Fighter-Assault is an on-rails arcade shooter with procedurally generated levels. In the desert area where the game takes place, there is an acute shortage of resources - and a struggle is unfolding between two paramilitary factions for them. The player, in the role of a pilot of a light multi-role aircraft, must make a combat mission, hitting the maximum number of targets and returning to base. The player will face stationary and mobile anti-aircraft guns, airships and fighters that will try to prevent him from hitting supply and fuel depots, which are priority targets.
The player's task is to hit all targets during a combat mission and avoid the aircraft being hit by anti-aircraft artillery and enemy aircraft. The cursor is controlled by the mouse or keyboard (arrows or WASD) on a PC and by swiping on mobile devices. Shooting is done with the left mouse button (or Ctrl or Spacebar) on a PC and by clicking on the crosshair button on the left side of the screen on mobile devices.
