Hot LZ: a helicopter game from the Crimson Haze team
Hot LZ · 1 min read #hot-lz#crimson-haze
We've started a new game. Crimson Haze: Hot LZ is a helicopter action game set in the Vietnam War, built on the same ground as Crimson Haze.
You fly over a big open map of jungle, river and firebases. Each mission is a list of jobs: knock out the anti-aircraft guns, hit a convoy, bring a downed crew home. To pick people up you have to land, and then you're sitting still while the ground shoots at you.
There are three helicopters. The gunship fights, the transport carries, and the scout finds things. On your own you can fly any of them and order the others to escort you or pick people up. With friends, it's three-player online co-op, or split screen on one machine.
It's early and a lot will change. Here's the first footage:
It's for Windows and Mac. We'll share more as it comes together.
