Thunder Wolves is an arcade helicopter shooter with over-the-top gameplay. The game is set in 1991 and the player takes control of the helicopter pilot Max and his partner Blister. In thirteen missions set in four locations over the world, up to nine different type of choppers with an arsenal of weapons are used to defeat the terrorist group The Serpent that has risen again. The game can be played from a first-person or third-person perspective and throughout the actions the characters constantly launch one-liners.
Enemies fight from the air, sea and ground and there are missions goals to escort a group of soldiers or to destroy specific aircrafts. Helicopters have unlimited base ammo and a number of special weapons such as lock-on missiles and air strikes. Adding to the gameplay are some on-rails sections, a driving segment and a part where ground turrets are controlled. There is also a sniper section where targets need to be taken out using a scope. Helicopters cannot be upgraded, but their visual appearance can be altered.
