Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies

Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies is an aerial combat simulation set in Usea after an asteroid impact kills half a million people. Erusea uses the disaster to invade and occupy much of the continent, while the Independent States Allied Forces fight to reclaim their territory.

Players take the role of the elite pilot Mobius 1 across 18 missions, including search-and-destroy operations and one-on-one or all-on-all dogfights. The game features aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-117 Nighthawk, U-2 Dragon Lady, C-130 Hercules, and SR-71 Blackbird.

Fighters can be upgraded with defense systems, weapons, and other accessories. The campaign also explores the effects of war on civilians and opposing pilots.
