War and two years before the Ulysses impact event, the nations of the continent of Usea, concerned about Osean and Yuktobanian expansionism, agree to form the UAF, an alliance between Usean countries. However, some countries in southern Usea consider siding with the Osean Federation after it offers to sign a military treaty with them, sparking objections and controversy. On May 30, 1997, the day of the treaty signing, conservative extremists in several Usean militaries, including some UAF defectors, engineer a continent-wide coup d'état, forming the URF. The UAF fights back, but by 1998, the UAF, suffering from defections and pushed to their last line of defense in the Twinkle Islands in southwest Usea, initiates "Operation Fighter's Honor", a counterattack led by Scarface Squadron, the elite mercenary fighter squadron that put down the Skully Islands insurrection four years prior. Reception Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy received generally mixed reviews, with Metacritic tallying up to a 71 out of 100 (from 37 reviews) and GameRankings 72.28% out of 25 reviews. Nintendo Power awarded the game a score of 7.5 out of 10, stating "Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy may not be a beefy adventure, but because virtually everything that's great about Namco Bandai's long-running series is present here, it's well worth playing". IGN awarded it an 8.0, praising it for "beautiful environments" and impressive 3D effects, but criticized it for a short campaign and lack of multiplayer.
