ACECRAFT is a mobile cooperative shoot-them up who differentiate itself by an very intense cooperative gameplay. Developed by Skystone Games Pte. Ltd, the game is based on the eye-catching catchphrase “WE FLY TOGETHER!”. It eschews pure solo shooting like fighting games in the sky, making two players cooperate as a team in asymmetrical roles; one player takes on the immense rainbow bullets amid this world of color, and another focuses on attacking them. This can absorb and then counter enemies' attacks, which isn't just a neat trick but turns ped living dodge mode into an elaborate game of cat and mouse where getting shot at is as exciting as taking out enemies, keeping the action both unique and engaging.

The game takes place in the world of Cloudia, a land filled with castle ruins, stone columns, and ancient statues. There are over 100 stages laid in rich and varied terrains like grass, swamp, beach or snowy fields. It features 5 different forms of your character with unique fighting properties. The visuals also have a fun, bright-colored high-impact cartoon-style look which feels both fast paced and nostalgic as opposed to being almost photo realistic, and compliments the pace of action well. The game also features light rogue like mechanics which offers various skills of eight different pilots and random power-ups throughout runs, it sheds an extra layer of strategy and replay value.

Easy to access is one of its major strengths. Players can hop right into the action from the moment they boot up the game as intuitive controls make it easy to master each of this race's waves. It's in the social space where this game really comes alive. Coordinating with an ally via the quick-chat wheel to execute a kill combo, or share frozen cake bites from victory chests is another reason it feels all the more fun and communal. It's a great option if you're looking for one-off play sessions, such as on your commute or to decompress after work — particularly because it has an offline mode.

In a word, ACECRAFT is an enjoyable mixture of action, casual strategy and social adherence. If you like shooters and have friend to play with, this high-flying adventure is definitely worth a look.
