==Main Games==
  
−
The main games in the series are console games that take place within a universe named by the fans as [[Strangereal timeline|Strangereal]]. It has a different Earth than the real Earth or the ones seen in the other games - all of the countries, continents, conflicts, and cultures are different.

Most ''Ace Combat'' games follow the same general gameplay format. Players are tasked with a consecutive series of [[:Category:Missions|missions]]. These missions start with briefing cutscenes that outline the main objectives and the enemy forces the player will face. After the briefing, the player can select one of their owned [[:Category:Aircraft|aircraft]] or purchase a new one, as well as a [[:Category:Weapons|secondary weapon]] in addition to standard [[missile]]s.

  +
''Ace Combat'' mission objectives, enemy types, and friendly supporting units greatly vary across the franchise. Players will sometimes shoot down a squadron of enemy bombers, destroy ground installations, face off against ace squadrons, or battle a massive superweapon. Gameplay remains the same throughout; the player controls their aircraft in a 360° field in the sky with freedom to fly anywhere within the mission boundaries. Missiles must lock on to an enemy target to be guided, but players can also use an assortment of non-guided weapons such as [[Machine Gun|machine gun]]s or [[Rocket Launcher|rockets]].
  +
  +
Some missions also feature a [[Mission Update]], where the objectives and enemy types change halfway through. Once all objectives are cleared, most games follow to a debriefing screen that summarizes the player's performance in the mission. Some games also feature a [[Replay Mode]] that presents the player's flight in various cinematic viewpoints. Players are also treated to additional story cutscenes during and between missions to provide context to current and past events affecting the conflict.

Ace Combat 24th Anniversary Wallpaper

Ace Combat's 23rd anniversary mobile wallpaper

"Out of all of the games that I regularly play, Ace Combat games are the most consistent for moments that have made me feel so thrilled with gaming that hairs stand up on the back of my neck that I'm so goddamn excited to be playing it."
― John Bain (TotalBiscuit)[1]

Ace Combat[a] (often stylized as ACE COMBAT) is an arcade flight action video game franchise developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment since 1995. The franchise typically features accurate real-life military aircraft in addition to unique fictional designs. The Ace Combat games are characterized by dramatic stories, fast-paced gameplay, and grandiose soundtracks.

Ace Combat is recognized as one of the most successful and longest-running arcade flight franchises in the video game industry. As of 2018, the franchise sold over 14,000,000 copies across all games and regions.[2] The newest major game in the franchise is Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, released in early 2019 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam.

Gameplay

See also: Category:Gameplay

Most Ace Combat games follow the same general gameplay format. Players are tasked with a consecutive series of missions. These missions start with briefing cutscenes that outline the main objectives and the enemy forces the player will face. After the briefing, the player can select one of their owned aircraft or purchase a new one, as well as a secondary weapon in addition to standard missiles.

Ace Combat mission objectives, enemy types, and friendly supporting units greatly vary across the franchise. Players will sometimes shoot down a squadron of enemy bombers, destroy ground installations, face off against ace squadrons, or battle a massive superweapon. Gameplay remains the same throughout; the player controls their aircraft in a 360° field in the sky with freedom to fly anywhere within the mission boundaries. Missiles must lock on to an enemy target to be guided, but players can also use an assortment of non-guided weapons such as machine guns or rockets.

Some missions also feature a Mission Update, where the objectives and enemy types change halfway through. Once all objectives are cleared, most games follow to a debriefing screen that summarizes the player's performance in the mission. Some games also feature a Replay Mode that presents the player's flight in various cinematic viewpoints. Players are also treated to additional story cutscenes during and between missions to provide context to current and past events affecting the conflict.
