Want It!

An oldschool helicopter shooter with a top-down view, inspired by Desert Strike and its sequels. In Cleared Hot we participate in various combat missions, using the arsenal of our helicopter to destroy targets. The machine is also equipped with a magnet and can transport people.

Cleared Hot is a top-down shooter with minor tactical elements, in which we control a combat helicopter. The game was produced by the American independent studio Cfinger Games.

Gameplay

The gameplay in Cleared Hot is reminiscent of that known from the Strike series and consists of two key elements.

The core of the game is flying a military helicopter and performing combat missions (most of the time they are based on the destruction of enemy targets). The second aspect is more tactical, as it is also important to transport our unit to enemy territory and deploy it appropriately according to the progress made.

In addition to weapons, our helicopter is also equipped with a rope with a magnet attached to its end.

Thanks to it and the physics system, we are able to use the environment to our advantage and, for example, defeat an enemy by pushing a container at them. Additionally, we use the "tug" for transporting our soldiers, including tanks and other heavy vehicles.

The game's action takes place within three biomes: Desert, Jungle, and Arctic. What's more, we can conduct both day and night missions. In the case of the latter, we use a night vision device or thermal imaging goggles and surprise our opponents.

We have many different helicopters at our disposal, which we can buy and upgrade for the rewards we earn.
