Chocks away, pilots!

Rogue Aces Deluxe is an arcade open world aerial combat roguelike coming later this year. It's a greatly enhanced version of the hit console game made especially for PC - and in the Steam Autumn Games Festival you can get a taste of the action early! Download the Rogue Aces Deluxe demo during the Steam Games Festival and you'll get a sample of the campaign, plus a sample of one of our local multiplayer modes.

The Demo Campaign

In our demo you can play a special mini-campaign where you must singlehandedly dominate all enemy forces on a procedurally generated island battlefield, then take on the fearsome Baron with his dastardly weaponry. You will take on tanks, bombers, blimps, plus countless squadrons of enemy fighter planes as you carve your path through the procedurally generated open world environment blowing up everything in your path with a big HUZZAH!
You'll be able to choose how you fly with a choice of keyboard, mouse or joypad controls. The deep control system lets you throttle up and down or boost while pulling off aerial acrobatics - and allows for perfect pinpoint manual landings (if you can master them!) This representative slice of gameplay would represent about 5% of the campaign mode, which itself is only a fraction of the content of the full game! Plus, because the terrain and missions are randomly generated, you'll never experience the same demo twice.

Local Deathmatches

The demo also has a sneak peek of one of the 1-4 local multiplayer modes 'Pure Deathmatch'. This is a all against all fight for air supremacy using good old fashioned derring-do! And loads of bullets.

Tips and Tricks

• You can eject from your plane mid air, land on an enemy plane, and steal it. This replenishes your fuel and all ordinance. It's a good thing to do if you can pull it off!
• Capture an enemy base by destroying most of it, then landing on it. Now it's yours to refuel and re-arm at!
• Don't be afraid to fly right along the ground and pummell buildings and enemies with everything you've got! Rogue Aces is a game about playing dirty.
• Learn how to manually land. You can use 'autoland' but that will reset your score multiplier.

Message from the Developers

This is a really exciting time for us, after the success of Rogue Aces on console we got almost daily messages asking for Rogue Aces to be ported to PC. It's taken us a few years and the help of our friends at Projector Studios (hi Jay and Arron!) but we've delivered the best version of Rogue Aces available. There's bigger explosions, a splash of gore, plus we've trimmed away the some niggling issues to make the definitive package. And the additional multiplayer modes are a heap of fun to play, we certainly enjoyed playing them while we created them! We really hope you all have fun with this demo, let us know what you think! - Charlie & Mike at Infinite State Games
