  2. YO, so many classic Strike memories, I love this. Will def keep on my radar.

    I enjoyed the demo. The last mission with the jet took me far too many tries.

    Stoked to buy the full version when it’s out. Also the hook physics are a hoot.

    Reminds me in some ways of Army Men Air Attack with using the winch to throw things around.

  10. ShamrockHammer

    Hell yes! The Strike series was always a treat, I’ll be looking for your game!

    Looks great. I loved these types of games back on SNES even though I don’t remember the names.

    Anyone else remember Firestorm Thunderhawk 2 for the PS1? That immediately popped to my mind before even watching this vid clip.

    This game looks pretty fun! I like the rope mechanic! I might give it a whirl someday!

  14. Thanks for this , can’t wait to play this weekend !

  15. BeardyDrummer

  16. bizarrequest

    Damn I was just literally thinking of Desert Strike the other day!

  17. Epic-Battle

    Reminds me of a helicopter game I played as a kid with a joystick. Looking good my man, kudos!

  18. Really enjoyed the demo to this last night! Had it on my wishlist for a while and can’t wait for the full thing!

  19. Reminds me of Desert Strike.

    Played it on a Commodore Amiga 500 and Game Gear.

    Damn, gonna download this after work. You just unlocked Jungle Strike memories of mine.

    I remember playing this game. My cousin had a demo on her PC in 2002.

  22. Just finished the demo! I did enjoy it, more towards the beginning when I was discovering new things. Discovering new things is good.

    The demo could use a little more variety in music towards the end – wasn’t my favorite track. Really enjoyed the music in the first mission.

    And would be good for the demo to show case a little more of the depth you intend – to give us an idea of what we’re looking forward to. There was no challenge by the time I got to the rockets in the canyon, and less to discover. Would’ve also been neat if I could shoot the rockets out of the sky. I didn’t have much reason to explore bashing things with physics because – heeeeeeeeeeeeeey I didn’t see that I could grab missiles and send them back, that’s just funny.

    I kept trying to fly with directional buttons for direct control of the heli, rather than NSEW mapping.

    This is the kind of game I think I’d enjoy more on the Switch than on PC.

    Wishlisted! The footage you posted alone was enough to get my money. Man i used to play the strike games a LOT as a kid

  24. Witty_Cultist

    Damn, I had forgotten all about Soviet Strike till I saw this. Used to spend hours flattening the map on the first mission then get confused as too why I kept failing the missing 😀

  25. OrthodoxSlavWarrior

    Urban Strike, Jungle Strike and Desert Strike are goated games.

  26. Played the demo and it was super fun! Can’t wait for the full release!

    Had this wishlisted for a while, grabbed the demo yesterday. Downloaded it on my PC and my Steam deck, only played it on the deck so far. Frame rate chugged a bit, bouncing in the 30s and 40s, but I definitely enjoyed it and am looking forward to the full release!

  28. DogePerformance

    Yeah baby this looks great, good job! I’ll get it tonight after work

  29. Haey_Fran

    This seriously was so fun playing this briefly over the weekend! My inner 7yr old is convinced it’s the same graphics haha

  30. SocietyAlternative41

    #SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

    (please release on Xbox as well)

  32. FellowDeviant

    This triggered a deep cut game i used to play on Genesis. Pretty sure it was Jungle Strike. I was absolutely terrible at it (I was 4)

  33. Demo was fun. Definitely something I may check out when it’s released.
