Fly a Polikarpov Po-2 with rear gunner Natalya in this plane-stealth action strategy game inspired by the 588th Night Bomber Regiment's WWII operations against the Third Reich. Conduct nighttime missions to bomb enemy bases, halt reinforcements, and repel attacks while pushing Axis forces back. Nights demand smart risks to hit more targets before dawn breaks.
Master stealth by gliding silently with the engine off to evade lights and detection, or charge in for quicker strikes. An open-world campaign lets you explore freely and choose directions, where nightly performance shapes advances, retreats, or base losses. Simulation fans who enjoy time-pressured decisions and open-ended progression will find a tense fit on PC.
Night Witch: 588 is a plane-stealth game based on the real 588th Night Bomber Regiment who conducted countless operations against the Third Reich throughout WW2.
You are a new recruit, flying your trusty Polikarpov with your rear gunner Natalya. A campaign lies ahead of you and the fate of the people is in your hands. Bomb bases, stop reinforcements and repel attacks. Push the axis back at all costs.
FEATURES
Stealth: Use the night to your advantage; turn off your engine, glide over the enemy base and dodge lights. Avoid being detected and take the enemy by surprise. Alternatively, choose the faster but riskier tactic and zoom in as fast as you can, then run.
Time Management: The nights don't last forever and your Polikarpov can't do much during the day. You need to take risks to bomb more targets before the night ends.
Campaign System: Proceed through the campaign to push the opposing forces back. Your performance every night determines who advances and who retreats. The ultimate objective is to clear the map of all German bases but it is possible to lose progress or even get your own base wiped altogether if you underperform. The future of the motherland is in your hands.
Open-World Gameplay: Much like the campaign's result, the map is open-ended as well. You are free to explore and go to whichever direction you deem appropriate from the very beginning of the game.
