ABOUT THE GAME

C.H.A.O.S (Combat helicopter assault operational simulator) is a multiplayer helicopter

simulation game. The game offers a wide range of combat helicopters for piloting and

combat employment in various combat conditions.

Helicopter is a unique aircraft able to take off and land vertically on unprepared

ground, on decks of moving ships and even on roofs of buildings, hover at an altitude

of 6000 meters and rapidly turn around in a horizontal plane, fly sideways and tail first.

Powerful modern weapons systems, high maneuverability, sturdy armor and effective

means of attack make combat helicopters an effective and formidable weapon,

indispensable in any modern military conflict. Military helicopters are designed to

perform different combat missions: fire support, assault, reconnaissance,

transportation, rescue and many others. The availability and composition of helicopter

fleet largely determines the level of equipment of the armed forces of any country.

Besides player's helicopter, the game includes a great number of other helicopters, sea

and land military equipment controlled by computer program or artificial intelligence

(AI). They help to create a variety of combat situations. If the character created and

controlled by the player successfully fulfills combat tasks, it increases its rating and is

promoted to the next rank.

The game can be played as a standalone (offline) as well as in multiplayer-network

(online) mode.

Game genre is a mix of Arcade Simulator, Shooter and Role-playing (RPG).

Arcade Simulator allows you to easily operate a helicopter following your intuition, to

perform complicated maneuvers and use various weapons systems.

Shooter allows you to use helicopter weapons observing the targets in first-person

view (out of a helicopter cockpit) as well as from the sidelines.

RPG allows players to select different types of helicopters, configure them increasing

their combat capabilities, to accumulate experience for selected characters and earn

"game" money.

According to its complexity and fascination C.H.A.O.S falls into the category of casual

games. It won't take you long to get to know the game and its thorough optimization

makes it possible to use it on a wide range of mobile devices and personal computers.

The basic platforms for C.H.A.O.S game are iPhone/iPad, mobile devices running

Android 3.0, Windows 7, Mac OS (Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion).
