Polish indie developer Blindfug Studios has announced the Early Access release of Ground of Aces on PC via Steam. Ground of Aces is a WWII base-building strategy game that allows you to step into the role of a British air base commander during the Battle of Britain. Ground of Aces arrives just in time on the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and offers a unique view into World War II.
Check out the Launch Trailer below:
In Grounds of Aces, you will build, expand, and defend your air base while managing pilots, aircraft, and critical missions to help the war effort. The game highlights the challenges faced by air bases and their crews during battles. It takes its inspiration from different titles like RimWorld and Going Medieval along with some historical strategic games like Hearts of Iron IV. The art style of Ground of Aces pays homage to the ‘ligne claire’ style of Franco-Belgian comics like Biggles and Buck Danny.
Executive Producer Moritz Zumbüh comments:
I’m absolutely thrilled that we’re able to launch Ground of Aces into Early Access right on time for the 85th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain. This game is a true passion project for our team – it brings together our love for aviation, World War II, and the base-building genre in a unique title. The demo already received fantastic feedback, and we’re excited to continue developing Ground of Aces together with the community during Early Access. We can’t wait to hear what the fans think!
The Early Access version of Ground of Aces will feature the British Royal Air Force as its first playable faction, and it comes with 14 iconic British aircraft that you can collect and manage for your base. As development progresses, the developer will release additional updates that will expand the scope and depth of the game. Key features of the game include:
- Engulf yourself in the Second World War: Lead a Royal Air Force airfield during the Battle of Britain, collect iconic World War II aircraft, and defend your base from aerial threats.
- A base builder at heart: Design and expand your air base with complete freedom. Your base is laid out by your own choices and thus unique.
- A dream for aviation enthusiasts: Take command of a fleet of historically significant aircraft. Carefully select the right planes for each mission, maintain your fleet, and ensure your base is always ready for action.
- Your crew’s personal stories: Your crew is more than just numbers—they are individuals shaped by war. Witness their struggles and triumphs, and feel the weight of every loss.
Ground of Aces is now available on PC via Steam in Early Access. If you are interested in trying it out, you can head over to its official Steam page and get involved with the game right away. Your feedback will help shape the future of the title. The developer will release additional details on the title at a later date.
