ACE Combat 7: Skies Unknown Fitgirl – V1.8.2.8 + All DLCs

Today we’re talking about Ace Combat 7. After playing just for a while I immediately understood that on the surface to an outsider. It might just look like just another random flight military game. It’s actually way more than that and it’s good Ace Combat feels like a perfect mix between hardcore flight simulation and something a bit more. Arcade and fun you got to chew on this analogy a bit but it really does feel like how the fort’s of horizon games find a perfect blend between hardcore realism and being able to have fun and do cool at the same time. Now there is an assisted mode kind of and an expert mode to choose from it’s up to you. Franchise purists will definitely insist on expert mode and that’s totally fine.

It’s also just good to have the option for people who aren’t good with flying in games or just need some accessibility but in all honesty expert mode is the way to go but the name of the game here is getting mission briefings and flying up with your squadron and doing war stuff. Whether it’s bombing runs doing fights or some other stuff I’ll get into it’s always an action-packed affair. Whether it’s like you know machine-gun fire or using rockets or homing missiles.

You shoot your way through a whole campaign that is actually packed with story. What I’ve learned is that Ace Combat is as much about story and adventure? As it is flying around Top Gun styles which says a lot because I really like Top Gun but you don’t really get Top Gun here. You get something quite way more distinctly Japanese but also pretty awesome and interesting.

The story here is actually quite dense and will keep interested. You know throughout and actually a quite ballsy manner tell stories around your missions involving other characters. As well it’s just you know a ton of cool dialogue and exposition from your radio while you’re in the air when characters chat in via radio. You get these cool character portraits with their over-the-top code names and their handy dialogue voiceovers and totally remind movie. A little bit of Metal Gear Solid and the story itself is a total drama that is absolutely you know kind of corny at times but it is an emotional tale.

It will keep you interested. It’s pretty engaging that’s a really overused word but it is now on combat element in the air. The clouds almost work kind of like as a cover. You can disappear in them to break missile locks but the trade-off is sometimes the weather has been and can mess you up and you generally always just have less visibility. This is the first Ace Combat game on Unreal Engine 4 and it makes all the difference. The game is about slick visuals and effects all flying by at a blazing pace but also the music is freak in kick-ass super high budget.

There’s a good amount of variety in the gameplay too. There’re wide-open country sides where you’re blasting anti-aircraft guns and supplies on the ground. Also there’s stealthy night sections where you got a fly low chases above city skylines or in-between canyons and mountains fighting drones superweapon airships. The boss battles with like you know legendary pilots that you got to face off against and then there’s intense weather stuff like lightning storms or sandstorms.

Then there’s so many different scenarios like taking off from the ground. Sometimes refueling midair or by landing and resupplying with stuff and shooting off into a fight.
