Remember the Strike series during the 16bit era? A new indie studio decided to make a new spiritual successor to the series and it looks pretty damn good. Today, they announced they got none other than Microprose to publish their game. Check it out.

 

[SolidQ]

Oh you created topic. Microprose still alive?
Hope at least near same as Urban, Jungle,Desert Strike

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I've had this one on my wishlist for what feels like bloody ages. Really looking forward to this one and hoping it drops before the end of the year.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

What about a console port??

 

[EviLore]

Looks like it has the right look and feel. Neat.

 

[El Muerto]

What about a console port??

The dev posted on reddit that they would like to bring the game to consoles but doing Steam first. Probably to make enough money so they can afford to post it on PSN/Xbox.

 

[Ristifer]

Couldn't be more in for this.

 

[Dr Cowley]

Wish listed a few months back. Looks awesome. Micro prose Is a name I've not seen in a while

 

[Mossybrew]

I loved these games back in the day. I don't know if they'd maintain my interest nowadays.

 

[ManaByte]

spiritual successor

Most of the time theses end up to be shit.

 

[AJUMP23]

It looks cool and fun. I saw it on Reddit earlier.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

There's another one released earlier this year, that I want to pick up on a sale:

 

[Evolved1]

i always wished EA would take the (amazing balance of arcade and sim) helicopter gameplay from Battlefield 3 and wrap a STRIKE game around it. would've been easy and cheap. oh well.

this pretty cool though

 

[BossLackey]

Oh hell yeah. This looks sick!

Wishlisted.

 

[Gp1]

The "new" Micropose has a bunch of very interesting niche games.

It's already one of my favorites small publishers.

 

[BossLackey]

Not exactly the same genre, but Brigador is freaking awesome.

 

[Kadve]

There's another one released earlier this year, that I want to pick up on a sale:

And even before that you sorta had the game Avalanche made.

I loved Desert, Jungle, and Soviet Strike. Never played Urban or Nuclear. I did get a game called Jupiter Strike thinking it was a space version but it was completely different.

 

[nikos]

Loved those games back in the day. Definitely in on this.

Cleared Hot is a nostalgic helicopter shooter combining satisfying physics with light tactical elements for an action-packed experience. Shoot, dodge, and lead your squad across diverse battlefields, and use your rope and magnet to pick up almost anything in sight.

[SomeNorseGuy]

Too many fun looking games, can't buy them all. Not enough time. Yep, it stops now.




*adds to wishlist*

 

[Lux77]

Demo is really good

 

[Unknown?]

Desert Strike was one of the first games I ever played. Love these games! Will try it out.

 

[Esca]

I've been wanting and itching for a new strike game for ages. Downloaded demo now

 

[Stevonidas]

They hit a home run with the demo. The presentation could use a little more polish, but I'm looking forward to getting this one, regardless. Brings back memories of Strike!

 

[salva]

Just played the demo, really good. Can't wait for the full release - especially for playing the Deck

 

[MrSmooth]

Demo is good. Initially thought it was a bit simplistic, but the physics work well and the difficulty ramps up on the first mission, post tutorial. Music is a bit bland though.

Holy shit how did I miss this before.

[nikos]

Game has released in Early Access. I want to play it but may wait for later version or even 1.0 to get the full experience.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

CLEARED HOT has officially launched into Early Access — a nostalgic helicopter shooter packed with satisfying physics, light tactical elements, and pure chaotic fun.

Fly low, shoot fast, dodge everything, and command your squad across dynamic battlefields. Use your rope and magnet to pick up… pretty much anything — vehicles, crates, objectives, you name it.
