Rogue Aces Deluxe

Rogue Aces Deluxe is an air-combat game about liberating the islands from The Baron and his pilots. You take on waves of enemies across procedurally generated islands, with one life and three planes. The action has no loading screens, and each run changes the battlefield.

The island campaign

You fight The Baron’s army on land, in the air and at sea as you reclaim your home islands. Dogfights combine with an aircraft control system that lets you throttle, stall and boost. You can attack with machine guns, bombs and rockets, or eject from your fighter and steal an enemy plane in mid-air. You can also parachute while throwing grenades, but need to land out of the enemy’s sight. Carrier landings are possible, though a failed landing ends in a crash.

Local deathmatch

Rogue Aces Deluxe adds local deathmatch for 1 to 4 players, with human or AI opponents. Its three modes are:

• Pure Deathmatch: fight one-on-one against human or AI planes in an air arena.
• Deluxe Deathmatch: battle with power-ups including a laser, chain gun, flame thrower and support blimps.
• Wing Commander: each player commands two AI wingmen.
