One bomber, a sky full of fighters.
Hellstorm Gunners puts you and your friends inside a B-17 Flying Fortress. Every gun is a station you can walk to. Run down the fuselage, take the tail gun, swing over to the waist, climb into the top turret or drop into the ball. Fighters come from every clock position, and most of them come in low.Up to 8 players crew the same bomber online through Steam. If you are short of friends, bot gunners take the empty stations. A friend who joins takes over a bot's gun.
Hold the Fortress together
Engines catch fire. The tail gets shot up. The oxygen runs low. A damage map shows every section of the plane. Get to the repair point before the hit takes her down. A crewman who goes down can be revived by the others.Bomb a real target
The ground under you is real aerial photography of Paris and its suburbs, with real relief and real building outlines. In FACTORY: ATTACK you fly a timed bomb run on the engine works at Gennevilliers. Someone has to get to the bombsight in the nose and drop the train in the window. In BRIDGE: ATTACK you go in low over the countryside to cut a bridge and the supply columns crossing it.Or fly the fighters
- FACTORY: DEFEND: fly the German fighters. Lead your Schwarm against the Fortress, then against a whole formation. Lose a machine and take the next one.
- FACTORY: ESCORT: fly a P-51 Mustang beside a bot-crewed Fortress. Keep the bandits off her all the way to the target. Give your wingmen orders on the d-pad.
And when history isn't enough
- ALIEN INVASION: a mothership nine kilometres wide over Paris. Bomb its core, fly a saucer against the Fortress, or escort the bomber through the saucers.
- ZOMBIE RAIN: zombies parachute onto the bomber's back. Keep them off her from the top turret.
- BELLY BUSTER: solo survival sealed in the ball turret. Every attack comes from below.
