About

CLEARED HOT is a nostalgic helicopter shooter with satisfying physics and light tactical elements. Shoot, dodge, move your squad around the battlefield, and pick up almost anything with your rope and magnet.
With fully physics-based action, you can get creative and use the environment to your advantage. Send enemies ragdolling through the air with your rockets, or use your rope to throw rocks at the enemy.

Charming, funny, action packed, goofy, explosion-y, helicopter combat that lends itself organically to twin stick control. I've only played the first chapter, but the boss battle at the end of it was exhilarating and left me wanting more. Will be playing this one for a long time. If you want to wait until the other chapters are out, I get it, but this dev deserves the EA purchase if you want to support their ongoing work.
Très bon jeu dans l'ensemble, même si le système de visée est perfectible. Petite requête aux développeurs : un système de livrées serait génial, surtout pour le Bell 222... Les fans des années 80 savent. 😉 🎵 Tudududududududududu... 🚁
This game is a lot of fun, and also has one of the funniest tutorial screens I've ever seen in my life. There's nothing quite like blitzing through a group of infantry, wiping them out in a scant few seconds with your gun before quickly whipping around to send a guided anti-armor missile into the rear deck of a tank before it has time to draw a bead on you.
Really fun game. Reminds of games I use to play back in the 90s. I feel like there is to be a lot more helicopter type games but I could be wrong. The movement and controls are buttery smooth. I played on my legion go s, it ran great, and this felt like it was made for be played on a handheld. For being in early access I ran into no bugs which was impressive. I went through the whole game (1st Chapter) and it could be surprisingly challenging at times in the later game. I’m really looking forward to seeing how this game is at full release and I’ll definitely be there for it.
went in with hope of Army men air attack 2 vibes and just found a twin stick shooter x.x sucky.
EXTREMELY addictive little game full of character! CAN'T WAIT for the next chapter to be released!
Das macht Spass! Empfehlenswert.
I didn't play much Desert Strike so not sure how closely this compares. It requires mouse precision aiming which I'm sure Desert Strike didn't. Missions are linear, whereas Desert Strike had a strategic decision about which order to complete objectives. It's easier and fuel isn't limited which is a plus for me. Anyway, Cleared Hot is good, but unfinished. Only about 4 hours of gameplay here so far. Quite a few customisation options but there isn't really a linear progression to better load outs or sideways move to different load outs being better different missions. If they manage to put out another 8 hours of content then this is a bargain, but it's a gamble. My only real criticism is the ground troops are too small to see on Steam Deck, until after they start shooting at you. . Needs an option to highlight them before that or something.
Amazing! grew up on Genesis Desert Strike and sequels up to Ps1! Love the VO's lovable characters great selection of Helos! Luv It! Thanks so much guyz at Not Knowing for your skill and hard work!
Liebevoll umgesetztes Heli-Action Spiel (ala Desert Strike) mit Story :) - natürlich jetzt nicht Oscar-würdig aber genau so wie man es erwartet ;) Was soll man sagen - toll gemacht und macht echt Spaß! Weiter so! Freue mich auf die finale Kampagne!
