This means that while you have certain elements of simulation present, this is very much an arcade flight combat game. That means your mileage may vary on this, but I didn’t particularly enjoy the English dub in this game.Īs for the game itself, like I said above, Ace Combat 7 sits between arcade and simulation sensibilities. On this point, I found the Japanese audio coupled with English subtitles a more compelling way to appreciate the story, though much of this is down to the fact that I have been playing the Ace Combat games in Japanese for over a decade. With Ace Combat 7, Katabuchi has returned and does a solid job of telling a war-torn story and despite the somewhat overly Macross Plus inspired opening, it has its own tale to tell.
The Strangereal setup has been around a while in the Ace Combat games and many of the best installments have been penned by the talented writer and director Sunao Katabuchi.
