Valkyrie

aka: Cobra Strike
Moby ID: 25394

Description

Valkyrie is, according to the box, one of the most simple to use flight simulators ever created. The game is designed to be as easy as possible to use while teaching you the basics of dogfighting at the same time. The game automatically adjusts the ship's rotor according to your input, leaving you free to decide how to attack or evade the oncoming enemies!

The game features ten different missions with varying difficulty levels and three-dimensional graphics. You can fight up to three computer opponents during your training sessions, and missions where you attack the enemy or defend your base. The game was created by one man: Donald A. Hill, Jr.

A good game for it's era, but its age shows.

The Good
This was a fun game for it's era, and balanced the sim aspects pretty well. Controls are based on mouse and keyboard, with keyboard controlling rudder and collective (vertical control), with the mouse controlling pitch and bank. There's a toggle to switch mouse control to the nose gun. Your helo is also equipped with unguided rockets. Enemy AI is decently challenging, and you will find yourself repeating missions due to being shot down.

The Bad
The graphics are very low-poly 3D graphics from before 3D graphics cards came out, and the controls don't even map well to a joystick. The way the mouse swaps from flight controls to gun controls makes dogfighting trickier than it should be.

The Bottom Line
My rating for the game is based mostly on my enjoyment of the game back in the era it was released. It would be difficult to go back compared to modern games.
