About SkyInFlames
SkyInFlames delivers a real‑time tactical strategy experience focused on aerial combat. Players command drone swarms, mobile SAM units, S‑300 complexes, aviation, and engineering groups to defend cities and critical facilities. The early‑access title offers three modes—Player vs AI, Sandbox, and Multiplayer—while emphasizing logistics, construction, and realistic constraints such as limited fuel, missile supplies, and fog of war.
01 / THE GUIDE
Game Modes
Three modes are currently available: Player vs AI, Sandbox, and Multiplayer. Each mode places the player in charge of defending facilities against strike drones. The early‑access build does not yet include a dedicated PvE campaign, though a PvE mode is noted for future addition.
- Try Sandbox to experiment with unit placement before joining Multiplayer.
- Use the Discord community to locate co‑op partners for Multiplayer.

Units & Mechanics
Players can command mobile anti‑aircraft groups, S‑300 launchers and radars, aviation assets, and engineering vehicles for repairs and ammo resupply. These units operate within a real‑time tactical framework. All actions are subject to limited fuel and missile supplies, adding a logistical layer to combat decisions.
- Balance mobile SAMs with engineering vehicles to maintain ammo flow.
- Monitor fuel levels to avoid losing air superiority.

03 / THE GUIDE
Logistics & Construction
Supply delivery can be performed by ground or air, ensuring troops and defenses stay operational. Players may also build airfields and organize their defense against enemy attacks. Construction and logistics are core to maintaining a functional defense network throughout a match.
- Prioritize airfield construction early to secure resupply routes.
- Use ground deliveries when air fuel is low.
04 / THE GUIDE
Realism Features
The game incorporates fog of war, limited fuel, and missile supplies to simulate realistic combat conditions. Detailed animations depict maneuvers, takeoff, and landing for added immersion. These realism elements require players to plan ahead and manage resources carefully.
- Watch the fog of war to anticipate hidden threats.
- Track missile counts to avoid unexpected shortages.
