Cleared Hot - Desert Strike-ish

[Misfit]

Cleared Hot has just gone into early access on Steam and it's a lot of fun.

Think Desert Strike etc, but more action-oriented.

Only the first campaign (without side missions) so far, but well worth the price of admission (10% off at £11.50 for a few more days).

Plays great on the Steam Deck

And based on other recent conversations here, I quickly fired it up via Crossover on my M1 Pro MacBook, and it defaulted to full-screen/resolution on my Ultrawide (3440x1440) and ran really well!

No gamepad at work (and work to do), and keyboard and mouse were a bit much for me to handle, so it was just a quick test.

Had my eye on this becuase it looks like the type I enjoy.

Always a bit cautious about the gameplay though, games always look good in videos and don't always come across with the right feel in actual play.

However, if you're enjoying it so far and think it's worth it I might just have to take a look myself.

I think I'd go with the 1400 overwhelmingly positive reviews in the first week rather than me!

(and the fact that you can always refund it if you don't like it)

Just noticed Airwolf is in the game (Well, Skywolf). I'm hoping for Navy Thunder one day...

Dammit, you beat me to mentioning not-quite-The-Lady! Remember, if you play as that one, you have to weep into the sun whilst playing the cello the whole time!
