Overview
Description

Surgical Strike is an on‑rails action shooter set against full‑motion video backdrops of chaotic, war‑ravaged urban environments. Players pilot a heavily armored hovercraft, choosing between a 30 mm Gatling gun or laser‑guided rockets to eliminate hidden guerrillas while protecting civilians. The game challenges you to time your attacks, issue turn directives, and navigate 180‑degree pivots as AWACS provide intel. A single‑player experience crafted by The Code Monkeys and published by Sega, it delivers a tense, tactical shoot‑‘em‑up reminiscent of mid‑90s arcade titles.

Urban Strike expands the beloved helicopter‑based shoot ’em up formula of its predecessor, adding new vehicles and a continent‑spanning campaign. Players start in Hawaii and fly through Mexico, San Francisco, New York, and Las Vegas, blending fast‑paced action with light strategic planning. The game retains the core mechanics that made Jungle Strike a hit while introducing fresh mission objectives and varied terrain. Designed for single‑player fun, it offers a nostalgic retro experience for fans of 90s arcade shooters.
