It’s rated 12+ and currently has 41+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes ACE Academy Visual Novel Stand Out
In the year 2049, mechanized robots commonly called GEAR were developed for military application. Since then, their versatile functionality has led them to not only become commonplace in commercial use, but also spawned an entire sports entertainment industry. The prevalent use and popularity of GEARs has created a new academic field known as “Cenorobotics”.
Due to unforeseeable circumstances, the protagonist finds himself transferring to ACE Academy, a premier school for Cenorobotics studies in Japan. He struggles to find a team willing to accept him and his outdated “American” GEAR to compete in the intramural tournament. When compared to the sleek, robust, and advanced technologies of the Japanese counterparts, his search feels utterly hopeless. That is, until he finds a group of pilots just desperate enough for another member. This is where your story begins.
ACE Academy is a comedy-centric, slice-of-life, visual novel with sci-fi and romance elements. With hundreds of choices available, you can experience the storyline and interact with characters in a much more personalized way.

Community Insight:
Seriously, this is probably the best mobile visual novels Ill ever play! It has a good story, (albeit abrupt ending tho you cant do much about that for financial reasons) good waifus, and good romance.
If you really want to engrossed yourself reading and enjoying great stories with lots of different characters, love interest then we suggest buy this game so they can make more like this. Thanks for a really great visual novel :))).
This is the visual novel that got us into the games by pixel fade. The story and characters are so well done. If you like visual novels we highly recommend this game.
We enjoyed our time with Ace Academy. You can tell when the scope got away and it feels a little unfinished, but there is so much heart and content there that you would be hard pressed not to smile. By the end we wish there was more (yay Kaori after story!), and the supporting cast was as strong as the main. Thats a testament to a sound VN, and good stories in general. Good enough that we bought their other works immediately. Didnt even hesitate. Kaori wasnt even our favorite and yet we gladly picked up that after story.
We love the game but feel like there should be more romance options like one for mei or the silhouetted girls.
Store screenshots shows the game being widescreen but its not iPhone X supported. We wouldnt have bought it if we had known it hadnt been updated for newer model phones.
We own this on steam and have played through it several times. The humor is great and the story is incredible. Just had to buy it again for our phone/iPad.
