Ace Combat Xi: Skies of Incursion

About

Ace Combat Xi: Skies of Incursion is a mobile port of the aerial combat series that brings dogfights and mission-based gameplay to iOS. Set during the early days of a conflict between Aurelia and Leasath, you pilot a fighter jet through scenarios involving enemy strikes, base destruction, and escort duties. The controls are touch-based, with options to customize layouts for different devices. Each mission mixes fast-paced shooting with occasional puzzle-like objectives like hitting specific targets or managing fuel. This is the only Ace Combat title released for iOS, a rare entry in the franchise’s history. It retains the core loop of aggressive maneuvers and weapon upgrades but adapts to mobile constraints with simplified menus and shorter play sessions. While not as detailed as console versions, it serves as a portable way to engage with the series’ signature spectacle. No major updates or patches have been released since its 2009 debut.
