Take to the skies once more, fight new drone threats, and become a Brave Heart once again.
Four years after the Cruabar War, peace was supposed to hold.
Instead, the skies are changing.
Unidentified autonomous drones begin appearing across former war zones and civilian airspace; highly advanced, coordinated, and hostile on sight.
As a newly assigned Brave Heart pilot, you are thrust into active duty alongside an elite squadron tasked with protecting Uflein’s airspace and uncovering the origin of this growing threat.
What begins as routine recon missions quickly escalates into full-scale aerial combat operations, as evidence points toward a hidden force manufacturing and deploying these machines across the region.
Experience a fully voice-acted story campaign spanning 3+ hours, featuring:
30 visual novel styled cutscenes
Story-driven mission progression
High-intensity dogfights and boss encounters
In-game QTE moments and dynamic combat sequences
Every mission pushes your skills, your coordination, and your squad further into the unknown.
Choose your teammate and adapt your combat style with:
4 unique teammates, each with special abilities
Strategic ability cooldowns and synergy in combat
Your squad isn’t just backup, they’re the difference between survival and failure.
