VR mode consists of 3 missions and might just be the best use of the PSVR to date in terms of immersion. Much like the arcade mode of Ace Combat 5, VR mode has players returning to the role of Mobius One the main protagonist of Ace Combat 4.

The last mode to touch on for Ace Combat 7 is of course the PSVR exclusive missions. Might I add it is also really fun for me to dodge 4 people at once! I love how people will begin flocking after the number one player in hopes to get a huge score boost. To help keep games closer and more interesting when one team/player begins to pull ahead they become worth more points to shoot down. Games play out to a certain score (100,000 FFA/250,000 TDM) or time limit and the team/player with the highest score wins. Multiplayer is divided into two gametypes, Team Deathmatch and Battle Royal (FFA Deathmatch) playing either mode unlocks a new multiplayer only section of the aircraft tree that is filled with parts to help you get the competitive edge. Numerous missions also pay homage to previous Ace Combat games with canyon flights from Air Combat, and tunnel flights from Ace Combat 3 making another appearance here! These missions were pretty intense as you were tasked with helping evacuate ground troops under fire from enemies but you had no idea which ones were on your side. There is also a huge bombshell moment in mission 4 so be prepared! As you make it into later missions there are times when you don’t even know what side an npc on the battlefield fights for requiring you to keep them in view so your support plane can identify them as friend or foe. Missions have been extremely fun and varied with an interesting storyline included to keep you engaged and wanting more! The early missions have also been massively fan servicey for fans of Ace Combat 5 with the inclusion of the Kestrel II, Sea Goblin, former President Harling and the callsign Mother Goose One. I would recommend a quick playthrough of the campaign to help unlock some parts before tackling the online side of things.

Unlike past entries, all unlocked planes and parts are permanently unlocked with no option to sell them to later fund a new purchase. An aircraft tech tree unlocks after the first mission and features several branches you can follow to unlock your preferred planes and upgrades. Purchasing new planes and upgrades functions similarly to how Ace Combat Infinity used to work. Staying in the clouds to long can also cause your plane to ice over resulting in reduced mobility or stalls. Clouds can help save you, or an enemy, from missile lock-ons. When utilizing the novice controls in 3rd-person the camera gives off a more cinematic flair that is interesting to see but not a way I would personally ever play the game.Ĭombat once again involves lining up shots on targets and taking them out using a wide variety of weaponry including missiles, machine guns, bombs and lasers! Oh yes the lasers make me happy! Terrain and clouds also play a much bigger role in the combat this time around compared to every previous game. Flying can also be done in cockpit, HUD only and 3rd-person modes. Due to the increase of drone enemies combat also gets interesting when it comes to utilizing your maneuvering especially in later missions. High-G turns are once again based on risk/reward where they can help you maneuver behind a target but stay in it to long and you will stall. Instead, the flying is more in line with what players remember from Ace Combat 6 High-G turns included.

Gone are the horrible DFM engagements from Ace Combat Assault Horizon. Elite controls are more simulation oriented with the player needing to be in charge of rolling and pitching to accomplish turns versus the push left to go left of the novice setting. Controls are once again broken into the elite and novice settings like past entries in the franchise. Controls are very responsive whether using a controller or HOTAS so fans of either method should be pleased. Flying in Ace Combat 7 feels absolutely perfect for an arcade flight-sim.
