For gamers who love feeling the control of modern aircraft taking part in fierce air battles to suffocate, ACE Combat 7: Sky Unknown will be a game that satisfies your desired elements.
It can be said that ACE Combat 7 brings a zero when war is more attractive than just weapons and politics. Experiencing many parts, although it shows its strong influence on the air war genre. But during the past 10 years, this series doesn't seem to get much attention. That still happens when Bandai Namco has added more details to make the game look realistic but also more cinematic. However, Ace Combat 7: Unknown Skies (referred to as AC7) gives this series a completely new look and brings the title of this game back to its place. AC7 is a modern school and evil, hidden in the story of life and people.
The story of AC7 melodies the players back in 2007 and resolves the conflicts between the two familiar forces that if you are a fan of the AC series, you will surely know very well, it is Osean Federation and the Kingdom. Erusea. In the game, you will play the role of an unobtrusive and anonymous Osean pilot, going through many air strikes and events with a combination of cinematic elements and dramatic plot. The plot of the game revolves around small people in the war as well as military victories. But the main spirit of the story is about people with issues such as nationality, borders, cultural identity as well as morality with advances in war technology.
When entering the cabin, the voices emitted from the radio seemed to prompt us to quickly enter the air battle. Not only do you give an ideological statement, the radio also reminds you of your goals and even suspects your actions. Sometimes the voice from the radio is distracting, especially when it comes to dodging missiles, but this makes you focus more on the game to defeat the target or dodge enemies.
The AC7's gameplay is so realistic that movements such as following enemies at high speeds, always sticking to picking a nice shot down position, or doing a dangerous action to avoid the oncoming death missile while The control panel beeps repeatedly, making the player unable to leave the seat. AC7 eliminates some of the more complex mechanical features aimed at a simpler gameplay than previous versions.
In the game, you have to focus on the plane and the surroundings, because there are many factors to consider when fighting. There are many different threats in the air, from the ground and even dangerous terrain areas when fighting at low altitudes. Not only that, many new environmental factors such as clouds and weather continue to bring more drama because it can deflect missiles and bring unexpected elements of combat. In return, you will lose your vision very badly, the possibility of the aircraft being posted will minimize the mobility of the fighter. Even thunder and strong winds will make your aircraft control. Therefore, depending on weather conditions, players will come up with useful strategies to master the sky and make it a more interesting space.
The game consists of 20 missions according to the campaign and its map range is quite large, so the game requires you to divide your attention intelligently into your goals and skirmishes. Each mission also takes players to memorable locations such as the dogfight during the night storm, sneaking in the canyons and must evade widespread explosions in different battles that bring to life. Interesting experience. Some skirmishes like boss fights are really the highlights of the game like when you become a skilled warrior and will fight giant fighters that are always radiating out over the sky with unarmed fighters. Drive makes it difficult for players. However, there are still many unpopular points, such as hunting trucks in sandstorms and chasing after intercontinental missiles, and the final challenge in the game is also a very challenging battle to ask you to play Play again and again.
Another controversial point in the game is that AC7's checkpoints are quite sparse. Checkpoints only occur at the middle of the mission, and will usually have 20 minutes to battle if the goal is not reached and must start over. This is sometimes a bit frustrating at the end of the campaign, when threats are increasing and continuous, while overall demand is increasing.
AC 7 also provides a multiplayer mode including 8 player Battle Royale mode, and mortal team mode. In these modes, avoiding planes is much more difficult and crazy, because the matches are only five minutes long and fast-paced and full of excitement. The aircraft and equipment are opened too as part of the translation itself is brought into multiplayer mode and vice versa. However, each device is limited to a limited number. At the same time, the game also has a weighted scoring system though it obviously depends on their destruction. This is a good idea, but weak players will not become hunters from the beginning and help them strengthen slowly, and create motivation for players.
The PS4 version of AC7 also adds VR mode including a mini campaign mode inspired by the AC4 version. There are only three tasks and their goals are less complex than the main campaigns, but the experience in the hybrid chamber makes us really engrossed. The feeling of speed and height makes us feel dizzy. The ability to freely look around and monitor the target with great eyes and the ability to stumble and tumble very effectively. All of this makes players feel a very realistic experience without sweating. Although it is a pity that there is no major campaign tron VR, but if there will be a great addition.
Overall, the experience that AC7 brings has really improved a lot. Besides the interesting storyline, a new gameplay has been minimized somewhat to help the game reach more types of players, and additional multiplayer, VR and royale battle modes will make the title. The game became more appealing, and made air battles really explosive and intriguing.
