Starwing Tactics
Command a mercenary squadron of starfighter pilots in this turn-based tactical RPG, where your orders unfold in cinematic dogfights. Take contracts, refit starfighters, forge elite aces, and send them into deadly engagements where losses are permanent and legends are made.
Starwing Tactics blends deep tactical combat and starfighter squadron management into a systems-driven tactical RPG featuring pilot permadeath and a procedural campaign.
Command a mercenary squadron of starfighter pilots on the war-torn fringes of civilized space - choose your contracts, manage your resources, and send your pilots into dangerous engagements where skill and tactical foresight determine who returns.
Tactical Depth & Real Consequences
Make high-stakes tactical decisions under pressure: positioning, facing, timing, weapon ranges, pilot abilities, and squadron coordination all matter. Victory comes from quick thinking, tactical judgment, and creative problem-solving, not just bigger guns. Every engagement will test you with tactical challenges and your pilots will pay the price for every mistake.
Pilot Permadeath & Squadron Drama
You don't just command sleek and deadly Starfighters, but the people inside them. Your pilots grow with you, suffer injuries, and can be lost forever. Even the most routine mission can become a story worth telling.
Your Squadron - Your Strategy
Acquire distinct starfighter chassis and customize their loadouts to unlock meaningful tactical options in combat. Build a squadron of complementary specialists: interceptors, missile boats, heavy hitters, scouts - and turn their combined strengths into a force greater than the sum of its parts.
Experiment with builds and adapt your squadron to counter new threats as the war evolves.
Your Squadron’s Survival Is Your Business
Travel between worlds and take on missions of varying risk and reward. Accepting a contract means committing your pilots to danger - so choose carefully. When money is tight and spare parts, missiles, and replacement pilots are hard to come by, which corners will you cut?
Your Choices - Your Story
Every campaign unfolds differently as you fight your way through a dynamic, procedurally generated war where rival aces survive, return, and remember you - turning the conflict into something personal. But the deeper you go, the harder it gets to ignore the feeling that this war isn't what it claims to be, and that something far more troubling lurks beneath the surface.
