Massive Air Combat

Massive Air Combat is a simple 3D arcade flight-shooting game. You pilot the XF-99 fighter and destroy enemy aircraft, with friendly and enemy planes fighting in the same area at the same time.

Story

As radar technology advances, stealth fighters become commonplace. Willsword develops the XF-98, a fighter with high attack power and exceptional durability. Its MD armor reduces radar performance and weakens enemy missiles by irradiating them with high-powered lasers and EMP. Willsword then develops the XF-98 into the XF-99 Artemis, an “air fortress” feared by Maxell’s pilots.

Willsword is the player’s country, Maxell is the enemy, and Ulcafe is Willsword’s ally.

Campaign missions

The campaign has seven levels. Its missions include defending Willsword from another Maxell attack, destroying an enemy helicopter battalion, clearing enemy fighters from an occupied allied island, attacking ground vehicles, preparing for a major air battle and shooting down enemy ace pilots. Another mission has you take a helicopter to destroy ground vehicles.

Other missions

Five levels continue the story after the war, and the game also has multiple extra levels. These include a mission to engage an enemy squadron in a fighter like the F-16, a test flight of the mass-produced XF series, a ground attack in a plane like the A-10, and an interception of unidentified enemies. Other missions involve an enemy attack on the capital despite a supposed peace treaty, an assassination attempt on senior enemy officials during a night storm, an ambush and an “impossible” 1-versus-95 mission. The ambush level requires a graphics card to play.

Score ranking

One level is devoted to score ranking. You can replay it as many times as you like without quitting the game, competing on the total number of enemies shot down. The ranking appears on the Steam leaderboard.

Aircraft and battles

The game features fighters, transport planes and helicopters, with more than 100 friendly and enemy aircraft in each level.
