Become the Commander in Ground of Aces
Blindflug Studios’ Ground of Aces has landed on Steam Early Access, offering players a fresh take on wartime strategy and base building. Released last month, the game transports players to the early days of World War II, where they take charge of a remote military air base. Available now for $24.99, it blends detailed management gameplay with a unique artistic style.
In Ground of Aces, the focus is not just on aircraft and missions but on the people who make them possible. Players oversee the daily operations of the base, from preparing sorties and dispatching pilots to defending against enemy raids. Success depends not only on tactical decisions but also on maintaining the physical and mental well-being of the crew.
The base building system provides complete creative control, allowing players to design every wall, hangar, and runway to suit their strategy. Each decision impacts the efficiency and readiness of the base, encouraging thoughtful planning and adaptation as challenges arise.
History buffs and aviation enthusiasts will appreciate the game’s roster of authentic aircraft, including nimble Hurricanes and legendary Spitfires. Each plane demands its own infrastructure and strategic deployment, adding depth to the management experience.
Visually, Ground of Aces stands apart with an art style inspired by Franco-Belgian comic traditions. Influences from artists such as Hergé and Bergèse are evident in the clean lines, hand-drawn details, and vivid colors, lending the wartime setting a distinctive, expressive charm.
Combining strategic depth, historical authenticity, and artistic flair, Ground of Aces offers a perspective on World War II that celebrates both aviation history and the human stories behind it. For those seeking a thoughtful mix of management, storytelling, and style, the runway is open.
