About the game

What you do in a play session

August 1940: the German Luftwaffe launches its largest air offensive against Britain in 'London's Burning'. In solo mode, you command two RAF fighters to defend southeast England, balancing micro-scale tactics and operations of the Battle of Britain. Every decision counts: protect airfields, radar stations, and London from Nazi bombers or watch the country burn. In two-player mode, one plans German raids, while in the cooperative challenge, you and a wingman battle the system... and each other! With 6-34 day scenarios (2-8 hours playtime), each game is a masterclass in tense, strategic history. Pro tip: keep those Spitfires fueled and eyes on the radar!
