Aces of the Galaxy

Aces of the Galaxy is a 2008 rail shooter video game developed by Artech Digital Entertainment and published by Sierra Online. It was released for the Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The player controls a pilot who steals an alien spacecraft, and engages in space battles. Each level follows a predetermined path, and the player can use a chain gun, cluster missiles, and torpedoes to attack enemies. In order to complete the game, the player must complete nine consecutive levels, and if they die at any point, they must restart from the first level.

Gameplay
Aces of the Galaxy is a rail shooter game played from a third-person perspective. The player controls a pilot who steals a spacecraft from an alien race called the Skurgians, and is subsequently chased. The player can also use a scanner to reveal hidden enemies, as well as perform barrel rolls and slow down time to dodge enemy attacks. Each level includes a hidden power-up that if found allows the player to choose one of three different paths, each with their own set of levels. Each path has a different environment and enemy layout. The player must complete nine of the twenty-five available levels consecutively to complete the game. There are no checkpoints or save opportunities in Aces of the Galaxy, which means if the player dies, they must restart from the first level. Each enemy the player kills increases their score, and an online leaderboard tracks player scores from each playthrough. ==Release and reception==
