Our take on Heli Heroes
Rather than following a character-focused shooter structure, the game centers missions on flying attack helicopters and managing fuel, ammunition, and defensive systems. Its arcade format uses 3D terrain and varied weather, with objectives ranging from attacks on oilfields to encounters with major enemies.
What is Heli Heroes?
Heli Heroes is an arcade-style helicopter shooter with 30 missions across day and night settings and varying weather.
Players command an AH-64 Apache Longbow or a Russian Hokum and fly over, through, and into 3D terrain. Missions range from attacking Iraqi oilfields to facing major enemies in Alaska. The game includes real-world units, different ammunition types, bonus objects, and offensive and defensive systems such as decoys, additional armor, and stealth. Fuel and ammunition limits factor into flight strategies. Play options include single-player, a two-player simultaneous Companion Mode, internet competition, and campaign mode. The game supports nearly all pads and joysticks and offers resolutions from 640x480 to 2048x1800 in 32-bit color.
