A friend recommended this. I had modest expectations and the game has exceeded them. I used to only play RedOrchestra2 online, but I liked this game enough that I have added it to my regular online gaming diet.
Pros: -Great Co-op gameplay, on par with and sometimes better than Left4Dead. -No pay-to-win, and no level bonuses, so newcomers have same capabilities as veterans. -A friendly mature community, mostly (at least better than CoD etc.) -easy to learn, difficult to master. -epic battles with up to 32 players divided across 8 airships (4v4).
Cons: -Indie game (low budget feel), with some rough edges. -How much fun you have depends very much on who you play with - you will meet some totally incompetent players on the same ship as you, who can ruin the fun. Example: 12 year olds who take captain role and don't know how to fly and disconnect the first moment the ship inevitably starts to lose. -If you like to be able to "go it alone" without relying on others, this game is not for you. Teamwork or die. -The tutorials for beginners could be better. You will have to learn a lot of things the hard way. -Dated graphics (but it still "looks and feels good"). -Slight lack of content (not too bad). -Games sometimes take a long time to start (waiting in lobby for other players to ready up).
This is a truly great game to play with your friends, otherwise its still decent, but not as good.
