Features

What is in the game today. Counts are from the current build.

Level-up cards: Phoenix Feather, legendary, and Dragon Heart, mythic

Sortie 01

Runs and level‑up cards

Every sortie is a new run. You level up, and the game offers three cards, from Common up to Mythic (Mythic only drops from chests and airdrops). Reroll or ban a card when the offer is wrong. Weapons fork at level 3 and level 6, so the same gun can become two different weapons. 79 weapons and 63 combos are waiting to be found.

Sortie 02

Aircraft and hangar

35 aircraft, from the starting Hornet to the Spitfire, Corsair, Mosquito and Lancaster, plus early jets and rotorcraft. Each plane has its own signature gun, handling and talent tree. Every gun and item you pick is bolted onto the plane you see in the hangar, from MK I to MK V.

Sortie 03

Bosses and worlds

23 bosses across 34 worlds. Each boss has phases and its own attack patterns, and some waves send two at once. Worlds are cleared at wave 10, then you can replay them at ten Heat levels. Clear the five founding worlds, then push to Heat 5, and one more boss the crews only call The Old Man may be waiting.

Gunship raids

Seven flying fortresses, from an armoured airship to an aircraft carrier in the sky. You do not just empty a health bar. You knock off turrets and engines one by one. Fly the daily raid, or stack several gunships at once in Gunship Alley. Every gunship you down earns a statue.

The airbase at night: hangar bay, workshop, command center and armory

Sortie 05

Airbase and Black Market

Build up to 28 buildings. Each is a permanent perk for every run, and some keep producing while the app is closed. Recruit pilots with their own perks. Climb all 29 army ranks, from Private to General of the Army: every promotion raises a new piece on the Rank Field beside your base, from a pup tent to a five-star monument with eternal flames. Now and then a smuggler's truck rolls in with a Black Market that takes only contraband you earned in battle.

Co-op and friends

Fly with a friend over the internet. Add pilots to your friends list, see who is online and invite them with one tap. No room codes. The host picks the map, the mode and the Heat in the lobby: endless, campaign and the other modes all play in co-op. Revive each other in the air. Quick chat uses preset phrases and emoji, no free text. Co-op runs go to their own duo leaderboard.

Leaderboards and Heat

Optional online rankings for best score, highest wave, every plane, every Heat level, the daily raid and the weekly operation. Heat is set per map, so every world can be pushed further on its own, and each row shows the mode it was flown in. Pick a callsign and fly under your country's flag. No account, no e-mail. Turn it off in Settings. Every week, Even Footing puts everyone in the air without upgrades, so only skill counts.

Fair play

No ads, no subscriptions, and nothing you can buy gives power. Download it free to try; one Full Version unlock on Google Play opens the whole game (€3.99, €2.99 at launch until 4 January 2027). Pilots from the closed test got the full game for free. The single-player game works offline. Cloud save through Google Play Games is optional. The game is available in seven languages and has colourblind mode, HUD size and left-handed controls.

The storm drags in a few machines from other wars: early jets and rotorcraft share the sky with the Spitfire. The rest of the war is grounded.
