Project Wingman

Campaign mode follows the story of the war set on alternate Earth between the United Cascadian Republic and Pacific Federation through a silent protagonist with the callsign Monarch, a mercenary pilot. Conquest mode has the player conquer Cascadia in a rogue-lite game mode by conquering territories, buying new planes, and recruiting allies. Project Wingman is a combat flight action game similar to the Ace Combat series in which the player flies a combat plane into battle and destroy enemy targets. The player can choose from a wide selection of planes inspired by real-life combat planes and equip the plane with special weapons. Virtual reality and hands on throttle-and-stick are supported. The game offers the player two game modes: campaign and conquest. Campaign follows a story in which the mercenary pilot Monarch fights for the Cascadians in their war of independence against the Federation in a future Earth devastated by natural disaster. Conquest provides the player roguelite and strategy gameplay in which the player faces enemy waves, manages resources, and conquer the map. In campaign mode, the player completes twenty-one missions where the objectives can range from destroying enemy planes, annihilating ground forces and bases, and protecting allies. When the player completes a mission, they receive money which can be spent on buying new planes. In conquest mode, the player starts out with basic combat planes and must complete 43 missions in a single life. If the player dies, the player loses everything except prestige and planes bought before. The player starts out with trainer variants of the F-4 Phantom II and MiG-21 inspired jets. Completing missions allow the player to earn in-game currency which can be used to purchase other aircraft.Access to some of the planes require the player to finish specific campaign missions with some of the best planes available only when campaign is finished, The difficulty or scores achieved during missions doesn't matter for unlocking aircraft, aside of being source of money. The game takes place in an indeterminate future of an alternate-history Earth afflicted by a worldwide volcanic cataclysm centuries ago that uncovered a valuable geothermal energy resource called "cordium" but also created multiple exclusion zones across the planet. In the year 432 AC , the Pacific Federation, a multinational political union based around Australia, east and southern Asia and the western parts of North America, has control over the cordium deposits across the Ring of Fire.
