Overview

About this game

This is not a traditional flight combat game.
It is a strategy game built around the tension of carrier deck operations, air wing management, and wave-based strikes.

Build and optimize your carrier’s deck on a square grid. Manage elevators, parking spots, launch flow, repair capacity, and deck throughput. In battle, spend limited operation points to deploy aircraft, launch strike waves, assign escorts, repair critical deck sections, and keep your sortie cycle alive while the frontline shifts in the airspace between both carriers.

Aircraft enter your deck cycle as cards. Different airframes and loadouts define their roles.

Key Features

  • A unique carrier deck operations theme
    Focused on the flight deck itself, not a conventional airbase.

  • Deck building, deck planning, and deck management
    Construct your flight deck while also building your aircraft “deck” in roguelike fashion.

  • Wave-based strikes and shifting air superiority
    Organize escorts, maintain the frontline, and time your attacks.

  • Recovery, repair, and sortie-cycle management
    Launching aircraft is easy. Recovering them safely is the real challenge.

  • High-pressure operational decision-making
    When the deck is damaged, queues are backing up, and the frontline is collapsing, adapt or lose control.
