Gameplay
Graphics

Among the games that allow us to fly combat helicopters and test them on the battlefield, one of the best remembered titles is Desert Strike from 1992. Cobra Strike described here comes from an independent developer somasolo. It is heavily inspired by the aforementioned cult classic, both in terms of mechanics and graphics.

Gameplay

In Cobra Strike we view the action from an isometric view.

Helicopters

The game provides us with a number of combat helicopters. Besides the titular Cobra, the list includes machines such as Apache, Black Hawk, Comanche, and Chinook. They are differentiated in terms of flight characteristics, compatible weaponry, and the roles they play on the battlefield. All of this makes choosing the right helicopter for the mission objectives crucial if we want to succeed.

Missions and enemies

And speaking of missions – the driving force of the game are tasks that take us to various corners of the world, from the sandy desert, through the jungle, to the territories covered in ice . In each of these locations, we have specific objectives to achieve, such as gathering intelligence, escorting allies, or conducting offensive operations.

We are hindered by diverse enemies. We face both ground units (such as tanks, military trucks, artillery, and anti-aircraft defenses), naval units (including ships and submarines), and, of course, air units (with enemy planes and helicopters leading the charge).

Arsenal and other victory conditions

We eliminate enemies using a rich arsenal that includes heavy machine guns, Hydra rocket launchers, and Hellfire missiles. Since the adversaries outnumber us, choosing the right helicopter and showcasing piloting skills (helicopters in the air have a certain inertia) is not enough to achieve victory.

Success is also ensured by the right tactics, which we can establish by checking a special map and planning subsequent moves based on it. It is also important not to forget the necessity of managing critical resources, such as ammunition, armor, and fuel.

Graphics

The graphics of Cobra Strike are designed in a pixelated retro style. They have been enriched with contemporary elements, such as effects accompanying explosions and dynamic shadows.
