About Operation DogFight

Take to the skies in a world of conflict between humankind's best friends in Operation DogFight! Fetch up to three of your bestest friends to compete and see who the top-dog is in frantic local multiplayer action. Operation DogFight is best played with controllers, but can support up to one person on Keyboard/Mouse.

Features:

  • LOCAL MULTIPLAYER - Fetch up to three of your bestest friends and compete in intense local multiplayer action and see who truly is the top dog.
  • MULTIPLE MAPS - Take to the Agility Course to test your ability to fly through hoops, get in some canine canyon craziness in Jurassic Bark, or shrink down and duke it out in the Living Room! 5 Different maps to choose from.
  • DOGS! - Choose from multiple breeds and pick which dog pilot best suits your play style. Will you play as Boomer the Saint Bernard and soak in the damage, or Ace the Labrador Retriever and zip around the course at high speeds?
  • ACHIEVEMENTS - Multiple achievements for you to unlock!
  • ADD SOME CATS - Spice up your matches with a few Cat AI planes for some truly chaotic dogfighting action.

A Note from the Developers:


Operation DogFight is a game we've been developing on and off for multiple years, and it's overall scope has changed quite a bit over that time. In early 2021 we decided rather than continue to develop a larger single-player version of the game, we wanted to release the local multiplayer battles for free. We hope you enjoy playing Operation DogFight with your friends.

While we do not currently have any plans to add more content to Operation DogFight, we would love to continue developing this game further into our original vision. It will require significant player interest before we do so, so if you give it a try and would love to see more please let us know!

Operation DogFight is a compact arcade flight-combat game that builds its entire identity around a wonderfully literal interpretation of dogfighting. Developed and published by Petricore, Inc., the game puts dogs behind the controls of aircraft and sends them into colorful arenas for fast and deliberately chaotic aerial battles. Instead of pursuing the technical complexity associated with traditional combat flight games, it concentrates on accessibility, humor, and multiplayer entertainment. Its mixture of canine pilots, playful environments, and uncomplicated combat makes it feel closer to a couch party game with aircraft than a serious aviation simulation. Local multiplayer forms the foundation of the experience, supporting battles involving as many as four players. The straightforward structure makes Operation DogFight easy to introduce during a casual gaming session because players do not need extensive tutorials or knowledge of realistic aviation procedures before they can participate. Controller support is particularly important because the game is clearly designed around several people competing on the same system, although keyboard and mouse controls can also accommodate o…

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] The oh-so-clever title of this failed Furry themed PvP arena arcade shooter gives it away... you're a furry flying a biplane with wonky console-esque controls and you have to shoot the other players in badly done "dogfighting". This is in fact incredibly challenging because the game has no players for you to shoot. So, "Operation DogFight" is a dead PvP game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! [i]The vast majority of PvP focused games on Steam are failures.[/i] Most fail because developers assume just because the game project code completes a successful build, the game will instantly and magically "go viral" just for existing. There's nothing in this to appeal to gamers that hundreds of other PvP games are already doing better. PvP games face extreme competition, PvP gamers have plenty to choose from and they gravitate to where all the other players are. This game didn't offer anything to peel those PvPers away from the PvP games they're already invested in. It had…

Игра Operation Dogfight — это настоящий праздник для любителей аркадных авиасимуляторов. Тут тебе и стремительные виражи, и головокружительные пике, и, конечно же, зрелищные воздушные бои, где каждая секунда на счету. Управление интуитивно понятное, что позволяет с головой окунуться в битву, не отвлекаясь на сложные настройки. Графика, хоть и не претендует на фотореализм, вполне достойно передает атмосферу Второй мировой, а звуковое сопровождение добавляет драматизма. Разнообразие миссий не дает заскучать, а система улучшений самолетов приятно радует. Да, временами боты ведут себя предсказуемо, и сюжет не блещет оригинальностью, но разве это главное, когда можно почувствовать себя асом неба? Operation Dogfight — это отличный выбор для тех, кто хочет просто расслабиться и насладиться динамичным геймплеем без лишних сложностей.

Very easy to pick up and go, works flawlessly on steam deck, and planning on bringing it to a furry con to play with lots of dogs! Would love if there were a team mode added in the future, but I understand that this is a free game, and updates may be scarce. 10/10 would crash into another cat head on
