What players say
Players praise the retro helicopter aesthetic and comparisons to classics like Desert Strike and Zeewolf, but are nearly unanimous that the controls feel clunky and make the game frustratingly hard. Enemy fire is too fast to dodge, weapons feel weak, and even menu navigation is rough, though some say a Zeewolf-inspired sequel handles better.
