![]() As the unmanned drone, Comanche ends up feeling a little bit more like Descent than a helicopter game. Screenshot: Comancheįlying the drone is a completely different story. The weapons themselves feel extremely underpowered, too, with many enemies having a long time to kill. The ability that allows your cannon to auto aim feels like it should be the default mode. Aiming and flying is not the easiest, and with no independent aim on the auto gun, it makes attacking feel like a weird airplane instead of a helicopter. You have your main autocannon, and a few special attacks, like dumbfire missiles, guided missiles, and even an auto-aim for your cannon. The combat itself is a little lackluster, though. Flying through canyons, and squeezing into tight spaces is as fun as fighting off waves of enemy helicopters and boats. But once you do get the hang of flying in Comanche, it’s a blast. Flying the helicopter feels almost like flying a helicopter in ARMA III, and is something you may struggle with picking up and playing right away, even with the optional flight assists turned on. If you go in wanting a sim, you’ll be frustrated for want of more sim-like features and considerations. If you go looking for a fast-paced arcade experience, you’ll be disappointed-and maybe even frustrated with the controls. ![]() Screenshot: ComancheĬomanche is not-quite-sim and not-quite-arcade. And while the old Comanche series bills itself as simulation, Comanche sits in a strange midfield between arcade and hard simulation. But in an ironic move, your Comanche comes equipped with a drone you can pilot to get into small, man-sized spaces. The storyline of Comanche follows this-and takes place in a future where UAVs are unreliable, so manned aerial vehicles make a return. It’s surprising not only because the series is so old, but the RAH-66 Comanche, on which the video games were based, ceased development in 2004 to make way for the new hotness: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVS). Nineteen years after the release of Comanche 4, Comanche has made its way back to PC. So, you can imagine my surprise when THQ released into Early Access a futuristic helicopter game bearing that name. The gameplay in itself is boring.Comanche is a game series I haven’t thought of in over a decade. If you love helicopter simulators then play this game otherwise you can opt for other helicopter games also. Comanche 2 came has a huge disappointment as it lacks almost everything. If it is a night mission, you will be shooting your own teammates! The mission overview gives you the description of the enemy helicopter and another helicopter which is on your side but that’s it. It is definitely hard to tell what is “high detail” and what is normal. Most simulation games are known for their graphics and details. A map is a good indicator to show you where to go. An on-screen indicator which was used in the previous Rogue Squadron is also not added in this game. ![]() No help from your wingman or help from your Homebase. Instructions are given at the beginning of the mission but after that, there is no help whatsoever. ![]() Some of these missions are so tough that they are next to impossible to beat. The starting missions are simple and easy to play but they get harder and harder as the time progresses. In the game, there are a total of 60 missions to play. It is difficult to shoot them when they are above you. ![]() The helicopter is hard to control but they are quite easy to shoot when the enemy helicopter is in your sight. This is one of the not so good Simulator games of DOS. This is a helicopter, Vehicular Simulator Game. Comanche 2 is a DOS game released in the year 1995. ![]()
