Most games set during the Second World War focus on the life and death drama of intense battles. Whether that takes the form of FPS games like Hell Let Loose, Call of Duty 2, and Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad or entries to the strategy genre such as Steel Division 2, Company of Heroes 3, the goal of most of these games is to capture military action and, to greater or lesser degrees, keep the less dramatic aspects of a war in the background. This makes Ground of Aces, a building game that takes place on a bustling air base during World War II, notable for providing one of the most intense takes on its genre and, simultaneously, one of the most relaxed types of WWII game. And you can check it out now thanks to its new Steam demo.
