Open beta: all eight campaigns are free during testing.

Your squadron is new, your plane is second-hand, and the contracts don’t pay for excuses.

Bounty Skies: Merc Squadron is a retro pixel-art, top-down air combat shooter with a mercenary’s life around it. Take contracts, fly propeller-era warplanes, and earn your pay. Repair your battered aircraft, upgrade it, and prepare for the next sortie. Just remember: bringing your plane home means keeping it for another day.

🎮 FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT Play the whole game with a gamepad — every dogfight, every menu, from the hangar to the bar. Touch controls are available too.

IN THE AIR

Dogfight raiders, escort bombers through flak, strafe enemy guns, photograph hostile positions, and hunt down aces with a price on their heads. Every fight plays out differently. Enemy formations change, unexpected opponents appear, and a routine mission can turn into a desperate flight home. Fly with a wingman at your side. Each has a temper, and they progress as they fly with you. Straightforward arcade controls, lively dogfights, and challenging enemy aces.

ON THE GROUND

Between sorties, return to your base and visit hangar, shop, bar, and pick contracts. Buy planes, from nimble fighters to heavy fighters with rear gunners, and fit them with better engines, armour, weapons, and equipment. Meet the pilots in the bar, recruit a wingman, and build your reputation. Earn rewards, repair and improve your aircraft, and make every successful return count. Bring your plane home to keep it and its upgrades for the next sortie.

EIGHT CAMPAIGNS
