Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron is a mouse, keyboard, or gamepad-controlled 2D arcade shooter featuring antique planes fighting alien crafts.
The purpose is to perform missions and defeat aliens. You can fly as Americans or Germans. A ring around your plane's body indicates health. Power-ups appear in the screen corners, with the level progress meter at the upper left and your lives at the bottom. Losing all your health means losing a life, and losing all your lives means losing the game.
Before a mission in Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron, you can spend medals and upgrade points to improve your pilots' skills, equipment, and planes. You can handle one pilot or a squadron. After that, you can choose a task that unlocks more. Starting from the bottom, your planes will fly up. As attackers appear from all angles to shoot, you can move them freely. Medals and boxes provide your active and passive weapons temporary power-ups as you defeat adversaries. If you finish the level, you'll get extra gifts and return to the hub.
The strengths and disadvantages of each American and German pilot can hinder your ability in-game. However, they have distinct powers that can offer you an edge throughout assignments. As you develop, you can tackle harder missions for bigger rewards and new planes for your pilots.
Even on easy missions in Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron, the aliens will overwhelm you with numbers. You need move to escape enemy fire and adversaries. Don't let collectibles tempt you into risky situations; prioritize survival.
