ACECRAFT is a vibrant side-scrolling bullet-hell shooter developed by Vizta Games, set in the whimsical sky world of Cloudia. Players take on the role of an Ace Pilot aboard the Ark of Hope, a flying fortress tasked with restoring peace to a realm thrown into chaos by the arrival of the Nightmare Legion. Once a land of harmony, Cloudia is now overrun by frenzied creatures and corrupted magic, and it’s up to you and your customizable squad to turn the tide.
The game blends classic arcade shooter mechanics with modern roguelike elements. Players can choose from eight unique pilots, each with distinct skills and customizable Wingmen companions. Combat is fast-paced and strategic, featuring a standout bullet absorption system that lets you absorb pink enemy projectiles and convert them into devastating counterattacks. Each run offers randomized skill synergies, encouraging experimentation and replayability.
ACECRAFT also supports co-op gameplay, allowing two players to team up for synchronized aerial battles and treasure hunts. Boss fights are a major highlight, with each encounter offering unique patterns and weaknesses to exploit. The game’s stages span a variety of colorful environments—from candy-coated skies to haunted manors—each with its own hazards and enemy types.
