About the Game

CLEARED HOT is a nostalgic helicopter shooter with satisfying physics and light tactical elements. Shoot, dodge, move your squad around the battlefield, and pick up almost anything with your rope and magnet.

With fully physics-based action, you can get creative and use the environment to your advantage. Send enemies ragdolling through the air with your rockets, or use your rope to throw rocks at the enemy.

Transport your squad to take enemy territory, or position them to defend your own base. Deploy them wisely to complete your objectives, and try not to drop too many along the way.

Haul a**…and just about anything else. Redirect heat seeking missiles. Carry a tank to help you assault an enemy base. Pick up enemies and send them flying to their death. You can pick up anything that's not tied down, so get creative.

  • Physics based movement. Pick up vehicles, enemies, or redirect heat seeking missiles. Discover emergent gameplay.

  • Full single player campaign

  • 8 playable helicopters

  • Customizable loadouts

  • 3 biomes: Desert, Jungle, Arctic

  • Day and night missions

  • Wide range of physics based enemy vehicles: tanks, jeeps, technicals, anti-air turrets, boats, and fighter jets
