Birds of War presents a team-based aerial combat experience where squads of three engage in objective-driven gameplay centered on egg acquisition and nest protection. The title supports nine distinct bird archetypes, each offering specialized abilities and tactical approaches suited to different combat roles. Proximity-based voice communication enables players to detect nearby adversaries while coordinating with allies or executing strategic misdirection.

The game prioritizes physics-based close-quarters fighting, incorporating ragdoll dynamics for enhanced environmental interaction. Development utilized Unreal Engine 5 as the core technology platform. The project originated from a collaborative effort between Seaton Rogers, known professionally as rapper YNG Martyr, videographer Samuel Gordon, and esports veteran Matt Didehvar. The team independently financed and promoted the title, achieving 100,000 Steam wishlists ahead of its official launch.
