Today’s Spotlight is AFTERBURN, an arcade-inspired air combat game by MorfeoDev that just left Early Access.
AFTERBURN is designed to be a simple and easy to pick up arcade game that aims to deliver gamers their daily dose of aerial dogfights. The game offers daily mini-campaigns that players can compete in to gain leaderboard fame. You can check out the launch trailer above.
AFTERBURN is available on Windows PC via Steam for $9.99.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
As you can probably tell from this and my previous game, Furious Angels, I like flying things. I also like to make arcade-like games that are easy to pick up and gets you right into action with just a few keystrokes.
It is also hard to find a flight sim where dogfights are as fun as watching a Su-35 doing a cobra or watching the movie Stealth.
And that is what I’m trying to do with AFTERBURN: super quick arcade air combat. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
