About Killing Cloud

Killing Cloud presents a flight simulation scenario distinguished by its environmental hazard. An opaque orange smog layer, which gives the game its name, blankets San Francisco at a mid skyscraper height. This creates a constrained operational zone for the player, who pilots a hoverbike as a member of the city's police force.

The core objective across ten missions is to dismantle a gang called Black Angel. Mission structure varies, blending direct combat with more tactical operations. A persistent challenging factor is a strict time limit, as the player's vehicle can only endure twenty minutes within the toxic cloud.

Success requires more than aerial engagement. Ground forces must be deployed in advance using Pick Up Pods to apprehend downed suspects. Following an arrest, interrogation is necessary to uncover intelligence that directs the player toward the next threat.

San Francisco is beautiful! Er, except for that thick layer of pea-soup smog covering everything.
