SKYSAVIOR Helicopter Services

Someone actually did it. That scratches about every SimCopter itch one could have with a lot of improvements. Thank you for this gem.

This game is a hidden gem in steam. It's arcadey, low poly and very much an indie title. BUT, it's got that old school helicopter game vibe with addicting procedurally generated missions and an in game map editor/creator. There's also a L A R G E fleet of helos to purchase as you level up. The game is also shockingly well optimized for such a small dev team. I don't think I've yet to experience any frame drops, mem leaks or anything outside of some minor control jank (binds are fully customizable, to include button combos on a gamepad). It can be a bit repetitive, but there is a pretty vast array of mission types to play, and your helos are customizable with attachments/tools to unlock and/or improve certain mission types. there is also a basic damage model, fuel management and mission priority management. Game is gold. I can easily see myself putting hundreds, if not thousands, of hours into this open world helicopter sandbox over the years. Worth every penny at even x2 the price.

This is a simple yet fun game. It's challenging at the right point and the ability to select and "reject" unwanted missions make the game very flexible for all tastes. Flying is fun and the fact of there's a embedded map editor makes the deal even sweeter. I just hope we'll see the possibility of adding liveries (or freely painting) the choppers, since right now we only have 1 to 2 templates and a color picker. There's also a ton of new choppers in the dev to-do list and I'm really looking forward for them. It may be not cheap, but the price is fair for what it deliveries.

It's just like SimCopter, but even better. I loved that game back when I was a kid and I still love it now. Any of the bugs the game once had are all gone. I love the fact that when you switch helicopters, the missions change with the type that particular helicopter can handle. It keeps all the same old gameplay, but with updated graphics (not that we're playing for the graphics) and many more missions. I love the fact that militarized helicopters don't have to be searched for, but bought right at the hangar. Water/boat rescues now come with optional assistance (coast guard). There are aircraft carriers in the water so you can refuel on the go away from the hangar. You can also choose to go back to the hangar as long as there aren't any passengers aboard. Very well done to the makers. You've managed to capture nostalgia AND improve upon it. Well done!

Skysavior is the SimCopter remake I always wanted! For early access, it's really well polished and adds some great QOL improvements to the mix. The tutorial is sparse, but most of the controls are easy to figure out ([strike]one exception being accessing the menu using a controller/Steam Deck[/strike] - fixed!). For the full SimCopter experience, cue up the soundtrack/commercials or the original high-quality OST on YouTube while playing.

Fun game. It does remind me of Sim Copter from the past. Sometimes the missions come too fast. The game need alittle bit more documentation. There are some notes in game but i wish they were available through something line a handbook to further explained the controls.
