Heli Heroes hits final beta

Zuxxez Entertainment has announced that Heli Heroes, its upcoming helicopter combat game, has reached the final stage of beta testing. The arcade-style action game is in development at Reality Pump Studios, the studio that created Earth 2150 and World War III: Black Gold.

Heli Heroes is set in the future during World War III, and it lets players control two advanced helicopters--the AH-64 Apache Longbow and the Russian Hokum--in a variety of missions ranging from destroying Iraqi oil fields to battles in Alaska. Players can also upgrade their helicopter with new weapons and defensive systems as they progress through the game. In addition to the story-driven single-player mode, the game will feature a companion mode for two players. Zuxxez plans to release a playable demo of the game soon.

Heli Heroes is scheduled for release later this year. For more information, take a look at our previous coverage of the game.
