Da’ WAAAGH!!! FILLZ DA SKIEZ IN Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron
Are you a big fan of all things Orky? If so, you probably don’t need any introduction to da Flyboyz. We tend to think of pilots as civilized, higher educated, slick, sexy, playing shirtless volleyball, quipping the hottest one-liners. Not Flyboyz. Flyboyz are the Orks who looked at the Speed Freeks rickety Wartrukks and were like, “psh, not fast enough.” They are the maddest of the mad, completely obsessed with going as fast as Orkishly possible. This often scrambles their little Orkish brains. Which is a good thing. If you know anything about how the WAAAGH!!! works, the crazier the Ork, the better.
So if you ever looked at dogfighting games and thought, “I wish the pilot drank the fuel,” then boy do I have a game for you. Announced today, Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron is looking to bring the madness of the Orks into the skies. From their Official Press Release:
Phosphor Games Studio in partnership with Games Workshop is excited to announce Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron. Available later this year for consoles and PCs, Dakka Squadron is a fast-paced, aerial shooter where the player is an Ork Flyboy, taking to the skies to do what Orks do best – fight!
With 3rd person, action-packed gameplay and intuitive controls, players will choose a Waaagh! (or campaign) and take part in a series of missions across alien worlds. Players will fly against insane odds, blasting away with their Supa-Shootas against enemy air forces and ground targets, while unlocking new weapons and upgrading their Dakkajets to be the most “dead killy” Flyboys in the sky.
All of the player actions revolve around fighting. Building and crafting is for the grots. Choose an Ork Clan and customize your squadron to augment your play style. Fly Dakkajets, Burna-Bommas, and Blitza-Bommas, equip them with an array of guns, bombs, and missiles, learn special maneuvers, and unleash your dakka to conquer a galaxy riddled with ancient enemies.
