If you ever played any of the Strike games (Desert, Jungle, Urban, Soviet, Nuclear) you’ll enjoy this. If you didn’t play you’ll probably still enjoy this. You fly a helicopter around and shoot stuff. What’s not to like? Controls feel smooth, gameplay is fun.

Yes. Simply yes to just about everything. Mechanics good? Yes Story/dialogue funny? Yes Replay childhood fantasy of being Air Wolf? Yes Does the Apache play like you think it should? Yes It's this fun on the Steam Deck? Yes

The new update relies far too heavily on just using the new abilities rather than actually doing anything fun with the helicopter. Drone swarms you have to hit with EMPs. Chaffe you need for missiles that track you far better than before, etc. Overall, it's just not fun anymore. Act 1 was great. Act 2 is a huge let down for me.
