Raid & Rescue

You fly the only helicopter your side has. Everything else you have to pay for. Raid & Rescue is a side-scrolling war of attrition fought across a single valley. Your base sits at one end, the enemy commander's at the other, and between them is a front line that moves all afternoon. You extract downed pilots to earn your buyback, capture houses to raise infantry, and spend a live economy on the tanks and rocket launchers that do the actual grinding forward. Then you get back in the air, because the ground force cannot break a gun emplacement on its own. THE HELICOPTER IS A TOOL, NOT A WIN BUTTON Three lives, and a buyback when you lose one. You have missiles, bombs, gun rounds, and a landing pad that is the only place to refuel or rearm. Land too hard and you crash your own aircraft. Land on infantry and you kill your own infantry. You control the flow of the battle. A CAMPAIGN THAT DOES NOT RUN OUT Multiple missions, each with different difficulty levels. Beat a level's par time and the next one opens. Every mission has its own field length, its own house and gun-emplacement layout, and its own enemy air-defence problem. AN ARMY YOU BUILD, NOT ONE YOU UNLOCK Tanks, armored vans, rocket launchers, infantry and specialist teams, in upgradable packages. The research lab runs timed projects that lift prices, speeds and capabilities across a whole line. Recon balloons spot for you. Gun emplacements are anti-air flak with no safe approach angle, and a lone specialist can wreck one, then rebuild it. AN OPPONENT THAT PLAYS THE SAME GAME The enemy commander obeys your economy and your rules. It buys against you, garrisons houses, keeps its own helicopter flying, lands to board soldiers, bombs your strongpoints and paradrops beside them. It weaves on the run home and returns fire while withdrawing. Ten difficulty levels change its doctrine, not just its aim. PLAYS OFFLINE, KEEPS YOUR PROGRESS The whole game runs with no connection. Battles are resumable — leave mid-mission and the simulation is saved exactly where you left it. Play as a guest with no account at all, or sign in to carry progress to another device and appear on the fastest-clear leaderboards. ADS AND PURCHASES, PLAINLY There is exactly one ad in this game: when you choose to open a supply crate you caught mid-battle, and only if you choose to. There are no banners, no interstitials, and nothing interrupts a mission. The War Chest sells War Bonds and one-time Commissions, including one that stops the game ever offering you an ad. Nothing in the campaign is locked behind a purchase.
