Ace Combat Assault Horizon: Final Boss + Ending ( PS3/1080p )

The soundtrack is something that makes this mission special and completes this dogfight and Markov story like nothing else.

[@invaderdesla7229]

namelessUser Agreed, this was my first Ace Combat game I ever played and was a pretty good introduction to the franchise for me. Since then I’ve loved Ace Combat games. I literally bought Ace Combat 7 like two days ago and I’m addicted. Using the SU-33 Flanker-D it’s amazing

[@NightingaleSunset]

I know this is sacrilege to our Ace faithful, but this was always my second favorite Final Boss in the series after Pixy. The music is spot on, and it was the one time I thought DRM really worked in a narrative sense. Sure, the story, characters and DRM overall irked many, myself included... but this final mission is a worthy one in the series even if people feel they HAVE to make sure they diss the game as a whole.

[@meyers0781]

say what everyone wants about the on-rails dogfight mode but the choreography makes for good shots especially how a lot of targets are given close up once defeated. Also the attack helicopter missions are good enough although a bit dragging, considering how nowadays the other one is the underwhelming Comanche.

[@tegjwokjohn1839]

@@meyers0781 I enjoy ACAH quite a bit, but the helicopter missions and turret sections are LONG and I always wish for them to end.

[@carlcunningham7750]

Somehow, that last moment- Markov attempting to deploy Trinity as Bishop hammers away at him trying to stop it, with the music, followed by that desperate scramble to shoot down the missile.... actually pretty intense.

[@johnrowen4604]

For those of you who have not gotten this far in the game good luck taking Markov down because he's a royal pain to take down and be ready for a long fight and be prepared for it to take you a few tries

[@MrBangijal]

Basically: Survive the script. Give some damage. Then go all out when Markov is about to drop Trinity

[@Schwerple]

Still a pretty damn good boss though

[@lyonvensa]

Not gonna lie, I kinda love this game cinematic wise. Chasing Markov down through the city while him having a chance to turn the tables is real epic.

[@ryanpayne7707]

Story wise, AH was not particularly bad. A bit bland and simplistic compared to international conspiracy a la AC5, but decent. Gameplay wise, its not even Ace Combat.

[@johncarl5505]

@Ryan Payne Well, the story in Ace Combat games is not that good to begin with, nor is the gameplay deep or challenging, so this game is actually refreshing to see in a sea of almost completely identical games. Maybe it's too scripted or caters too much to the casual, but Ace Combat isn't exactly known for hardcore gameplay.

[@Neolith_]

@@johncarl5505 Sometimes, people appreciate more of the same with the exception of occasional updates and improvements. Many franchises nowadays suffer from trying to hard to be different or hell, like others. That's what happened here it seems. Gameplay tends to be lock on and send it, it's everything surrounding said gameplay that makes the franchise stand out as much as it does in my opinion.

[@go4it776]

Markov is good at dodging because he has an infinite flares so don't shoot him just follow him save your ammo until the part when they say he his attempting to drop trinity shoot him down there

[@davidvanderplas2507]

no. if you at least hit him once he will attack you less, if you do nothing you have more difficultys with him. as hi will counter attack more frequently if you dont shoot him.

infinite flares with no reload times, can maneuver vertical 180' in a second with a big ass bomb on his wing, fire missiles in front of you, and not destroyed after 20+ missiles. So yeah sure he's an "Ace"

Markov was truly a amazing foe. I understood his reasons. His devotion to his wife was no joke. He was really set on doing what he felt was right. It was tragic and it was not right what happened to him. It also was not right what he has done either but damn he really put it all on the line.

Well, dogfight mode is widely unliked, and I don’t like it much, though I will say one thing. The scenery and the movement are the only things that makes it good. It gives you the time to focus on it while “taking out” an enemy. It’s like a cutscene.

[@thecrimson.Samurai]

No markovs and he doesn't have a sqaudron

[@RebelFNOS]

Honestly I'd say Markov... Cause AH is set in a timeline closer to our own while AC7 is in strangereal where ADFX-02 and all the other super planes (not to mention in lore the fact the planes are made extremely durable and easy to make and repair due to Gründer) exist as well as the inhumanly skilled pilots... It's just that Mihaly is another one of those pilots and he's still got multiple wingmen as well as the fact we shoot him down in one of those super planes (the Strike Wyvern) and even in prior fights he retreated after taking a certain amount of damage to his plane meanwhile Markov managed to launch the Trinity while flying an SU-57 and getting absolutely riddled with bullets and hammered with rockets... By himself...

Markov makes you chase him in DFM and while you are busy trying to land a hit on him, he fires a group of missiles and those missiles scatters around you and shortly later, they are on your tail, coming at you in a straight line. That's when you cancel the DFM and out maneuver the missiles then chase Markov again
