'Heliborne' (ALL) Free To Play On Steam This Weekend, Bonus DLC

by Rainier on May 8, 2020 @ 12:23 a.m. PDT

In Heliborne: Enhanced Edition you take control of the most famous military helicopters in history, from classic machines from the 1950s to modern helicopters of the 21st century.

Heliborne offers a single player mode where you can test your skills during historical missions taking place in such war-stricken areas as: Korea, Vietnam or Afghanistan.

The networked multiplayer mode enables direct competition with players from all over the world in numerous modes such as team deathmatch or capture the flag.

In terms of gameplay mechanics, Heliborne draws inspiration from MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) such as World of Tanks and World of Warplanes, enriching them with realism in rendering the battlefield and particular attention to detail in the mechanics of flying a combat helicopter. The game also enables you to play in Skirmish and Frontline modes. The first one resembles a conquest known from the Battlefield series. Players fight against each other and occupy the territories located on the map. Their task is to reduce the number of opponent's points to zero.

The Frontline mode you need to take over the connected sectors in an optimal order, which will eventually lead to break into the fields controlled by the opponent.
