For all of you old schoolers out there,
Heli Heroes offers a nostalgic blast to the past a la
1942,
Zaxxon, and other flying shoot-em-ups. The concept is simple. You take control of your chopper, destroying everything in your path. Your quest is to complete the 20+ missions, trying to eliminate the threat of the Revolution (this is the bad-guy agency in the world of
HH) in an effort to be victorious.
During your time in the air, you'll encounter everything from tanks and jeeps on the ground, to other helicopters and planes in the air. The key to success in Heli Heroes is to continually pick up power-ups. Power-ups range from different types of machine guns, to missiles and laser beams (we spare no expense here). And trust me, you will soon learn the perfect balance of saving or spending your ammo. As you come across mission objectives that require destroying bases and other 'bosses,' you'll need everything you've got or you'll end up in a pile of ashes on the ground.
If it weren't enough for someone to bring back an all but lost genre of games, you can also have a buddy join you in a little two-player cooperative action, just like the arcades! Unfortunately, playing a two-player game adds another major addition of action, which in turn makes the screen's chaos an even bigger headache with even more slowdowns. It's very unfortunate to have a great game like Heli Heroes be brought down because it bogs down as you play.
