I was unsure about the change in controls between this and Ace Combat 2, but I came around in a BIG way on how nice and weighty your movement feels.

Played an English patch version of the Japanese release, UPEO route all the way. That’s some fun flying.

Presentation drips with atmosphere, what a great vibe. Also the animation + themes were super intriguing. Big fan! Really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to going back someday to one of my save points at a branching mission, try and see how the other missions and story paths are.
