An adventurous aircraft builder takes to the skies!
On June 25th, 2026, Wings of Aviora by Stormy XP Studios launched into early access. As an introductory offer, Wings of Aviora is available for $19.99 USD until July 1st, 2026. This is a temporary 20% discount from its current $24.99 USD price. As with any early access game, when it nears full release there is a chance its price may change.
About Wings of Aviora
The premise of this game is: Wings of Aviora takes place on the fictional planet of Aviora during an invasion of mechanical monsters rising from the depths of its oceans. The City Council of the New Vravice Archipelago gathered its best engineers to create multiple aircraft that could stand against this mechanical onslaught and protect the islands (many of them floating in the sky!).
We last spoke about the demo for this steam punky action adventure during Steam Next Fest February 2026. The demo is no longer available as it served its purpose for the developer to gather feedback, continue development then prepare it for early access.
According to the developer the game will be in early access for roughly one year. More locations, mission types, aircraft parts, enemy variety, bosses and more story are all planned. There is even a mention of co-op gameplay being developed within the early access period.
Notable Points
This indie flight shooter with an arcade flight model feel has a mix of open world inspired elements with one major simulator like feature which defines its identity.
Legit Aircraft Builder: Wings of Aviora's aircraft building system is detailed with realistic lift, parts having unique weights, specific parts can be damaged. Various weapons from machine guns to bombs and missiles also have weight and drag. Aircraft structure, physics and combat capability are defined by your design decisions. Remember: this aircraft actually needs to fly!
Combat Focused Design: When you think of aircraft builders Flyout, Juno, SimplePlanes and Aviassembly probably come to mind. The primary focus of most aircraft builders is building and testing with optional events like racing or combat happening voluntarily. Wings of Aviora has an aircraft builder core that prioritizes combat and encourages players to build more combat effective aircraft as time goes on.
Exploration: While the general story setting is known, there are no set missions, briefings or even a map. Flying from their home aerodrome with their latest aircraft build, players can explore open world taking on any seen or unexpected challenges that may arise. Will you find a cargo ship to escort? A time attack to challenge yourself? A mechanical Leviathan so large it could probably eat you? Who can say?
Wanderlust R&D: Returning back to base after a successful "test flight" that may or may not involve combat is one way to gather the materials needed to continue aircraft development. Another is finding blueprints for parts hidden around the map. They are found in random places at random times, so there is always a reason to keep your eyes searching.
Wings of Aviora is an indie flight game that I plan on writing a full article about in due time. Until then, feel free to jump in now or keep up with its development on your own!
