Like previous games in the series, Ace Combat 5 features gameplay that is a cross between that of an arcade flight game and that of a flight simulator.

Unlike its predecessors, AC5 does not include a multiplayer mode as developers did not have enough time to implement one. The gameplay of Ace Combat 5 is divided into three modes: a campaign mode, an arcade mode, and an optional tutorial. The game has received generally favorable reviews, although critics note that the game is not the 'revolutionary step forward for the series' that Shattered Skies was. The multiplayer mode present in previous titles, however, was scrapped during development. Among these additions are an arcade mode and the ability for the player to interact with wingmen. The Unsung War follows this squadron's exploits as they attempt to ward off the Yuktobanian invasion of their homeland and uncover the truth about the war.Īlthough a majority of the gameplay in Ace Combat 5 remains similar to that of its predecessor, Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, several notable additions were made. The storyline revolves around the player character 'Blaze,' an Osean fighter pilot who leads a four-plane unit known as Wardog Squadron. The game's main campaign is set during a war between the fictitious nations of Osea and Yuktobania. Nonetheless, the game's events and locations are set in a fictional world. A limited number of the games were bundled with the Hori Flightstick 2 accessory.Īce Combat 5 features more than fifty licensed real-world jet aircraft. The game was developed by Project Aces, an internal Namco group credited with the development of the Ace Combat series, and was published by Namco in October 2004. Like other titles in Namco's Ace Combat series, Ace Combat 5 features gameplay that is a mix between arcade flight and authentic flight simulation. Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War ( エースコンバット5 ジ・アンサング・ウォー, Ēsu Konbatto Faibu Ji Ansangu Wō ?), released in PAL territories as Ace Combat: Squadron Leader, is a semi-realistic flight combat video game for the PlayStation 2.
