Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception Screens

First impressions are most likely everlasting, that’s why Namco has been busy amping the latest game for their Ace Combat franchise, Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception. This is the first PSP entry of the series, that’s why you can’t really blame the Namco guys for doing everything necessary for this game to be perfect. The game takes you to the Federal Republic of Auerila who is at war with its neighbour, the Democratic Republic of Leasath. Auerila was said to have exploited Leasath during a civil war.

The game doesn’t only feature an original storyline told through CG, but it also boasts of everything you’d expect and want in a Namco flight simulation game – detailed jet models, options for fine tuning your machines (engine, wing, five categories of the armor, weapon and cockpit), and plenty of real world jets.

The Campaign Mode, makes you a pilot in the Gryphus Squadron of the Federal Republic of Auerila. Defend the skies, claim victory and restore freedom, those are your responsibilities. Campaign mode makes use of the Strategic AI System, where the contents of a mission change based on the strategies that you select. The game also has a multiplayer mode for up to four players. The game will be released on September 30 in Japan and on a later date in the U.S. and in Europe. So for now, here are more of the game’s screenshots.

More screens await after the jump!
