Choppa: Rescue Rivals

Take to the skies in Choppa: Rescue Rivals! Pilot daring rescue missions in a Saturday-morning-anime story mode packed with high-stakes action, colorful characters, and a globe-trotting adventure. Save lives, outfly rivals, and become a legendary ace pilot!

Choppa: Rescue Rivals is a modern-but-retro reimagining of the arcade-style action games made famous by 1980s classics like Choplifter, with a touch of Nintendo mixed in. Like many, we share a deep nostalgia for the vibrant world of the ‘80s and ‘90s media: Arcade games, toys, cartoons and anime that defined our childhoods. Driven by this passion, we set out to create a game that brings those cherished memories to life.

A Nostalgic "Saturday Morning Anime" Storyline

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 outmaneuver their foes to thwart Burdock's dark ambitions.
