REVIEW
Thunder Wolves provides simplistic and explosive action in a familiar arcade style that will have you piloting combat-equipped helicopters across sandbox maps with the objective of blowing up whatever gets in your way. As an arcade game, the focus is on the action; and so: the controls are simple, the storyline elements are minimal, and the overall depth of the game falls somewhere between “puddle” and “kiddie-pool.” But it’s all good. Because it’s fun as hell. Anyone who is looking for some wild, mindless action should give Thunder Wolves strong consideration.

Thunder Wolves
Thunder Wolves is a fun lite hearted arcade flight shooter. For a dollar am surprised that his game delivers a lot of content.
For being a hearted arcady game from the early 2000s this was a pretty enjoyable experience.
Released on Steam back in 2013 by the publisher HandyGames and developed by Most Wanted Entertainment.
I really enjoy the hectic and chaotic arcade-style gameplay.

Thunder Wolves lets you play as an elite group of pilots, who undergo missions under the banner of a mercenary group. The game in the hot seat of an experienced helicopter group that has survived a flurry of bullets and caused more destruction than the Seventh United States Army. Gamers will embark on a variety of missions including high-risk convoy protection, deploying a commando on fast-moving train, or unleashing hell on a fully destructible battlefield. Lets you play with few Helicopters with 3 different types of rockets to demolish your foes with.

Raid on the Zone
Been playing this a couple of times now, and I’m very fond of it being so close to the original Raid on Bungeling Bay, even though it has been enhanced with more intelligent AI, which also makes it a bigger challenge. I haven’t beaten it yet, but I’m going to! Lots of good gameplay and replayability. Recommending this for everyone who likes to shoot stuff and have fun!

I really enjoyed this game as it resembles the old Raid on Bungeling Bay, which I have enjyoed a lot as a kid. The game is hard but loads of fun! :) Highly recommended for anyone with a trigger finger.

Vertical Strike Endless Challenge
TLDR: Worth a couple bucks to fly around and shoot guns and missiles. Not very realistic, limited content.
This is a fun arcade-type flight sim game. Emphasis on arcade- there’s a lot of clunkiness and issues and overall doesn’t feel as realistic as say the old HAWX or Ace Combat games were (Even though those weren’t as realistic as REAL flight sim games). If you’ve never played a flight sim game before, this may be a good first choice since the controls are very simple and easy to use.
It’s fun to just boot up the game and roll out raining hell on planes or ships; it’s quick to get into the action and they don’t lug you down with so much customization that it becomes burdensome.

My controller scheme is so messed up its not even funny, and coming from a casual Battlefield background makes this a lot more challenging since the only experience I have with flying aircraft “realistically” was in ArmA2/3, but that was done with KB/M which gave me a lot more options for control customization and whatnot, whereas in BF4 where I played on a PS3 using a controller, everything was incredibly casual, and even then I haven’t played BF4 IN AGES, NOR AM I GOOD IN AIRCRAFT TO BEGIN WITH.

Hello Guys,
Im usually not into those type of games, but i like fighter aircrafts, so i gave it a go.
I play with controller on pc, wich plays out very smooth for the action itself. On the Endscreen u need the mouse though.
I really like the new visuals after the last update and there is now a tutorial about all power ups (and downs!) in the settings area, for ppl who had trouble to figure out the power ups during play. WIth the new visuals on the updates it shouldnt be that much of a problem anymoar.

Airplane shooting spree
Leo pilots the fighter to highlight the enemy’s encirclement. You can shoot the plane or effectively avoid the opposite plane by moving the mouse left and right. You can move back and forth to get more supplies to help break through
There are three types of supply
Red: single shot becomes double shot. If you break through in time, it becomes three shot
Gray: you can summon one aid to attack and destroy the enemy in full screen, but it will not change in a limited time breakthrough
Danger Forever
Danger Forever is hardcore 3D scroll-shooter with rogue-lite elements.
_ Lone human rides her mecha-dragon
through hostile alien world of mechanoids and techno-demons_
Unlike most scrolling shooters, you actually fly through 3D environment — use it to your advantage, and beware bumping into walls or ground.
Also, instead of traditional showering enemies with bullets, you have to think ahead a bit — fuel/heat system adds some more depth to combat.
Levels are procedurally generated — each level is slightly different every time you play it
(but it’s not totally random of course).
Energy and materials obtained during level playthrough can be used to upgrade and customize you dragon.
You also need those materials and energy to build a spaceship to fight your way out of that hostile planet.
F E A T U R E S
► Explore over 100 levels in 6 distinct regions
World map is procedurally generated too, you can ’re-roll' your world.
► Utilize elaborate scoring system to earn energy and materials needed for upgrades
The better you score the better gear you can afford.
► Unlock new difficulty modes
On higher difficulty levels you’ll encounter enemies and hazards not present on ‘normal’ or ‘easy’.
► Upgrade and customize your dragon
Abilities and weapon-modes are unlocked and upgraded for Azure and materials earned on levels.
► Challenge yourself on specially designed infinite ‘survival’ levels
Survival levels are ranked on leaderboards.

Aircraft Evolution
Control a plane that flies towards your pointer, drops bombs and fires missiles so you can wipe out hordes of enemies.
Its a close one here, the controls work fine, its quite neat getting new planes and upgrading them, and the variety of bombs and missions is pretty solid.
but it feels a lot like a mobile game that had microtransactions and wasnt balanced quite correctly when it was ported back to PC. Things go at a fair clip through the first part of the game, but around chapter 2 the difficulty ramps up faster than your money does and you end up in a sort of grind, particularly because even with the best plane in the game your bombs never do that much damage and there are a lot of enemies.

Aircraft Evolution is a casual indie sidescrolling shooter that follows in the footsteps of the 1987 classic Wings of Fury. In my opinion fans of WOF game most likely wont be disapointed acquiring Aircraft Evolution as it does a great job at it. The gameplay of Aircraft Evolution is pretty much about bombing the living hell out of the enemies of differnt eras of the history of airplanes and fending off attacking airplanes in different missions while upgrading and buying new planes. In the current early access build the plane is controlled with the mouse and 3 keyboard keys (z,repair -x,fuel-space,speed) and its rather simple to master. The graphics are hand-drawn and really nice to behold. I bought the game for 3.99 euros and feel i got great value for the money. I’ll rate the game 8/10.

NOMAD
The store page should be much clearer about this not actually being the ZX Spectrum game running in an emulator, but a remake running in the Unity engine.
It’s playable enough, but not an accurate depiction of what it originally looked or played like, despite reusing the Spectrum graphics.
What you’ll instantly notice for example is that while the game uses classic low res pixel graphics, the physics and movement don’t adhere to the ‘resolution’ of these graphics. You’ll see your ship move smoothly between pixels, which of course results in the pixels of the ship and the backgrounds not lining up to the same grid, making it kinda hard to look at.
