Following a successful 2024, marked by their collaboration with Lilith Games on AFK Journey, Farlight Games is back with a new title: Ace Trainer. Currently in soft launch in South Korea and the US, this game blends several popular genres in a unique way.

Ace Trainer features creature collection, training, and leveling, reminiscent of popular monster-catching games. However, Farlight adds a twist by pitting these creatures against zombie hordes in a tower defense style gameplay. Adding another layer of complexity, pinball mechanics are integrated to acquire resources.

This eclectic mix of tower defense, pinball, and creature collection makes Ace Trainer a truly unique experience. While its global release remains uncertain, the current soft launch across multiple regions suggests Farlight has high hopes for the game's success.

Ace Trainer's genre-bending approach is ambitious, incorporating PvP, PvE, tower defense, and pinball elements. While this blend might seem overwhelming, it also holds significant appeal for players who enjoy a variety of gameplay mechanics. The long-term viability of this multifaceted approach remains to be seen.
