Sopwith

Sopwith is a reimagining of the 1984 DOS game. You pilot a World War I biplane across a scrolling battlefield, avoiding enemy fire, strafing ground targets and bombing factories, tanks and fuel depots. You manage your fuel, ammunition and bombs while fighting for air superiority, using loops, stalls and flaps and pushing your engine to its limits.

Game modes

Novice Mode removes enemy planes so you can focus on ground targets and learn the controls. In Solo Mode, you face a battlefield of ground defenses and must destroy every target to advance. VS Computer adds an AI-controlled rival biplane for dogfights while you complete bombing objectives. Online Multiplayer lets you challenge a friend over Steam in head-to-head aerial combat, using deterministic lockstep networking.

Eight levels

The game has eight levels of increasing difficulty, with tougher defenses, more aggressive tanks and a smarter AI opponent.

Battlefield tools and audio

A radar display at the top of the screen tracks the enemy, ground targets and incoming threats. Sounds are generated procedurally at runtime to recreate the original PC speaker audio.
