Desert War / Wangan Sensou (ver 1.0) — About this game
Desert War gives the helicopter a rescue objective alongside its attacks on enemy installations. Landing near prisoners takes them aboard, and the next helipad provides a place to unload them. These pickups and deliveries add fuel, while some special passengers supply upgrades or other aid. Fuel continues to fall as the helicopter controls the pace of the battlefield, so fighting and transport both have to serve the current mission.
