DRAGON ACES: dragon dogfights for up to 10 players

How to play

Steer with the mouse

Your dragon banks and pulls toward the white aim circle. The gold nose reticle shows where your fireballs will fly.

Fireballs

Left click or J. Shoot at the gold lead marker to hit dragons that are moving.

Flame breath

Right click or K. Short range and brutal, but it burns heat fast.

Seekers

Keep a dragon near your aim for a second to lock on, then press F. Seekers home in and hit hard.

Barrel roll

Q / E. A fast sideways dodge. At close range it shakes off an incoming seeker.

Energy

Dive to gain speed, climb to spend it. Below about 110 km/h you stall. W beats harder, S brakes, Shift boosts.

Heat

Every shot adds heat. At 100 you overheat and cannot fire until the gauge cools to 40.

Clouds

Inside a cloud you vanish from radar and cannot be locked. You can't see much either.

Breed ability

R. Ember drops a napalm wake, Frost unleashes a Frost Nova, Storm chains lightning between foes, Venom lobs an acid cloud. Kills shorten the cooldown.

Team Deathmatch

Gold against Crimson, first flight to 20 kills. No friendly fire. Public skies alternate with free-for-all; pick a mode for private skies and practice.

Ember shrines

Fly through the glowing orb above a sky island to heal 40 HP. It recharges for 25 seconds.
