Our take on Rising Sun - Iron Aces
Rather than staying with one shoot 'em up format, the game shifts between standard shooting, rail-based dogfights, armored boss fights, and evasive objective runs. Pilot-specific opening levels also interrupt the usual single-hero structure.
What is Rising Sun - Iron Aces?
Rising Sun - Iron Aces is a 3D shoot 'em up set after the Second World War, where the Valkyrias confront a mercenary army led by former General Albert Hessler.
Story mode spans 12 stages and supports solo or cooperative play. Players choose from four pilots, each with a distinct opening level, and can unlock and upgrade nine aircraft.

Three difficulty settings are available, along with boss battles and special stages.
