After Burner Climax

description After Burner Climax Overview

After Burner Climax is a combat flight rail shooter developed by Sega and released for arcades in 2006. It updates the structure of the earlier After Burner games with three-dimensional high-definition graphics, rapid target locking, missile attacks, and a Climax mode that slows the action and helps the player engage multiple enemies. Players follow a predetermined flight path while steering a modern fighter aircraft, avoiding fire, and choosing branches through the campaign.

help After Burner Climax FAQ

How is After Burner Climax different from the original After Burner?

After Burner Climax modernizes the classic 1987 arcade formula with 3D HD graphics, a new 'Climax Mode' that slows time and boosts your lock-on capability, and branching mission paths. It was developed by Sega AM2 and retains the fast-paced rail-shooter flight combat of the original.

Can I still play After Burner Climax in arcades?

After Burner Climax was released in arcades in 2006 using Sega's Lindbergh hardware, featuring a motion-simulating cockpit cabinet. Some arcades and barcades with classic Sega machines still have it, but it is increasingly rare to find in operating condition.

Was After Burner Climax ever released on PC?

No, After Burner Climax was never officially released on PC. It was available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as a digital download and in arcades, but a PC port was never produced before the game was delisted.
