Arcade-style aerial combat games appear to be returning to the spotlight. Skystone Games has launched pre-registration for ACECRAFT: Skyhero, a vertically scrolling bullet-hell shooter. What sets it apart is its built-for-mobile two-player cooperative gameplay.

ACECRAFT: Skyhero is developed by Vizta Games

The game places you in the cockpit of the Ark of Hope to defend Cloudia from the invading Nightmare Legion. Cloudia is a floating fantasy realm in the skies, filled with candy-coated landscapes and gothic witch manors.

This world has fallen into chaos, and only a skilled pair of ace pilots can restore order. Select from eight unique pilots, each with upgradable wingmen. Unlock their individual backstories by progressing through the game and exploring its world.

ACECRAFT: Skyhero combines bullet-hell intensity with roguelike mechanics and cooperative strategy. The campaign is built around two-player coordination—team up with a friend or find a partner online for quick, intense combat sessions.

A standout feature is the bullet absorption system, which allows you to collect pink enemy projectiles and convert them into your own offensive arsenal. Combined with random roguelike abilities that appear during each run, no two aerial encounters will ever feel the same.

You can also board the Time Train to replay memorable boss fights. This unlocks victory logs that track your achievements and reveal enemy weaknesses. Additional modes include timed challenges, speedrun events, and worldwide leaderboards.
