ZERO FIGHTER
Read full descriptionHide full description
Take the controls of the Zero and soar into the skies of the Pacific War. This title is an authentic 3D flight-shooting game that puts you in the cockpit of the Mitsubishi A6M Zero (Zero-sen). You begin with flight training at Kasumigaura, mastering basic maneuvers—such as banking turns, steep dives, and loops—alongside an instructor's aircraft. Once training is complete, it is time for actual combat. You will progress through a series of campaign maps that recreate the battlefield: flying over fleets, dodging anti-aircraft tracer fire, dropping bombs on enemy ships, and engaging in dogfights to shoot down enemy fighters. Set against a backdrop of beautifully rendered cloudscapes and open ocean, the game offers an authentic aerial combat experience using intuitive gyro controls—all from your smartphone. Why not become a Zero pilot yourself and master the skies of the Pacific?
