Heavy Fire: Afghanistan

Heavy Fire: Afghanistan is a super fast playing on-rails shooter set in modern-day Afghanistan featuring tanks, assault vehicles and helicopters. The graphics are DX9 so the shaders used are mediocre. Teyon still managed to get this game looking decent with very easy system requirements. This game is also available on the Xbox 360. Played this on my Dell Latitude 5440 with Intel ARC Xe graphics. Game is very playable.

This is pretty well done as it tries to take itself seriously. It's an arcade quality game, the levels are interesting, and the enemies look like Osama Bin Laden.

Point. Shoot. (Take Cover. Reload) Point. Shoot. MW SP Campaign without having to walk by yourself or pay 80 bucks. ... what's not to like?

Both Heavy Fire games I've played (Afghanistan and Shattered Spear) are subpar rail shooters that may have been decent with VR support or even a light gun, but as is, just a rather boring affair that I wouldn't recommend (either of them). They're both low quality enough I'm removing them from my account even.

I went in knowing full well this was an on-rails shooter, and honestly that's the only way to enjoy it. The gameplay itself is fine for what it is, shooting tangos and lobbing grenades in predetermined firefights, though the sun bloom that blinds you at the worst moments gets old fast. The voice acting is rough and the guns sound like someone tapping a cardboard box, but there's something weirdly fun about watching enemies do cartwheels before getting dropped. At this price it scratches that old arcade rail shooter itch if you can manage your expectations.
