Above & Beyond Air Combat features three different play modes. The two arcade modes, Gauntlet and Survival, serve as quick-play, pick-up game sessions. Gauntlet sends the player down treacherous, windy canyon passes with the goal of flying through all the floating loops arrayed about the course. Survival inflicts wave after wave of enemies upon the player with the goal of staying alive as long as possible and racking up points. The core playmode, however, is Conquest. It challenges the player to liberate island after island- — 60 in all — using the 12 available aircraft (unlocked based on progress) in an open-world playfield scenario — smooth transitions, no load time. The game offers single player combat only across three levels of difficulty (Recruit, Veteran or Ace).
