Sorry Mac users, Hammerfall is a Windows only gem. I’ve been bugging out on the demo release’s keen physics and oddly engaging gladiator-esque plot. In a blurb, you are the pilot of a helicopter with a giant sword, or mace, or hammer hanging from it. You can swing your appendage around and destroy any foes in your way. I know it is a cliche but the game mechanics are smooth and I keep waiting for it to end, but over 2 hours later (which is a marathon by my gaming standards these days), the plot still carries on.

By the way, the English translation is spotty at best. It feels like watching a poorly subtitled movie. I think this actually adds to some of the charm. Give it a shot. It feels like Rygar… except with helicopters.
