Steely Bird

Steely
Bird is a fresh sequel to Air Force Missions, perhaps the most exciting
3D indie helicopter combat action game ever released. The new sequel
follows in the footsteps of its parent and takes it to the limit. The
centerpiece of Steely Bird is a new terrorist base, well defended and
cleverly designed to make any head-on attack pointless. This time
around, the terrorists created a new monstrous weapon and a new type of
explosives. Naturally, the only way to stop the destruction is to
annihilate the opponents while they are on the move. After this is
done, the player has to carefully plan the assault on the core base,
which is defended by the towers and is fortified with a new type of
metal alloy. Steely Bird has 24 new levels. There is a whole lot of
desert flying to do because this add-on is Iraq-based. The battle scene
is littered with burning oil barrels and is packed with industrial
objects where sneaky terrorist land units can hide to give them unfair
advantage. All 3D objects are remarkably well designed and bear a
distinct Air Force Missions style touch. The choice of helicopters in
Steely Bird is limited to 3 iron birdies, but all of the machines are
pure joy to pilot and attack with. The difficulty level has been
increased a couple of notches, so the game should please the most
demanding hard-core gamers. Even diehard helicopter simulator fans are
likely to get hooked on the game instantly. As in previous versions of
the game, there are briefings with the general who points out mission
objectives and gives hints how to outsmart the opponents.
