Ace Combat Infinity is a free-to-play game developed in 2014 for PS3. The game has you taking to the skies in various missions, combining flight simulation and combat. This game is part of a series of flight combat games, with this one being unique from the rest because they take place on planet Earth.
The game is set in an alternative universe, where Earth has been destroyed by something called the Ulysses Disaster. Essentially, meteors shower down on Earth and destroy about 20% of it. This causes Earth and the world order to fall into Chaos. When the dust settles, terrorist organizations abound trying to take advantage of the situation.
The player, and also the main protagonist of the game, is a rookie in a squadron working to stop these terrorists and bring peace back to Earth.
The game offers three different modes to play, including a story mode, tutorial mode, and multi-player mode. Each mode has something unique to offer players.
Free-to-Play Issues
Ace Combat Infinity is the only game in the series that is free-to-play, but that does come with its issues. Free players only get three fuel units per day, which amounts to three sorties. After that players will have to buy more fuel from the shop if they want to continue playing.
This can get expensive, but there is a ‘lifetime fuel’ option for single player only if you don’t want to keep visiting the shop over and over again. It’s also possible to earn more fuel through the in-game reward system, which drops red or gold boxes that occasionally contain fuel credits.
Grind Is Well Balanced
Most of these games are about running missions over and over again so you can customize your plane the way you want it. This game has a great balance of grinding to rewards. It is much easier to get a reward in Ace Combat Infinity than it is in War Thunder, but not so easy that you are done playing almost immediately. It’s difficult to balance the grind in games, and the fact that they managed to do so is a nice touch.
Tons of Content
One of the standout features of this game is just how much content it comes with. The game has over 60 different planes, with many of them having additional special versions. The game also features several unique maps so you’re not always flying over the same familiar space, and tons of customizable elements. The overall result is a game that manages to look new and fresh, even years down the road.
Ace Combat Infinity has been a well-loved game for many years. Although when it first came out the player community did not enjoy it due to the free-to-play nature of the game, it has since grown on them. The sheer amount of content and the well balanced grind make it a game that keeps its replay value for years.
Pros:
- Lots of content
- Balanced Grind
- Many different play modes
Cons:
- Fuel Units Can Get Expensive
