It’s simple and to the point: you shoot baddies with your machine gun from a helicopter. The visuals look wonderful, and the gun controls work flawlessly. It’s just very short.
HeliRaid hits hard: the gameplay is fluid, the action non-stop.
You shoot from your helicopter, without having to do any VR pirouettes.
The dystopian setting in 2096 is immersive without being excessive, and the constant frame rate alleviates motion sickness.
Free on Quest in its early access demo mode, it's an excellent appetizer for rail-shooter fans.
We can't wait to discover the full game, the first mission being short but exhilarating, reminiscent of major arcade titles from the 90s like Virtua Cop or House of the Dead. Two rail-shooters that truly left their mark on their era. Could Heliraid be the one to leave its mark on VR?
We hope so because it's off to a great start!
Note that a pack purchased in-game gives you access to a new, more powerful weapon. This pack is intended to support the studio.

I like it.
Its an interesting game with a Universe I'm taking a keen interest in, if the full game comes out im definitely gonna buy, and I hope in the future new games in this universe could come out, one I imagine sometimes is one where you are apart of the Order, idk what it'd be like though, but back to what I was saying, this game has some great potential.
This is a good start, and I would like to see more levels and more difficulties. I enjoyed the few minutes it takes to run the one run it has. I even bought something to fund the development with hopes of a future for this game.
This game pretty much kicks butt. It is fun as hell sitting in the door of the chopper and laying waste to those who wish to do us harm. I bought the Support Pack so I got the mini-gun upgrade and that baby REALLY kicks butt. It's a ton of fun. Hopefully, we get the full game soon!
