Neocrisis - The last time I played a game with helicopters in was quite a long time, thinking back it was the days of the old 16bit era, think Desert, think Strike, put those two words together and you get something special! Apache: Air Assault from Activision is a helicopter simulation, simulation in the sense that it's not too overly complicated with dozens of controls and commands you'd expect from a platform such as a PC - it's a game that you can just pick up and play, well after playing the pretty straight-forward tutorial that is.
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.
