In Revolution Ace, humanity is nearing extinction, and the player’s mission is to infiltrate the AI core and fight the machine forces. The campaign’s combat begins with a basic ship armed with machine guns and air-to-ground missiles, setting up a shoot ’em up built around expanding and tailoring an aircraft rather than relying on a fixed loadout.
As enemies are defeated, new technologies become available, including plasma shields, wave beams and ion cannons. Players can configure their rig from hundreds of possible combinations, while leveling unlocks additional weapon slots and perks such as piercing and shield stealing. The game also puts aircraft into varied encounters against air, land and sea enemies, with ships and buildings reacting to damage through its physics design.
The format supports both solo play and cooperation, with online and local two-player co-op, as well as a distinctive Versus mode in which players send enemies and hazards against an opponent.
