Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere

Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere is an arcade flight combat game set in 2040's corporate warfare landscape. You pilot advanced aircraft through missions that range from assault runs on enemy squadrons to defense of key installations. The Japanese release contains 52 missions structured around branching story paths—your choices determine which faction you support in the Intercorporate War between Neucom Incorporated and General Group. Each decision shifts the narrative, unlocking different mission sequences and outcomes. The sci-fi setting introduces futuristic aircraft designs and weapons systems distinct from the series' earlier modern-military entries. Combat blends arcade-style flight controls with tactical mission objectives. Multiple playthroughs reveal different perspectives on the conflict. If you want flight combat with actual story consequences rather than just a mission list, this delivers.
