Desert Strike....Jungle Strike....Urban Strike....Soviet Strike.....Nuclear Strike... And now, presenting.... REDNECK STRIKE

Modern take on the Desert Strike formula. The visuals are cool, flying and shooting are fun, and the game feels very polished even though it’s still in Early Access.

THIS GAME USES AI GENERATED ART. I have no idea how they got away without disclosing this on their STEAM page, but the character portraits and game intro are blantantly AI. Not only that but it really shouldn't be STEAM Deck Verified either, the performance on an OLED is quite poor. Either way, I'm not supporting games with AI slop in them, so unless the AI garbage is removed and the performance improved, I'll remain happy with my refund.

I dunno man... I wanted to love this game. Graphics are great, and it really has the potential to be a real throwback to Desert Strike. I bought this game, literally looking for that experience again. And it could have been... if it werent for the stupid controls. I get that you want to make it more modern, but there are a boatload of guys that just want that Desert Strike experience again and want the OG control layout. You have other options. Why not give us this one? It's so simple! UP-Fwd DOWN-backward LEFT-rotate left RIGHT-rotate right. PERIOD! Aiming just sorta happened. You rotate to aim and when it gets in the ballpark, it would start aim-assisting. It was easy. it was fun! Now it's work. I mean, if you must force is to use 2 sticks, then same idea. LEFT STICK: UP-forward DOWN-backward LEFT/RIGHT Stafe.....RIGHT STICK: LEFT/RIGHT Rotate. Done. Easy Peasy! Controls aside, the game is great. It's funny and they've clearly put some thought into it. But I have played this purchase twice. With the OG controls, that would have been 30 or 40 times by now. The game just isn't fun when I can't control the helicopter the way I am expecting. The game has potential. But I wouldn't recommend it until it has a proper control layout in line with the original game.

Great little retro-style helicopter shooter. Impressive physics and fun gameplay. Very enjoyable and I look forward to future content. However, I have some critique given that the game is in Early Access. First, the difficulty of the missions are a bit scuffed in that most of them are way too easy except the canyon mission which has an extreme difficulty spike for seemingly no reason. Some missions require precise dodging and shooting and for this reason mouse and keyboard feel almost mandatory, which is a shame as I initially bought this game to play on controller / Steam Deck. I also have to question the character portraits during the cutscenes -- they look AI-generated and I really hope they aren't.

Must play for anyone who loved the Strike series from back in the day.

Ностальгияяяя... Эх, где мои десять лет и летние каникулы, и все три "страйка" на сеге... Хорошее развитие идей из древней консольной серии. Игра простая, несерьёзная, играется приятно - добавить особо нечего. На данный момент минус - очень мало. Буквально три часа с запасом на всё. Но на то и ранний доступ. И да, цена, субъективно - без скидки дороговато... Но в целом, всё равно, понравилось.

I paid 12 euro for a game with 3 hours gameplay..
