Synopsis

Sega's dogfight series returns to arcades with over 20 stages of high-flying action in After Burner Climax. Players can climb into the cockpit of an F-14 Super Tomcat, F-15E Strike Eagle or F/A-19E Super Hornet and charge through the skies, dodging planes, rockets and bullets while trying to target and take down as many enemies as possible. A branching storyline and time limits force players to make split-second decisions, but once the "Climax Gauge" is full, time slows momentarily to allow pilots to unleash a screen-clearing barrage of bullets.

The game was delisted from the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in December 2014. The mobile versions followed suit, being delisted in May 2015. In April 2019, the mobile versions were put back on sale as free-to-play, ad-containing games outside of the Sega Forever line, before being delisted again at an unknown date.
