I never played any ace combat before but this game is fun. The controls might need some time to get used to, but overall it is pretty slick. the plane customization could use some explanation though, also the sliders aren't seem to be working. One thing I would recommend if you guys are expanding this game is some aim assist since those flying planes can be annoying to hit. also the AI can get stuck into walls, which naturally leads to cheese.
One thing I really like about this game is the sound effects. It is clear and it makes the player's action feel satisfying. 10/10 explosion sounds.
