Choppa: Rescue Rivals airlifts in Saturday TV arcade fun

Some seven years in development, with a manga-tinged art style, and delivering Saturday morning cartoon capers, Choppa: Rescue Rivals from Finland's Parta Games arrives in August for the Switch and Steam.  

Using the environment and a range of Wacky Racers style tools, the pilot needs to rescue other craft and people in various predicaments, ahead of rival crews trying to steal your (blue) thunder. 


According to the blurb, "Step into the cockpit with Rick, a legendary rescue chopper pilot coaxed out of retirement for one last, crucial mission on a disaster-ravaged oil rig. With his rescue pilot license freshly reinstated, Rick is thrust into an unexpected scuffle with Burdock, his former wingman turned adversary, uncovering a sinister plot led by the malevolent A.C.R corporation. As the stakes soar higher, Rick and his comrades from the Thunderbolt Rescue Foundation must outwit and outmanoeuvre their foes to thwart Burdock's dark ambitions."
