This demo is amazing for a demo. But, there are some things that I don't like. All of this is my personal opinion so just take it lightly. It doesn't mean that the game is bad or anything. The first thing that I don't like is there is no high g maneuver and post-stall maneuver. This makes the planes feel more sluggish, made the gameplay slower, and less fun. The second thing is that the clouds are not as good as Ace Combat 7. I feel that the clouds are there just for aesthetics and don't have a gameplay purpose like in Ace Combat 7. The clouds also feel bland because of the small size and not as fluffy as the one on Ace Combat 7. The last thing is the graphics. The graphics are not bad but the colors are just too warm for my taste. Also, the plane texture of this game is very flat with no details. There are no decals or markings or even emblems.
Now the good things about this game that I like over Ace Combat 7. The first thing is I like the way you choose your payload and weapons. You can bring more than one SP weapons depending on the weapons and the aircraft. The other thing is the FOV and how much better is it over Ace Combat 7. The last thing is that the EXPLOSIONS in this game are AMAZING, way better than Ace Combat 7 making this game feels more alive.
Please note that I am kinda new on this jet combat arcade kind of games. My first game of this genre is Ace Combat 7. But, I play war thunder, FSX, X-Plane, and all kind of flight simulator except DCS because I am too lazy to learn how each planes works and I don't have a HOTAS, I play with my PS4 controller.
In conclution, I still going to prefer Ace Combat 7 over this game. But hey, it is just a demo and a very old one so.... I don't know how will the released game will be. I hope that the story mode is going to be as good as Ace Combat 7. The biggest dealbreaker for me is that there is no high G maneuver and post stall maneuver. So I hope they will add it to the final game.
