Acecraft: Sky Hero Revives Arcade Co-Op, Pre-Register Now

It looks like the thrilling era of arcade-style aerial shooters is roaring back. Skystone Games has launched pre-registration for ACECRAFT: Skyhero, a vertical scrolling bullet-hell shooter. What makes it unique is its dedicated focus on mobile gameplay, featuring a built-for-mobile, two-player cooperative experience.

ACECRAFT: Skyhero is developed by Vizta Games

The game puts you in the cockpit of the Ark of Hope to defend the floating fantasy world of Cloudia from the invading Nightmare Legion. This realm among the clouds is a sight to behold, featuring candy-coated landscapes and mysterious gothic witch manors.

Thrown into chaos, it's up to a pair of ace pilots to restore order. You can select from eight unique pilots, each with their own upgradeable wingmen. Unfolding their personal backstories is part of the adventure, revealed through gameplay progression and exploration.

ACECRAFT: Skyhero blends intense bullet-hell action with roguelike mechanics and cooperative strategy. The core campaign is designed for two-player teamwork. Team up with a friend or find a partner online to tackle enemies together in quick, action-packed sessions.

The game features a unique bullet absorption system. This allows you to capture pink enemy projectiles in mid-air and convert them into your own powerful attacks. Combine this with random roguelike skill drops during each run, ensuring every sky battle feels fresh and unpredictable.

You can also board the Time Train to replay pivotal boss encounters. This unlocks victory archives that track your triumphs and reveal boss weaknesses. Additionally, a challenge mode, speedrun events, and global leaderboards offer plenty of replay value.
