About this gameFull description from Steam
Prepare yourself to soar through the skies! ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN puts you in the cockpit of the most advanced aircraft ever developed for a fierce flight shooter experience unlike any other. Take down the enemy to make it out alive. - EXPERIENCE INTENSE DOGFIGHTING IN REAL AIRCRAFT Aerial combat in ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN combines realistic handling, extensive aircraft options, and blistering speed for a thrill that anyone can enjoy. From the greenest pilot to the hardened maverick, taking to the skies in your choice of aircraft is a ferocious joy. The vast selection of cutting-edge aircraft combined with future technology and weapons makes ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN the most realistic experience possible. Each craft can be personalized with extensive parts and ordinance options. Cutting through the deep blue with 360 degrees of maneuverability in pursuit of the enemy is an unforgettable high. Chase down your targets and launch attacks on land, sea, and air to dominate the skies! - JOIN THE ACES OF STRANGEREAL Become part of the ACE COMBAT Series that takes place across the fictional lands and skies of Strangereal. As a war between rival nations accelerates, technology clashes with human values in the form of massive, unmanned aircraft that threaten to shift the balance of power. Your story is a struggle for survival at the edge of the sky. Take control of real aircraft to soar through the skies in search of a better tomorrow and prove that there is no substitute for an ace pilot. - FLY THE DYNAMIC THEATER OF THE SKY The world is different up here in the clouds. At high octane speeds, your aircraft can pierce through thunderstorms and get lost in the unfiltered glare of the sun. These conditions can change quickly, and crafty pilots can use them to turn the tide during a tricky skirmish. Even your HUD and instruments can be affected by the weather, so keep your head on a swivel. If you fly with these conditions in mind, the vast photorealistic sky of Strangereal will be yours to control. - FIND YOUR SQUADRON IN MULTIPLAYER Team up in Battle Royal/Death Match where you can jump into the fray. Fight together against teams from around the world to become the top ace squadron!
