Wing Fighter 9+

It’s good.

Yes there are ads, of course. There are ads everywhere now it’s the downfall of modern gaming, but, at least in this game it’s up to you. Also they are useful, of course I’m still testing it out before I pay. I don’t pay at first because I want to see how I’m treated”before” paying. Of course if you are like me and mute your phone and learned to live with the ads it’s not so bad. In short you can pick and choose what ads you want to watch and which ones you don’t. It’s a grind but it’s not a waste of your time. So sit back and relax it’s better then some of the other trash games I’ve wasted my time on :)

Not very good adverts

There are other apps with better ads than this one. The developers have opted for adverts that run for at least 30 seconds; often longer. They’re also very repetitive - I must have seen the slots one 50 times by now (and I’m no more inclined to download it than I was the 1st 49 times). Interestingly, for fleeting moments in between adverts there is actually a shooting game you can play. I didn’t get as long with it as I’d like, but then I suppose this is an advert app, not a game, but if another developer was to latch on to this idea and make an app that was just all game and no adverts, I’d probably be willing to pay for it. Anyway - I dream.

Deleting this app now because I’m tired of having to see the same adverts all the time.

(whilst the adverts are “optional” the game is technically unplayable without watching them. Rather than the adverts conferring “bonuses” (as the devs would have you believe) what they actually do is patch flawed game balancing, where the game has been rendered almost impossible if you elect to skip the adverts).

Developer Response ,

Dear pilots, in-game ads can give you additional rewards and are not mandatory to watch. You can choose whether to watch ads according to your needs.

Time consuming, dire progression

I’m a very stubborn game player and will keep trying and trying until I complete a game. I have been playing this game for months and months and after being sick on 18, now after several more months am stuck on 46. It doesn’t matter how many upgrades, stars, weapons or shards you are defeated. It takes around 40 minutes before you even get to the game just to play all the sub challenges to get extra upgrades. But it’s just endless, and when you have upgraded the game just gets harder so you are no further forward. It’s a time black hole, designed to keep you trying to progress. Do something else with your time, not worth investing your effort here, you will just get fed up and be annoyed you spent so much time playing only to get stuck. Plus, when the game pauses for upgrades, and you continue time and again enemies lock on with lasers giving you zero time to move. It completely unfair how it’s designed.
