Contrail Aces

Take to the skies. Break the armada.

The Iron Ascendancy came out of the clouds with armored airships and fighters by the thousand. One battered carrier held its ground. You fly as Contrail Lead, the newest pilot of Contrail Squadron, and the sky isn’t going to win itself back.

The game

A fast top-down arcade dogfighter with a pulp war-comic story told in briefings, comic-style chapter cards and in-flight radio chatter. The world is drawn in 3D, with Classic 2D a tap away in Settings.

A full campaign

Twenty chapters, each with its own theater, weather and boss. Escort convoys, defend villages, photograph enemy sites, rescue downed pilots and duel named enemy aces.

Your squadron flies with you

Biscuit, your wingman, flies every sortie, keeps score against you and never stops talking. Teacup and Toast join as the war grows, and rival aces like Razor, Hammer and Hotshot talk back.

Bosses with weak points

Burst the Leviathan’s gas cells, catch the Inferno with its bomb bay open, knock out the Sentinel’s shield pylons, sever the Hydra’s heads before they regrow, and take on the Dreadnought in three stages.

34 aircraft, plus your own

Prop fighters, gull-wings, delta jets and scramjets, each with its own perk, and six legendaries won through challenges. In the Workshop, build a prototype from frames, wings, engines, guns and paint.

Depth that keeps going

Weapons from twin guns to railguns, flamethrowers and arc guns, gear with set bonuses, pilot ranks with a three-branch skill tree, and eight active abilities.

Harder means different

On Hard and Insane, enemies and bosses get new attacks, not just more health. When the campaign is done, Endless Survival and a randomized Endless mode with mutators are waiting.
