About Echelon: Wind Warriors
You are a pilot in the government forces stationed at one of the planets under attack. As you get higher on your career ladder, you will be able to choose more advanced hovercrafts and ammunition, as well as to order your own squad and influence local battles.The goal of the development of the game is to further expand our virtual universe. Based on the huge success of the first game, we are presenting you with the same world, occurring at the same time, but from the point of view of another character, whose adventures unfold according to a different storyline. At times, it will cross the storyline of the previous game, and if you have played "Echelon", you will recognize some places and characters.
Echelon: Wind Warriors is a unique game. This is not a regular space-battle simulator, nor is it a simulator of combat in enclosed labyrinths. The action is taking place above the surfaces of a planet, the picturesque landscapes of which are one of the basic features of the game play. In the realism of the implementation of the gaming environment – the cockpit of the battle hovercraft – Echelon is comparable with the best flight simulators. The game play is similar to that of the MechWarrior series, but instead of a walking robot, you pilot a fighter. Echelon: Wind Warriors has the following advantages over Echelon:
- Unique combination of flight simulation and action.
- Realistic and highly detailed world of the game. Various, elaborate, and vast landscapes.
- A broad but well-balanced range of available weapons provides the player enough freedom and flexibility for using different tactics.
- The player’s progress, as he advances through the game, upgraded equipment, as well as the appearance of new equipment with unknown functions on the part of the enemies will continually add excitement to the game play.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…5 found this helpful

[quote][b]Warning: Broken Game![/b] This game has design/implementation defects that will render this unplayable for many gamers. The game doesn't launch at all, and while the developer expects you to go through a number of convoluted workarounds and downloading third party files (risky!), there's no guarantee any of those will work either, with numerous reports of failed efforts. The developer is fully aware the game is broken but outright REFUSES to fix it... but still wants to scam gamers into paying for it on Steam. This is not okay!.[/quote] If, by any slim chance, you could get this broken game to run, Echelon: Wind Warriors is an ancient game from 2004. It's a whopping 20 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions (or widescreen monitors), hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from abandonware. Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there'…2 found this helpful

My brother bought me this as a gift not long after the game came out and I never got around to playing it, so when I saw there was a Steam release, I grabbed it and guiltily gave it a go. Surprisingly good game, and I was sad not to have played it at the time. However, it's an old game and has not aged particularly well, so just beware that if you're after a space combat simulator this is not going to come up to modern standards.
please god please update this for windows 10 id do anything at all to play it again
