How it feels

A fast, arcade-flight shooter that throws you into explosive dogfights with cinematic set-pieces and on-rails urgency.

What players say

Players call it a "Call of Duty with planes" that splits the fanbase. The forced dogfighting mode automates turning and shooting, which some find cinematic and others find unfun. Long-time series fans say it lacks the classic Ace Combat feel and lore, but newcomers or those wanting arcade action often enjoy the spectacle.
