About This Game

Project Wingman is a combat flight action game with an emphasis on polished and refined gameplay, true-to-its-roots inspirations, and an engaging single player experience. Perfect for those who aren't looking for a simulator experience, with the ease of pick up and play, all the way to those who want a fast-paced challenging flight action game.

Dogfight, strike, and fly through combat zones based off an alternate history of Earth. Either over the cold waters of the Bering Strait, attacking tanks in the brutal environments of Yellowstone magma fields, or diving through the Redwoods to strike targets of opportunity in the Pacific Northwest, across the oceans, above the scarred lands of the world, this war will take you from exotic battlefield to exotic battlefield, all while going up against odds way above your pay grade.

Pure Combat Flight Action
Exotic weaponries such as railguns and geothermal-powered armaments will be ready to pluck you out of the sky if you're careless. Whether you are an attack aircraft pilot, skimming the ground with a gatling gun and rocket launchers attached to your wing, or an interceptor with long range, almost sniper-like missiles at your disposal, it will be up to you to prove yourself as an Ace pilot.


Conquest Mode
In Conquest Mode, fight in an uphill battle against various bosses and ace squadrons in a territory capture game, drawing elements from roguelikes and RPGs. Players will have to earn enough money to not only purchase new aircraft, but build a mercenary army of their own in order to take on waves of increasingly difficult opposition as they struggle to take on a myriad of changing missions.

Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality headsets will work in-game to put the player in the cockpit of aerial warfare, immersing themselves in head-swiveling combat. Combine this with full compatibility with HOTAS peripherals and custom axis curves, and you will be able to experience the game however you want, using any DirectInput supported peripheral you like.

Key Features:

  • Fly in varied and exciting scenarios and locations unlike you've ever seen before
  • Engaging single player campaign
  • Over 20 different aircraft and over 40 unique weapons at your disposal
  • Fight different kinds of adversaries such as giant mechanized fortresses and railgun cannons
  • Test your skills in Conquest mode and fight against hordes of adversaries
  • Want a different Conquest experience? - Adjust it with modifiers to your liking
  • Beautiful 3D Volumetric clouds rendered with TrueSKY
  • Fully rebindable controls and HOTAS compatibility with DirectInput support
  • VR Support

This is the absolute gold standard for what a "fan game" could aspire to be. The only things it lacks in comparison to its multi-million dollar "big brother" Ace Combat 7 is some polish and overall length and neither aspect brings the experience down at all. This game is fantastic. It differentiates itself by leaning a bit more to the arcady side of flight sims but hey, that makes dogfights with guns a lot more feasable and I like dogfights with guns. So, the gameplay is an absolute banger. What else is there? Graphics? Look at the screenshots, it looks nice. Music? It's awesome, I sincerely hope the ONE composer gets all the praise and career opportunities for making such a perfect soundtrack. Sound in general? Sounds pretty good. Story? If you like Ace Combat's war stories, you'll probably like this one. Voice acting? Just the right level of corny to bring levity to this bitter conflict between surprisingly not-sorry [strike]Canadians[/strike] Cascadians. Straight up 10/10, I can...

I had an absolute blast playing this game, what fantastic successor to the Ace Combat series. Frequently thrilling and gripping, with gorgeous visuals, a (largely) cool story, and a far wider variety of environments than I expected. PR makes a lot of great use out of its post-apocalyptic California setting, popping in cool volcanic areas that are the sort of thing you'd never seen in AC. I didn't dare hope Project Wingman would live up to the dream of carrying on the Ace Combat lineage, but it's done so, and done so with an abundance of style. I have now started on the DLC and am happy to say that it is exactly what I hope for with DLC: It continues the challenge incline of the campaign and tests what you've learned so far. Fantastic title, definitely recommend.

Quality is almost completely on par with Ace Combat, and the only differences are nitpicks. If it's on sale, just get it it. It's well worth full price regardless.

By far the best aircraft simulator game I have ever played. VR mode really perfects what is already a good flying experience. The music is amazing, the story is good, and the difficulty options don't disappoint. 10/10 Would recommend

This game although "not perfect," is perfect in my eyes. Its a game I come back to constantly when I'm heated over other games. The flight controls are super smooth and its just all around a fun game... like a game should be. 10/10 game more people should play it to experience monarch and driver

It blows my mind how any dev in the flying game genre can be so fucking out of touch. This is flying, we need VERY flexible keybind customization! I am baffled at how little this game lets you change. There isn't even a fucking mouse sensitivity slider. Something every game has had day one since the fucking og xbox. What a joke

Good core campaign. Great expansion campaign. Don't bother with the roguelite conquest mode- frustrating and near impossible even on the easiest settings. 7.5/10

It does not have a tutorial. Going into the first mission blindly given how complicated flying and deploying payload is just doesn't make sense.

Can't even launch the game without it shutting down my PC. Refunding. (aaand I owned the game for more than 2 weeks, meaning I can't refund EVEN THOUGH I NEVER GOT TO PLAY. God modern gaming is such a joke)
