Game Description
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge lets players take to the skies in an alternate-history 1930s where daring air pirates and rival nations battle for supremacy above lawless territories. You play as Nathan Zachary, the charming and rebellious leader of the Fortune Hunters, as he sets out to avenge a fallen comrade and unravel a sinister conspiracy. Blending pulp storytelling with cinematic dogfights, the game immerses you in a world of high-stakes aerial adventure and stylized retro-tech aircraft.
Built exclusively for the Xbox, this arcade-style flight combat title delivers adrenaline-pumping missions across dynamic environments—from foggy coastlines to soaring mountain ranges. Whether strafing enemy zeppelins, hijacking airborne fortresses, or pulling off barrel rolls between canyon walls, every mission is packed with action. With an accessible control scheme and a roster of weaponized planes, Crimson Skies captures the spirit of old-school adventure fused with modern shooter excitement.
