarket aircraft now costing as much as $150 I begin to wonder what the point is. The wallet warriors will always dominate here. It was once possible to be competitive as a F2P player but no longer. If you want to advance in any significant way be prepared to spend a ton of cash.

Really enjoyed this game. However, it kept disconnecting from the server and reconnecting. Then I would find out I had been shot down twice or come back right in front of a mountain and crash. Also, don't believe it when it says that a lower level can beat a higher level. I was one of the higher levels and had a minimum kill ratio of 2:1 on lower level planes. Did like the changing missions, the sceneros, and team play.

Gameplay is awesome. The graphics are good and so is the physics. But the grind, for a mobile game, is absolutely sickening. The game is not at all rewarding and every match feels like a penalty because of so little xp gain per game. Not to mention the in-game currency is tough to get. A pay-to-enjoy game which is a waste given the game's potential

Its an enjoyable and fast-paced aerial combat game that keeps you engaged with its exciting dogfights and visually appealing graphics. The controls are intuitive, making it easy for players to jump in and start flying. Some occasional hangups and lags which can disrupt the experience. You will find yourself up against higher-level planes, making battles feel unbalanced, but still, the best 5v5 dogfight out there.

It was a fun decent game to play, but something with the last update and now everything is messed up . None of my missiles work correctly. I even tried to contact them about the issue but never got a response back. Don't waste your time and save your money. Each update they say they fixed the issue, but nothing was fixed. Now the games lags all the time , you lose control and then die. Radar is a hit and miss. No in-game support and a list of complaints on Discord.

"Metal Storm is an impressive game with stunning graphics and engaging gameplay. I truly enjoy playing it and appreciate the effort put into its design. However, I’ve noticed occasional network issues and lag, which can disrupt the overall experience. Addressing these technical challenges would make the game even more enjoyable. Looking forward to future updates that enhance performance. Great work so far!"

Mostly fun. The mechanics are broken. Flares will work on radar guided / hunter missiles for your enemy but never for you. Chaff never seems to work. Good luck being a low level as well matched with higher levels. "Skill of the pilot" certainly helps, but there's naught all it can do to save you from being one-shot.

Overall, the game is nice with great controls. However, the matchmaking system and leveling for new players is ridiculous. They just throw everyone in together, leaving you without much of a chance of doing anything unless you spend to unlock better planes early on.

Excellent graphics and gameplay and you can advance without paying to win. Tactics can play a part as well, depending on the opposition aircraft. I just wish flying really low would take you off the radar, then that would add a greater deal of tactics to the game.

It is really a great game, even though it has just released. Great graphics, sounds, real planes, good maps etc. But, of course there are some problems, i understand because it has just release. 1. The plane goes out of control for no reason and stays uncontrollable. 2. Can't select the maps. 3. Modes are in the form of events. 4. There is unfair gameplay, players with higher levels are against players with low levels. I would love if the problems are fixed. This is my favorite game.

The game is a great game but the support is pathetic. They say to go on discord only to be told to "don't play if you don't like it". You hit the 'fault' button after each game and again nothing. Every game you keep getting the red and orange rings if server death, no missiles hit, the plane flies itself and one hit kills you. Impossible to play especially during competetions. Again a great game but impossible to play with the above mentioned faults.

Games riddled with flaws, it's a shame because it has a ton of potential. At first when you start out, it's competitive and fair, and then all the sudden, you're in matches against jets that you have little change to compete against. Getting locked on by jets you cant even see is a prime example of that. The A-6 and A-10 aren't fighter jets so why are they even in this game. Have match formats that are suitable for those platforms. Thanks for the quick response but I un-installed your game.
