Ground of Aces Early Access Gameplay | Base Building & First Flight Mission!
0Welcome to another gameplay episode from Darthvegan! Today, we're diving into the early access version of Ground of Aces by Blindflug Studios. This strategic WW2 airbase builder launches into Early Access on July 10, and I’ve got an exclusive early look thanks to the devs.
In this first episode, we build our base from scratch, assign jobs to the crew, manage resources, struggle with morale (and bathrooms!), and eventually launch our very first air mission... with less than stellar results.
💥 Expect:
Base building chaos and comedy
Crew mismanagement shenanigans
Runway construction and shelter disasters
First aircraft delivery and mission attempt
Lessons in morale, confidence, and the importance of chairs
🛠 ️ If you enjoy colony sims like RimWorld or Oxygen Not Included, and you're into aviation history, Ground of Aces will be right up your runway.

In Ground of Aces, you build and micromanage a World War II air base that is inhabited by a diverse cast of pilots and crew members. While you can play Ground of Aces in a never-ending free build mode, the Theatre Campaigns will give you specific glimpses into World War II and the challenges air bases and their crews had to face, such as the story of the Battle of Britain. It is inspired by free form base builder games like Rimworld and Going Medieval and history strategy games like Hearts of Iron IV. The art style will pay homage to the “ligne claire” style of Franco-Belgian comics like Biggles and Buck Danny.
Thanks to Blindflug studios for the free EA key!
