Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.43/day in the week to Aug 19 → 10.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

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.

Must play for anyone who loved the Strike series from back in the day.
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.
I paid 12 euro for a game with 3 hours gameplay..
Honestly speaking, no, I don't recommend it. Boring level tasks, design, game features and designs meant to have you constantly load reload load reload because of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ designs such as placing health packs next to deadly missile launchers with no tactics to choose other routes or tactics to deal with them and no quick save or checkpoints, this is on easy setting mind.... No thought given really in the game to this and thus, I cannot recommend it.
Good arcade game. Interesting missions. Pick up and play game play.
Pretty fun game. My only complaint is the story. The intro to the game was grounded in an actual military mission. Five minutes later the main character is living in a Texas trailer park defending a junkyard from a redneck militia with a little bird. The desert/jungle strike nostalgia ended with the intro. I'm looking forward to more content in the future, hopefully it's the main character during his military service.
Chapter 1 Completed! 90's spirit, arcade action, lots of weapons, choppers and so on! Waiting for Chapter 2.
Ever play Soviet Strike, or Nuclear Strike? This is those. But, American red-neck Texas toast style. Bad puns, jokes, all incuded. Even the loving and gentle care of chickens.
para quem jogou desert strike, jungle strike e urban strike, esse jogo é excelente.
