How it feels

A thrilling arcade flight combat experience that balances pick-up-and-play ease with high-speed, intense dogfights and epic action.

What players say

Players call this a love letter to Ace Combat with gameplay that surpasses its inspiration for many. The campaign is replayable, the soundtrack is praised, but boss fights turn into arcade bullet hell. VR mode is broken on the current version, and HOTAS users report menu navigation is unusable. Players split on the story, some calling it cheesy anime, others saying it is passable at best.
