Description
Comanche is a modern helicopter shooter set in an alternative future. Fight in the evolving singleplayer campaign, master your skills in Conflicts missions, or compete with other players in the explosive team-based multiplayer modes.
Evolving singleplayer campaign
Fight in the evolving singleplayer campaign and make a difference in a conflict of global proportions. After the Iran-US RQ170 incident, in which a UAV was hacked and captured through cyber warfare, the US army secretly revived the development of the RAH-66 helicopter program for special operations. The goal was to develop a highly maneuverable and advanced stealth war machine capable of deploy low-range drones operating in high-risk environments.
The program was a total success, and the Comanche special units seemed unstoppable in their missions. But then, when the blueprints leaked through a whistleblower website, every group, and power, who could afford it, built and modified the Comanche for their purposes. With that, a new era of helicopter warfare had begun.
Skill-based Conflicts missions
Master challenging missions in singleplayer game mode called Conflicts. Complete different objectives, earn medals for special tasks, and learn about Tellus Task Force's world, the part of IJTF. Each medal provides its challenge, so prepare to test your skills!
Team-based multiplayer
Compete with other Comanche players from all around the world in explosive team-based multiplayer modes!
Infiltration
Play either as the attacker or the defender in this explosive objective-based competitive tactical team multiplayer. Compete in 4 vs. 4 battles and choose from various Comanche and drone models with spectacular special abilities.
Blackbox
This fast-paced multiplayer mode is Team-Deathmatch with kill confirmation! Coordinate with your team and find the fastest way to achieve the most takedowns. Heated dogfights are guaranteed!
... but beware of the hardware requirements! For more than 1080p (low/middle settings with turned off post-process and low shadows) the Vega 8/10 integrated graphics won't be enough.
Some good points:
+ graphics and sounds are top quality
+ the game has a tutorial mission, that will show you all the basics
+ missions bassed single-player experience, played through the first two missions, didn't encounter any bug(s) yet
+ playable with Mouse + Keyboard combo or gamepad (tried with and old X-Input/Xbox360 chinese clone gamepad)
I didn't try the multiplayer.
The offline-installer version in GOG library shows version 0.96a as of time of writing.
Tested on Windows 10 Home 64-bit 21H1, AMD Ryzen 7 4750G with Radeon VEGA 8, 32 GB RAM DDR4 3200 MHz, Crucial 1 TB SSD SATA.
For these, who liked the old helicopter action games like Super Huey, different Apache etc. action games, this will be a very good experience.
👌
Not that I've played many helicopter games, but I went into Comanche not having played any of the previous Comanche games, so I had no expectations or comparisons. Now, I do understand why someone looking for an attack helicopter simulator could be disappointed with this one, as it indeed is suited for an arcade experience. And by 'arcade', I mean the type of controls and gameplay options included here.
The visuals are good, sound is good, the story thus far is intriguing - freelance mercenary good guys up against secretive, well financed terror organization type stuff.
The kinds of vehicles you fly are varied, with cloaking 'copters, heavier attack style 'copters and even remote piloted drones of various sorts at your disposal.
So don't hate me hardcore Comanche fans, but I'm enjoying playing this one.
While the Comanche franchise from Novalogic could be best described as Sim-lite, this game is a full on arcade action game. That said, it is at least fun even if the first 2 levels are too long.
Here is my First Impressions video for those curious:

Can't change language without changing OS language. Insanity.
Especially since the German Translation is abysmal.
"Thrust Right" => "Feuer Rechts" yea... right...
Absolutely abysmal controls; and for a game like this...that is a death sentence. Also no ability to switch from 1st to 3rd person on the fly; you have to open the menu...just...WHY.
