With fond memories of playing the likes of Desert Strike for endless hours, Cleared Hot looks exactly what I've been wanting in a modern take on it. Developed by Cfinger Games and now MicroProse Software are jumping in as publisher it's sounding really promising.
In Cleared Hot, players step into the cockpit of a fully upgradeable attack helicopter. You get the classic arcade shooter action blended nicely with modern physics-based mechanics. Players will shoot, dodge, and use creative tactics to move squads across dynamic battlefields while using an innovative rope and magnet system to interact with the environment. From picking up vehicles and redirecting heat-seeking missiles to throwing rocks at enemies, the game offers a truly unique and emergent take on how players can achieve battlefield control.
