Apache: Air Assault is a combat flight simulator video game for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[1] It was developed by Russian developer Gaijin Entertainment and published by Activision.
The game is a combat flight simulator where players may pilot several types of Apache attack helicopters. The primary goal of most missions is to stop terrorist attacks in fictional, volatile war-ravaged regions.[1] The engine used to power the game is very similar to that of IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey, a plane simulation title released in 2009 for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
