Ace Combat Assault Horizon: Final Boss + Ending ( PS3/1080p )

The soundtrack is something that makes this mission special and completes this dogfight and Markov story like nothing else.

[@invaderdesla7229]

namelessUser Agreed, this was my first Ace Combat game I ever played and was a pretty good introduction to the franchise for me. Since then I’ve loved Ace Combat games. I literally bought Ace Combat 7 like two days ago and I’m addicted. Using the SU-33 Flanker-D it’s amazing

[@NightingaleSunset]

I know this is sacrilege to our Ace faithful, but this was always my second favorite Final Boss in the series after Pixy. The music is spot on, and it was the one time I thought DRM really worked in a narrative sense. Sure, the story, characters and DRM overall irked many, myself included... but this final mission is a worthy one in the series even if people feel they HAVE to make sure they diss the game as a whole.

[@meyers0781]

say what everyone wants about the on-rails dogfight mode but the choreography makes for good shots especially how a lot of targets are given close up once defeated. Also the attack helicopter missions are good enough although a bit dragging, considering how nowadays the other one is the underwhelming Comanche.

[@tegjwokjohn1839]

@@meyers0781 I enjoy ACAH quite a bit, but the helicopter missions and turret sections are LONG and I always wish for them to end.

[@lyonvensa]

Not gonna lie, I kinda love this game cinematic wise. Chasing Markov down through the city while him having a chance to turn the tables is real epic.

[@ryanpayne7707]

Story wise, AH was not particularly bad. A bit bland and simplistic compared to international conspiracy a la AC5, but decent. Gameplay wise, its not even Ace Combat.

[@johncarl5505]

@Ryan Payne Well, the story in Ace Combat games is not that good to begin with, nor is the gameplay deep or challenging, so this game is actually refreshing to see in a sea of almost completely identical games. Maybe it's too scripted or caters too much to the casual, but Ace Combat isn't exactly known for hardcore gameplay.

[@Neolith_]

@@johncarl5505 Sometimes, people appreciate more of the same with the exception of occasional updates and improvements. Many franchises nowadays suffer from trying to hard to be different or hell, like others. That's what happened here it seems. Gameplay tends to be lock on and send it, it's everything surrounding said gameplay that makes the franchise stand out as much as it does in my opinion.

[@praptisingh6273]

[@johnrowen4604]

For those of you who have not gotten this far in the game good luck taking Markov down because he's a royal pain to take down and be ready for a long fight and be prepared for it to take you a few tries

Basically: Survive the script. Give some damage. Then go all out when Markov is about to drop Trinity

infinite flares with no reload times, can maneuver vertical 180' in a second with a big ass bomb on his wing, fire missiles in front of you, and not destroyed after 20+ missiles. So yeah sure he's an "Ace"

[@carlcunningham7750]

Somehow, that last moment- Markov attempting to deploy Trinity as Bishop hammers away at him trying to stop it, with the music, followed by that desperate scramble to shoot down the missile.... actually pretty intense.

Mihaly. Markov's lasts for shorter, than Mihaly's.

[@thecrimson.Samurai]

No markovs and he doesn't have a sqaudron

[@RebelFNOS]

Honestly I'd say Markov... Cause AH is set in a timeline closer to our own while AC7 is in strangereal where ADFX-02 and all the other super planes (not to mention in lore the fact the planes are made extremely durable and easy to make and repair due to Gründer) exist as well as the inhumanly skilled pilots... It's just that Mihaly is another one of those pilots and he's still got multiple wingmen as well as the fact we shoot him down in one of those super planes (the Strike Wyvern) and even in prior fights he retreated after taking a certain amount of damage to his plane meanwhile Markov managed to launch the Trinity while flying an SU-57 and getting absolutely riddled with bullets and hammered with rockets... By himself...

*AC1 -* The first airborne fortress in the series, able to cause mass destruction to the entirety of the FCU should it reach the mainland.
*AC2/AC3D -* The first anti-Ulysses weapon, whose nation-destroying missile is aimed towards Yuktobania, with a soulless machine serving as its final guardian.
*AC3 -* An AI developed by a vengeful scientist to bring down the simulation of his worst enemy, while the poor AI is doomed to fade away afterwards.
*AC4 -* A recreation of the first anti-Ulysses superweapon serving Erusea's last stand against the approaching ISAF force as meteors rain down.
*AC5 -* The final challenge presented by Ofnir and Grabacr as they stop the heroes of Razgriz from destroying the SOLG before it wipes out Oured.
*AC0 -* A skyward joust against your traitorous wingman as the clock ticks down as the V2's descent could potentially change the world in the worst possible way.
*AC6 -* The last of the anti-Ulysses weapons aimed towards a populated city, fueled by sheer vengeance from their defeat at the hands of Emmeria.
*ACJA -* The final showdown between Martinez Security and the Golden Axe Plan in San Francisco, ended by one more battle against rival squadron Varcolac.
*AC7 -* Two drones equipped with a veteran ace's data on the verge of transmitting their knowledge across the planet, potentially starting a robot war.
*ACXi -* A victorious battle but a losing war, as Falco Squadron brings down the first Leasath airborne fortress, but at the cost of the capital's capture.
*ACX -* The final culmination of the Gleipnir's data formed into a squadron of superplanes piloted by Leasath's best, all for the amusement of a political madman.
