Russian developer Gaijin Entertainment won over more than just a few more American audiences last year with IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey. It managed to hit a multi-demographic sweet spot by having accessible arcade controls as well as ridiculously realistic flight gameplay, depending on the user's preference. This fall the studio shifts from World War II air combat to modern day sorties in an attack chopper.
RotorStorm is an unity 3d awesome war game where you are playing with a helicopter and you are alone against an entire army. Your mission is to destroy as many enemies as you can and complete all 6 challenging missions.
Mediocre games are notoriously hard to critique. We’re hardwired for hyperbole: it’s easy to write thousands of words effortlessly praising the finer points of a blockbuster title, and a poor game is even easier. But when a game is neither, things get a bit more difficult: the game may not have glaring flaws, but it may lack any number of effervescent qualities that see it rise to the top.
Apache Air Assault is such a game, one that tempts this reviewer to trade in terrible clichés in an attempt to explain to the reader that this title might appeal to niche enthusiasts.
MMGN: Apache: Air Assault is best if you master the controls and experience both single and online multiplayer. It’s realistic enough for most pros, but more casual players will struggle to master the flight controls, even on the training difficulty, while the fun is to be had on realistic. That leaves it as a fairly niche title for combat flight sim fans.
