About This Game

In a world two decades past the Soviet collapse where dwindling oil reserves fuel global conflict, players command Stern's Wildcats, a hardened mercenary air squadron navigating a landscape of corporate warfare, rogue dictators, and institutional corruption. From the cockpit of cutting-edge F-16 fighters, pilots must undertake over sixty increasingly demanding missions, balancing the demands of survival and profit in a volatile geopolitical environment where yesterday's allies become tomorrow's enemies. As commander of an outfit with a storied 86% operational success rate, the player must manage both the tactical demands of fast-paced dogfighting and the strategic pressures of keeping their elite crew alive and profitable in a world spiraling toward chaos.
