Play Urban Strike on Snes Online

Urban Strike came out on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995, published by Electronic Arts. It was part of that mid-90s wave of action games that really pushed the hardware, offering a mix of top-down shooting and on-foot combat that felt ambitious for the time. The game was a sequel in the Strike series, continuing the trend of military-themed missions with a slightly more urban, close-quarters focus.

You control a pilot flying various helicopters, each with different weapons and handling, tasked with destroying enemy installations, vehicles, and personnel across multi-stage missions. The main objective is to dismantle a terrorist network by completing specific mission goals, like rescuing hostages or eliminating key targets. Signature mechanics include switching between air and ground combat; you often leave your helicopter to infiltrate buildings or secure areas on foot, managing limited ammunition and health packs. The pacing is relentless, with constant enemy reinforcements and environmental hazards, and the difficulty can be unforgiving, demanding careful resource management and quick reflexes. It feels chaotic and tense, like you're barely holding things together as explosions and gunfire erupt from every corner.
