What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
[h1] Those older games are always hit or miss. When launching you always prepare for controls to not work as expected, in this case press right shift to shoot and maneuver with arrows *sigh*. Plays like a top down shooter. Gameplay was probably ok back in the day, now it's clunky. Some training missions must be completed first in order to get into normal missions. What else to say? Steer away and play something at least decent. [/h1]5 found this helpful

The result is a fast-paced experience that feels more like an old-school arcade shoot-’em-up than a traditional helicopter simulator. The premise follows a familiar action-movie formula.

To stop their operations, players must fly combat missions across diverse battlefields, destroying enemy vehicles, installations, and aircraft while surviving waves of hostile fire. The story itself is relatively …1 found this helpful
Definitely not a great game, but it has some charm to it and does not overstay its welcome and, contrary to what Steam and the pcwiki page would tell you, this game is fully playable with a controller (at least with the "Xbox one" controller).
A fun and accessible experience that I can easily recommend to anyone looking for something enjoyable to play.
yesss.
