With licensed aircraft such as the F-14D and Tornado F3, and a strategic AI system where the player's course of action directly affects their mission objectives, Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception allows the player to play the role of an ace pilot trying to liberate his home country, Aurelia, from its neighbor, Leasath.
A country filled with ulterior motives hidden behind long internal strife, Leasath, has invaded and taken control of Aurelia.
Defending the invaded country, the player's mission is to take them to the skies of battle in order to defeat the enemy and restore freedom and peace to his homeland.
Rounding out the feature list, Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception allows players to tune their stock planes with unlocked parts in campaign mode to further enhance their flying experience.
