The name we're going to talk about this time, “Star Fighter War,” sounds like science fiction, but it's actually a serious military helicopter flight simulation game. The developer is Beijing Pocket Yiyou. It is currently free to download and has no in-app purchases. Let me make this premise clear first.
Let's talk about the picture first. The name and introduction of this game both have a "machine flavor", but the actual graphics are not as rough as imagined. The helicopter model is indeed detailed. The Chinook's twin rotors and cockpit dashboard are all exactly the same. The texture of the ground scene is slightly stretched, and the trees and buildings look like the level of mobile games ten years ago. Overall, it is a typical example of "fine model and acceptable environment", but considering the free game, this picture is barely passable.
The gameplay is the highlight. It claims to have an open world, and it does give you a large map where you can fly freely. The core mission is 20 transportation levels. To put it bluntly, it means driving a helicopter to pick up people and deliver supplies to designated locations, and occasionally avoid enemy fire. The operation feels more hard-core, and the inertia of the helicopter is made more realistic. Novices are prone to crashing into mountains or turning their nose into the sky. This is commendable. It is not a one-button auto-flight idle game. You really have to control the throttle, steering and attitude. However, the mission design is relatively monotonous, basically "fly to point A - wait for loading - fly to point B - unload", and the novelty cannot sustain the five levels. To a large extent, openness only allows you to fly around without any problems, and lacks opportunities to pick up leaks and emergencies.
There is 0 krypton gold, no in-app purchases, and no forced advertising, which is very conscientious. But please note that this kind of free games usually rely on advertisements to survive. There are no pop-ups in the current test, which is a surprise.
Social features are almost zero. There is no online mode, no leaderboards, and no ability to interact with friends. It is a pure stand-alone simulator. If you want to show off your flying skills, you can only record the screen and post it yourself. The built-in achievement system in the game is better than nothing.
Overall, this game is suitable for players who are curious about helicopter flying, especially those who like hard-core operations. It is very generous to be able to experience twenty levels for free. But if you're looking forward to exciting combat or rich mission content, then it will make you yawn.
The graphics are 7 points, the gameplay is 6 points. The guidance of interface interaction is slightly poor. There is no operation instructions at the beginning of the task. I have to press and try it out by myself. This point is deducted.
Overall rating: 6.8/10. Advantages: Free, realistic models, and tactile operation; Disadvantages: repetitive tasks, poor environment maps, and no social interaction. Recommended for hardcore players who want to be a "virtual pilot", casual players can take a detour.
