I still remember with the original Chopper Game hit the iOS store so many years ago. It was fun, but I for some reason never got into it. I always seemed to die, and never really liked the “get to the end” gameplay (oh and the rockets were a b***h).
Ever since that game came out, I have subconsciously been watching the app store for other Helicopter games that were engaging, and a bit more approachable. Just a few short weeks ago, Dustoff Vietnam fulfilled my Helicopter desires with a great flying app.
It takes just a few minutes to understand and use the basic controls of Dustoff, but it takes several hours to master the gameplay enough to fly a maze in a Chinook. The gameplay is predictable: rescue GI’s or collect missing equipment. The challenge comes in flying your chopper through the wind, dodging enemies, and fly through mines to find all of the GI’s. It was a time consuming challenge to get all the way through (and earn all of the gold stars), but I loved every minute of it.

Summary
Dustoff is a fantastic app! Gameplay is simple, you touch either side of the screen. The puzzles and flying skill is quite another story. I found myself replaying missions over and over again as I went through a cave too quickly or missed a vital GI on the first go. It takes some practice to get everything right! The story is engaging, but it still remains simple, not overshadowing the gameplay. Overall, there is nothing I would change about this app, except for the number of missions, which I would like to see increased in subsequent patches… (here’s hoping).
