Slitherine Software’s intense tactical dogfighting title Scramble: Battle of Britain has now soared into Steam Early Access. Set in the chaotic 1940 summer skies, this turn-based strategy game puts players in command of RAF and Luftwaffe squadrons, leading intense aerial battles in a dynamic 3D airspace. Through realistic physics simulations and detailed planning, players will manage pilot traits and plan tactical manoeuvres, with the Early Access version laying the groundwork for a full campaign in the final release.

The Early Access version of Scramble offers a Skirmish Generator, allowing players to rapidly create missions and fight as either the RAF or Luftwaffe. The game’s cinematic tools enable players to view the action from multiple angles and share game replays, while a comprehensive single-player mode puts them in the role of an RAF squadron leader to engage in strategic combat missions. Aircraft like the Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, and Messerschmitt 109 are available to pilot in detailed aerial battles.

Aircraft in Scramble are simulated down to the subcomponent level, allowing for realistic damage and strategic depth. Players can experience the impact of bullets tearing through fuel tanks, engines, and radiators, or face the challenge of handling fatigued and blacked-out pilots. Each mission offers intense, historically accurate combat, while the planning, simulation, and review phases give players full control to manage manoeuvres and analyse battle outcomes in detail.

As Scramble: Battle of Britain enters Early Access, player feedback will be key in shaping its development. The team is committed to open communication, encouraging players to share content, suggestions, and feedback through forums and Discord. Regular updates will incorporate player-driven improvements, with community playtests and livestreams planned to engage directly with players. This collaborative approach will ensure that the final game reflects the needs and desires of the community.

Slitherine Software plans to keep Scramble in Early Access for approximately one year, during which several major updates will be rolled out. These updates will include the full Battle of Britain campaign, additional aircraft, enhanced AI behaviours, and more player-driven features such as multiplayer mode. This will all ensure that the full release delivers a comprehensive and polished experience for all players.
