Arcade-Style Flight Combat
The briefing
Eagle Plan is an arcade-style flight simulator inspired by After Burner. Each mission requires destroying set numbers of specific enemy types, including fighter planes, tanks, and warships. A mission ends as soon as its objectives are fulfilled.
The player's aircraft is equipped with an infinite-ammunition gun and a limited supply of missiles. Certain enemies can only be destroyed with the appropriate weapon, adding a tactical element to combat. Completing missions provides money that can be spent between missions on aircraft upgrades, missile replenishment, and fuel.
Fuel is also lost when the aircraft takes damage. Running out of fuel ends the game.
