Heroes in the Sky - Review
Heroes in the Sky is a free to play MMO published by GameCampus. The game is set in World War II and you are able to join either the Allied Forces or the Axis. You can both PVE and PVP, so anyone will find something they'll like to do, whether they want to engage friends into dogfights, or they would rather play in co-op. Since there aren't many MMOs of this genre out there, I decided to give it a try. Due to my love for shooters I thought this could be fun and I was right.

Cons:
-
Terrible, terrible UI, clunky and not intuitive
-
All text is translated however some of the conversations you can hear are left in the original language
-
Cash shop has some pay-to-win items, such as premium planes and equipment that changes the performance of your aircraft, however the game is very much skill based

-
Very low quest limit in your log (five)
-
You can upgrade planes but the success of the upgrade is random; if you fail it you lost that upgrade slot, and you only have 5; there might be some items in the cash shop that prevent failure, but I haven't checked
