Controls nicely and the arcade feel makes it a easy to get into game. Will definitely be looking foward to the rest of the series.

Although I hated the cutscenes in terms of story (was a bit too dramatic for my taste, I guess its the japanese way), the dialogue in gameplay was very enjoyable and you could skip everything if you so wished.

Ace Combat was a franchise I played a lot during the PlayStation 2 era. I think some of my passion for airplanes started with those gaming sessions. I think I was able to feel a bit of what I felt as a kid when I played Ace Combat 7. I picked it up during a period when I hadn't been playing games for a while, as nothing really motivated me. I was feeling discouraged about gaming and everything else, really. But with Ace Combat 7, I could simply grab my controller, sit on my bed, and enjoy the game. The story is good, and you can immerse yourself and "get into character." I really enjoyed the mode for unlocking aircraft and upgrades; I was eager to play so I could get the plane I wanted to fly. I've finished the game's story once and am on my second playthrough. I continue to play, and the game is a lot of fun, with all the typical mechanics of the series and engaging gameplay. I highly recommend this game!

military propaganda that works

For me Ace Combat 5 will always have a special place in my heart and will probably be my favourite game of the franchise. But this one just... man. It looks so good, it sounds so good, it flies so good, it FEELS so good to play. That's all, nothing more is needed. Just the sheer joy of picking your fave plane, your fave weaponry and blow shit up is the only thing I need to give this game a nearly perfect score even if I think is not as good as other games in the franchise.

Everything is just... wow. Omg the MUSIC!!! Epic fighter jets with epic stuff happening. I couldn't be happier.


Trigger : " i need an AWACS to kiss "
Count : " do you think that just because youre captain it makes that sentence any less pathetic? "

Did a soviet/russian jet only run. Love this game

skies unknown all i see is skies of PEAK

Me introduziu numa lore desgraçadamente complexa.

A beautiful game with good gameplay and a serviceable plot. It doesn't have the same level of charm as some of it's older brothers, but its definitely a good return to form.

I am patiently waiting for Ace Combat 8

there is no deeper meaning behind the high ah score i gave to this game, ace combat 7 is the final result of a formula that has been perfected over the course of 7 iterations and the thrill and childhood fantasy of flying a fighter plane has never been done better than this, it is by no means realistic and better for it, ace combat 7 (and all the other ace combats) are not an attempt to simulate what air combat but the childhood fantasy of what a kid thinks air combat is like and it is better for it, so to summarise, flying plane cool

9 Awesome. Gameplay & Music. Story cool.

The game has a very crispy gameplay. My only problem is the main character.

I wish I beat this cause it was really fun but i've been stuck on a mission forever. Thank you Top Gun: Maverick for getting me into this

really makes you FEEL like a top gun

you can clearly tell Ēsu Konbatto Sebun went thru dev hell with multiple story rewrites and was done by a team made up of newbies and shovelware contractors toiling alongside a spoonful of veterans who worked on all Your favorit NamcoBandai Games (liek Ridge Racer 4 and Star Fox Assault, betchU love one of those), amirite or amirite my dear self-alleged HAWX superfans capable of looking at a game's credits and assessing the context behind a game...? Yep, you can clearly tell since individual missions in this literal miracle landing are more fun than all of 'AC04' and its superfun score attacks where the main challenge is not falling asleep at the wheel. Nevertheless, Assault Horizon is clearly a much better game because it touches upon IRL horrors of war (OORaH!!), I think my fellow afficiniados of arcade blast em ups inspired by Macross and StarWar will agree.

Also if thou art wondering why there has been practically zer0 news of another one in 5+ years it's cuz the devs were too busy with the highly anticipated pokeyman snap 2 (sold about as much as this game's lifetime sales within a year) before they got around to working on The Numero 8 (thas rite, Tekken!!!!!!!). wonder where all that endless DarkSoul money is going to @ Namco, not some Yakuza finalboss's pockets, as we all know my fellow productpurchasers, Yet More Game! maybeperhaps, a long-requested toddler babytoy for the local patricians who bought PaperMario 2 with new hat for 59,99...? Or more likely another King Of Street Fighter (all those games are the same, cant fool me dAhling! fistfight&wrestle with me in commments if you disagree, One Must Fall, no "drones" involved, man-2-man....)

ps:fully Belkanized and loving it! got crisp&clean white sheets, merely sweaty from summertimesleep...
pps: favorite track, besides the latter part of Three Of A Kind ofcourse? My heroic themesong, One Of A Kind!

Great presentation, I enjoyed replay mode. But missions are terrible, felt badly designed with very few checkpoints. The game is one of the hardest I've played in recent memory.

O space elevatoru yapanın avradına cakimmm

The chapter in the mountains with the thunderstorm booming overhead is genuinely one of the sickest things I've experienced in a game ever.

This was my Steam Review

Game-play and Music are a 10 out of 10 Ace Combat has always had amazing soundtracks! Love the old throwbacks to previous Ace Combat games like Stonehenge. The story was disappointing for me feel like they try to blend an anime show with a alternate reality and it just turns out to be cringe at times and making no sense the enemy you fight in the game are complete morons and scrap queen is such a crazy ♥♥♥♥♥ who cant stop calling everyone "Dumbass" throughout the entire story you'd just wish sometimes shed Stfu overall good game though not worth picking it up for its current asking price $84

Falando de hiper foco, esse é um para mim, amo sua trilha sonora, suas aeronaves, seu enredo e seus personagens, bem escritos com bastante carisma, muitos detalhes estão escondidos durante os diálogos, recomendo atenção ou jogar novamente, gostei muito de coração, sempre volto para jogar algumas horas, mora em meu coração.

Pra quem cresceu assistindo Top Gun: Ases Indomáveis, Ace Combat é um ótimo simulador de combate aéreo com boas físicas e uma quantidade interessante de caças dos mais variados tipos. Não é muito grande, mas é divertido e emocionante.

OBS: a DCL Top Gun: Maverick vale a pena (dá pra zerar só pilotando os caças da DLC)

Probably overstays its welcome by 3-4 missions total, and DLC is definitely not worth it unless you get it on sale, but it's very very fun at its peak.

P.S. Top Gun: Maverick DLC rocks!


High g turns and variable weather conditions = cool as fuck.
A shame that the missions are hardly built around those really cool things and are more concerned with staying consistent with the shitty story, especially toward the end. Having to identify every enemy before being allowed to shoot is the lamest shit mechanic ever in an ac game.

Its ok fun combat but the story is dogshit

I always enjoy fighter jets but this ones story was confusing and overly complex
