About the Game

FLY LOW. FLY FAST. FLY HARD.


FLY HARD is an action-packed, top-down rogue-lite aerial combat game. It'll put you in the hot seat of state-of-the-art fighter aircraft inspired by real-life jets. You'll be taking on an entire enemy air force single-handedly. Buy and upgrade new weapons for your fighter between attack waves. Complete objectives in the story mode or survive as long as you can in an endless mode.

ARCADE WITH A DASH OF REALISM


While FLY HARD's arcade-style gameplay will play out like an airborne power fantasy, there are still some more realistic aspects of flight you'll have to keep an eye on, such as:

Altitude Simulation
Ammo Count
Fuel Management
Flares and ECM (Electronic Counter-Measures)
Stalling
Fuselage, Wing, and Engine Damage

RELEASE AND DLC


Currently, FLY HARD is targeting a Q1 2025 release. The amount of launch content will depend on the success of the Kickstarter campaign but will be no less than 5 planes, 10 maps, and 15 weapons. The game will also launch with at least two major game modes. Post-launch, the game will receive no less than $15 worth of DLC, mostly if not all in the form of additional aircraft. Those who pledge $25 or more will receive all DLC as it is released.
