Megacopter: Blades of the Goddess

You don't really need to read this review - all the others nailed it and said everything that needs to be said. Well, except that one guy.... oh, ok then, I'll do my job - fine. Megacopter is amazing! I suppose there are some caveats. YES it's a modern take on the excellent Desert / Jungle Strike series from the 90s and cleverly updates the isometric maps and twin stick controls (one for direction one for aim) so it all feels and plays very contemporary - it's a well-done modern homage. The missions styles are similar too - each main objective has stages and savepoints, so the levels cant really be sped through that much and will take 20 mins or so each. It's a decent 6-8 hour campaign overall on the harder skill level. It's not too tricky once you get used to the controls and orientation and each new enemy type you meet including bosses will be tackled with a good ol' circle strafe most of the time. The delicious blood in this black pudding comes from the story concept and lore ...

i want to be straight, if you are looking to relive the good old days of the genesis with desert strike, then no, the nostalgia won't kick in. I really find it weird that it is 2025 and we still can't get an indie dev to replicate how good desert strike felt. anw, let us talk about this game, it is fun, it is fast, the art grow on you and end of the day, i did finish it, so that means i had fun. The game can get seriously unfair at times, i also find it weird how the rotor sounds cuts off, those sounds are the best part of the game. i should also note, the story goes nowhere. my biggest tip ? wait for a 75% discount on it and pick it up, will give u a good time for that price.

This game is such a joy--it's like a modern revision of a Windows 95 classic. Very replay-able and you can tell the devs put a lot of passion into this project.

An awesome Helicopter and terrible pizza. Fun bosses

6/10 Short and amusing homage to Desert Strike of old, but not that great from a game play point of view. Aiming is awkward & the dual sights aren't great, view is too zoomed in and the enemy lack variety. Not terrible if bought on sale, but you'll complete it once and then forget about.

Modern version of Desert/Urban/Jungle Strike with a bizarre if not interesting story line.

Overall this was a pretty decent homage to Desert Strike in my opinion. I liked the graphics, characters, plot and music. However I did have some issue with how mind numbingly repetitive the enemies were and the sub par level design(in my opinion the levels are far too big and go on for way longer than they should, way too much empty space).

It's like the Strike Series. Enough said. Pretty friggin cool if ya ask me.
