Development and release

The game was a follow-up to Enemy Engaged: Apache vs Havoc, and interconnectable with it. A Mac OS X version of the game was developed by Zonic Limited and published by Feral Interactive in November 2002.[1]

The source code has been released around 2003[2] under an own license.[3] This resulted then in a heavily modified game by the game's community who continued the support.[4] In 2009 the game was re-released as digital distribution on GOG.com.

The latest community update was released in April 2020.[5]

Reception

The editors of Computer Gaming World named Comanche vs. Hokum the best simulation game of 2000. They highlighted its "superb flight physics, intelligent AI, and outstanding eye and ear candy", and concluded, "In a beleaguered genre, it's good to see a developer invest the time and energy to produce a standout."[6] The editors of Computer Games Magazine also nominated Comanche vs. Hokum for their 2000 "Simulation of the Year" award.[7]

Doug Trueman reviewed the PC version of the game for Next Generation, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "For those who love hyper-realistic simulations, they don't get much more hyper-realistic than this."[8]
