Ace Combat 7 has been famous for its harsh checkpointing in its campaign. How this new mode will counter this remains to be seen. As noted by Edmond Tran in GameSpot’s 8/10 review,
“Checkpoints typically only occur only at the halfway point of a mission, and it’s common to get 20 minutes into a battle before failing to hit an objective and having to start from the very beginning. This can get frustrating in the tail end of the campaign, where threats are more abundant and more relentless and the overall demands are higher.”
