Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere allow the player to pilot 22 aircraft across a series of 36 missions in Namco's third entry in its arcade-style flight combat series. Receive briefings before each mission to learn the battle details and identify your targets. Then pilot your aircraft around the battle area while attempting to destroy targets in the air, on the ground, or at sea. Complete your objectives to advance to the next mission with new aircraft and weapons.

A number of conditions must be satisfied to succeed. Your damage rating must be under 100%, you cannot crash or be shot down over land or sea, you cannot exceed the time limit, and you cannot leave the battle area. If you do not meet all of these conditions, your mission ends and you must restart. Refuel your aircraft in midair, fly during the day or at night, and choose from three difficulty settings to customize your game.
