With plenty of replay value to be had through mission rankings, in-game collectibles and a vast list of missions to undertake, Dustoff Heli Rescue 2 certainly offers plenty of aerial bang for its buck. The mission template does repeat a little too often, but thankfully the art of maneuvering your helicopter around each level often elevates whatever cookie cutter goal you’ve tasked with completing. Silly and challenging in equal measure, this little port makes a relatively painless landing on Nintendo Switch.
The core flight feels good and each mission is an appropriately brief length that lends itself well to casual, quick play sessions. That makes it easy for me to overlook that it didn’t land without some turbulence.
With plenty of missions, its lifespan stands out positively but its control system needs tweaking, as it often happens that players will find themselves in difficulties in several moments. At the same time, the game could also use some more individual charm of its own.
While it would have been nice to see both Dustoff games in this package, there are loads of levels here to keep you going. Chances are you've not played much like it, so it's definitely an eShop title to try.
