Our take on Missiles Away
Rather than using a fixed action-shooter progression, the game centers each run on changing upgrades, a customizable arsenal, and grapple-hook movement from a helicopter cockpit.
What is Missiles Away?
Missiles Away is an action shooter about piloting a heavily armed helicopter against an alien invasion.
Combat takes place from a first-person viewpoint, with rapid gunfights, aerial maneuvers, and successive enemy waves. Each run includes randomized power-ups and upgrades, requiring choices during battles and encouraging different approaches. The arsenal includes machine guns, missile launchers, and experimental alien technology, with loadout customization for combat. A grapple hook provides movement against fast enemy vehicles. Players prioritize targets, exploit weaknesses, and maneuver through attacks while gathering equipment and unlocking weapons. The game combines wave-based combat, run-to-run variation, strategic decisions, and helicopter movement in a setting where Earth is defended from invading forces.
