Gameplay
Gameplay
Unlike the usual flight simulation games in the Ace Combat series, Advance is a top-down shooter similar to Strike, but using fighter aircraft instead of attack helicopters. The game's campaign is divided into 12 missions. These missions are very similar to those in the rest of the Ace Combat series, with a few unique missions that require new tactics, such as "Spy Game", and "Finale".
Plot
Plot
In the year 2032, eight years before the events of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere, globalization has blurred the borders between countries, and megacorporations have become worldwide economic superpowers. One of these megacorporations, General Resources Ltd., uses state of the art military equipment and their Air Strike Force (ASF) to destroy anybody who could potentially pose a threat to their superiority. A new international military is created to fight back, spearheaded by an elite fighter squadron called the United Air Defense (UAD), which the player is part of.
