Take the role of a fighter pilot in Strangereal, a fictional world caught in a war between rival nations. The campaign follows your missions as new aircraft and unmanned technology shape the conflict.
Fly fast, arcade-style sorties against targets in the air, on land, and at sea. Missions include dogfights, defense operations, and flights that call for stealth or careful navigation through canyons and other hazards.
Choose from a range of aircraft and equip them with different weapons and parts. Earn points on missions to unlock planes and upgrades, then replay missions to try other loadouts. Multiplayer offers team battles and free-for-all dogfights.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its fast, accessible arcade dogfights, cinematic mission moments, and varied aircraft. The soundtrack and visuals are recurring highlights, and some players enjoy unlocking planes and replaying missions. Other reviewers find certain mission constraints frustrating and the story difficult to follow.
