LAUNCH!
SteamAbout LAUNCH!
This is not a traditional flight combat game. It is a strategy game built around the tension of carrier deck operations, air wing management, and wave-based strikes.
Build and optimize your carrier’s deck on a square grid. Manage elevators, parking spots, launch flow, repair capacity, and deck throughput. In battle, spend limited operation points to deploy aircraft, launch strike waves, assign escorts, repair critical deck sections, and keep your sortie cycle alive while the frontline shifts in the airspace between both carriers.
Aircraft enter your deck cycle as cards. Different airframes and loadouts define their roles.
