A Gulf War veteran returns to the skies in this shooter inspired by Desert Strike.

Overview

Cleared Hot is an isometric helicopter-based shooter developed by Not Knowing Corporation and published by MicroProse. It is inspired by the Strike-series of games, in particular the first two games Desert Strike and Jungle Strike, while taking advantage of modern 3D graphics and physics.

The game follows a Gulf War veteran who returns to the skies decades later, taking on various mercenary jobs as a helicopter pilot. Players can amass a small fleet of helicopters, armed with various weapons such as machine guns and missiles. In addition, each helicopter has a grappling cable that can be used to rescue people, retrieve supply crates, or grab onto objects and swing them around like a wrecking ball.
