'Comanche' Available Through Steam Early Access, Reveals Roadmap - Trailer

by Rainier on March 12, 2020 @ 9:59 a.m. PDT

Comanche is a team-based online multiplayer helicopter shooter set in the near future, in which you engage with your team of 4 pilots in intense helicopter dogfights and sneaky close-quarter drone combat to attack or defend high-value targets in areas of difficult access.

Choose from an array of Comanche and drone configurations, and utilize their strengths to your tactical advantage. Experience a new era of thrilling dog-fights and stealthy drone close quarter action.

After the Iran-US RQ170 incident, in which a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was hacked and captured through cyberwarfare, the US army secretly revived the development of the RAH-66 helicopter program for special operations. The goal was to develop a highly maneuverable, highly advanced stealth war machine for impervious and mountainous terrain, that can deploy unhackable low-range drones to operate in high-risk environments. The program was a full success, and the Comanche special units seemed unstoppable in their missions.

But then the blueprints leaked through a whistleblower website, and so every group and power, who could afford it, built and modified the Comanche for their own purposes. A new era of helicopter warfare had begun.

Steer your high-tech Comanche into air-to-air dogfights. Switch to your drone seamlessly, and engage in close quarters combat inside buildings and tunnel systems to initiate or repel hacks.

Play either as attacker or defender in 4 vs 4 battles, and choose from various Comanche and drone models with spectacular special abilities.

Engines: ready! Weapons: ready! Companion Drone: ready! Pilots: are you ready?

Comanche lifts-off today for a routine Early Access launch on Steam for € 19.99 / $  19.99  / £ 17.99 / 999.00 Rub.

Mission goals are: generate fun among players. Gather feedback. Return to base and update strategy according to the feedback & upgrade the game regularly.

At the start of the Early Access Phase Comanche will offer 3 different game modes:

Singleplayer: As requested by the community, Comanche will get a singleplayer campaign. Starting with one mission available from March 12th on, developer Nukklear will add new missions on a regular basis.

Multiplayer: The 4vs4 team-based multiplayer will start with two modes, one called Black Box, the other Infiltration. In Black Box, the goal is to collect more black boxes from destroyed Comanches with your drone. You can collect both enemy and friendly black boxes using the drone, so this mode guarantees intense team fights at close range. Infiltration again combines helicopter combat and drone piloting: your objective is to either defend or infiltrate a base. Attackers must place an EMP, defenders must disarm it.

Flight & Combat Training: In a variety of different missions, you can learn how to fly your Comanche and its drone to familiarise yourself with the flight controls and how to maneuver in combat. As Comanche requires some practice before you become a good pilot, we highly recommend players check out the training missions.

Five Comanches and four drones will be available at the Early Access launch, all coming with specific weapons, abilities and strengths and weaknesses. Each type of Comanche has a certain role to fulfill in the team-based combat and is suitable for a special type of player, so choose your favorite.


What to expect in the next months?

The developer has defined a roadmap for the next months of Early Access but we really want to emphasize, that the community will have a voice in the development process. Here is the roadmap:
