Cleared Hot is a Clear Hit
Cleared Hot is making waves as a spiritual successor to the famed Desert Strike series, having received an Overwhelmingly Positive rating of 98% on Steam.
Launched only last week, this early access title takes players back to the classic helicopter shooter experience but with modern upgrades and enhancements that leverage contemporary gaming technology. The game captures the essence of its predecessors while advancing gameplay with modern visuals and mechanics.
When your missiles hit the ground, explosions unfold into a magnificent display of physics, transforming the battlefield into a storm of debris and chaos. Adding to the retro charm, your helicopter employs unique air-jets to dodge incoming attacks, while stocking up on health and ammo rewards through a clever grappling hook mechanism.
Yet, not everything is perfect; the user interface is noted as basic, and some players find the voice acting lacking. However, these small issues are expected to improve during further development phases.
The Not Knowing Corporation has ambitious plans for Cleared Hot, with upcoming chapters intended to encompass a wider variety of environments, aligning closely with the gamer’s nostalgia for the Strike series. Players will soon get to navigate new terrains that include jungle and urban settings, creating a robust gameplay experience that pays homage to past classics while paving the way for future innovations.
