Contents
The game is a combat flight simulator where players may pilot several types of Apache attack helicopters. The primary goal of most missions is to stop terrorist attacks in fictional, volatile war-ravaged regions.
Aircraft
The main web page for the game shows several different aircraft including A-10's and drones.
All playable aircraft can be customised with decals. In addition, the player can choose different control layouts in correspondence to their controller.

Apache supports local and online multiplayer. During the local multiplayer, two players can play on the same console sharing the same view as pilot and gunner in one helicopter.
Online multiplayer allows co-op missions where each player pilots their own helicopter up to a maximum of four players.

Playstation Weekly's Chace Frost awarded Apache: Air Assault a bronze trophy. He stated that the graphics were above average, but the multiplayer was lacking.
