What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 179 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mostly Positive (409 of 541 positive).
Players enjoy the game's orky charm and humor, but many find it repetitive and buggy. [1][2][3][4] Some praise the fun arcade flying and customization, while others criticize the camera and controls. [5][6][7][8] The game is seen as best for Warhammer 40k Ork fans, especially on sale. [3][9][10]

The game is simple arcade shooting fun, never takes itself seriously, and the Orks have their usual goofy charm. Unfortunately, the camera is awful and ruins the game. Any time you ever move your plane, the camera zooms in slightly, meaning that any single adjustment you make to your plane - up, down, left right, anything at all - will have the camera lurching in and out constantly. It's terribly annoying and would …

This game is proof Ork players don't care about quality, and I say this as an Ork player. We just want stuff with Orks. This game is a mobile game port and it shows. You'll hear the same song constantly. The mission objectives are the same few things: destroy x turrets, y vehicles, z buildings, or the boss. If it isn't destroy them then it's defend your buildings or people for anywhere from 6 minutes to 10 minutes. …

Fun and simple arcade flying shooter. Surprising amount of accurate 40k lore hidden in here. I had fun with it, but good lord is it broken. This machine has a Gforce 4070 Ti and a Ryzen 5. I probably crashed 30 times playing through a 7 hour game. The end boss fight alone crashed 10 times. I managed to finish by setting the graphics to 1998 style 1024x768 on low. You probably shouldn't bother with this game, but …

This is a game for Warhammer 40k superfans only. If you aren’t already invested in the lore and the specific charm of the Orks, you’ll likely find the repetitive gameplay and dated technical state hard to justify. However, if you are a fan of the faction, it’s a blast—just make sure you pick it up on sale. Don't pay full price for it.

Mediocre graphics, menu styles and overall feeling of clunkiness are something that followed my short experience. Simple objectives and enemies definitely didn't help change the feeling much. The game felt dated from the get go, but it's not something I'd give a negative review over, can be chucked up to preference. What I will give a negative review for is the overall audio quality, variety of music and voicelines..…
