TORA TORA!

Tora Tora is an air combat video game, based on the conflict that took place over the Pacific Ocean in the 1940s.

An Indie development, which aims to relive the experience lived by those pilots who flew from aircraft carriers, and had to navigate over the ocean, fulfill their missions and then find their own aircraft carrier, if it was still there, in order to land.

The game seeks to have a fluid dynamic, that transmits real flight sensations, with friendly control commands.

The graphic style of the game is especially unique, a high contrast in black and white, with powerful reds that stand out over the entire game, Tora Tora! He manages to have an image that relaxes, that is enjoyed, and that recalls those golden times, where video games were good for their essence.

THE GAME

Tora Tora! It was born with the idea of a game of fulfilling missions starting from an aircraft carrier, flying to find the target, attack, defend, escort, photograph, and once the mission is complete, return to your aircraft carrier.

The pilots will be created by the player, each one will have their history, experience and abilities, which by completing missions can improve their skills, but if the pilot falls into action, he will no longer be able to continue flying, and the player must create a new pilot.

This concept is for the user to value their pilots, and that each pilot is unique. There will be aces between them, and others that may not go that far.

The history of all the pilots will be visible from the main menu on the pilots dashboard.
