Copter and Sky Reviews

It looked very fun as a fan of drones but I was dissipated by the lack of worlds and controls that could not be changed to my liking. VERY BAD DO NOT BUY -9000/0 IGN. This is what I said when I asked for a refund this game is ****

Until a company sells me a working drone that I can fly while looking through the camera for this price, I will be using this. My first video of this is 3 minutes long, I was flying for over a half hour. I only stopped flying so I could make a video and type this review. I would also appreciate if someone would feed those nice dogs we played with. Watch the video, see the doggies. Edit - Jan 2017: VR Support and other changes make this even better than it already was. If You have any interest in drones or semi-wild dogs who don't like drones, You should get this.

This is NOT a quadcopter simulator! This is a game that has controls that have been simplified so none quadcopter pilots can control it. It's a fun little game for 99 cents. Maybe the creator should think about adding a simulator mode and rasing the price a little.

Note: This is a non-VR review. The graphics are way too simple for my taste. When rotating the camera often weird glitches happened and I felt lost. The music was great.

I guess I was being too optimistic about this game. Then again I never really watched the in store trailer showing the gameplay either, at least after the fact I took a good look at the actual gameplay. Literally the flight model is a hexacopter along 3 axis of movement with linear dampening to show that the hexacopter is slowing down after hitting the forward button. The game is in no way a proper representation of the drone hobby rather it's really a casual objective arcade game you would typically expect from a flash game instead. A quick search on Google gave me: FPV Freerider, Liftoff, HotProps, DRL Sim, AeroSim RC, DroneSimulation UK, Rotorcross, UnrealFPV. The first one, FPV Freerider already seems leagues better than what's here. UnrealFPV appears to be TBA as of writing, but is also being developed on the Unreal 4 Engine Happy flying, I guess

This game caught my eye at first ... so i bought it 4.99 cheap as... i like supporting indie game's like this one... sweet concept on the game i can fly a rc copter without paying alot for a descent toy fly around my back yard... review the game... well if your into trying to control a rc copter with back to front controls ... a xbox 360 has 12 buttons and yet the buttons are useless and there no way to remap the controls.... so im in free fly mode to get some practice and OMG battery starts at 45% and last 4minutes i think i should go buy a shitty toy copter wait 8hours for it to charge and use it for 5minutes... i realise this game is new... so my honest opinion for this game is dont buy it watch youtube videos of games before wasting 5$. im going to keep this game for the fact that the developers need input and more ideas.... Number one on the list is increase battery level to not restric users to 4 minutes of flight.... Number two o the list should be a feature to allow customization and a bigger battery clearer controls

It's not bad. My only complaint ( and I feel it's a big one) is that I can not change the controls to match the control layout I use on my actual drone. I really wanted to use this game as a way to practice the controls for my real drone when I couldn't go fly the real deal etc. If they would allow you to configure the contols to your liking, this would get top marks from me. until then, it's a decent attempt at a drone sim.

This is a cool game, please make it also a simulator. -have a mode where the flyer is standing in a spot on the ground watching the copter from below and please have the option to not exaggerate the cameras view when turning besides that, its a great game at a good price

I build / pilot drones. This game has nearly nothing real about it. For the sub four dollar price tag, its worth it as a time killer. its a basic 3 axis arcade time killer with very little in the way of realisim. Not recomended for anything more than a quick 20 minute time killer while you wait for your real batts to charge up. If you want a simple, arcade feel slight "sim" (I use this work VERY cautiously) , this is it. If you want to build drones/pilot/get used to physics... this is nothing you want to pick up. Overall a "mehh". Not recommended for most. But I do know some little kids that would like this since they're too small to play with the real ones.

it's ok... it is worth the low price you pay for it so you can't be too harsh on the game but I think a little more customisation of the controls (eg the ability to swap the sticks around on a controller as in most games the right thumb stick is "look around" and the left is move) and you see the game get a larger following. I'm sure after a few refinements I'll be able to change my review to positive... not a waste of money.
