The thirteenth game in the ''[[Ace Combat]]'' series--despite the name, ''Assault Horizon Legacy'' (known in Japan as ''3D Cross Rumble'') is a return to the world of Strangereal and an updated remake of ''[[Ace Combat 2]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], putting the player back in the flight suit of the leader of the Special Tactical Fighter Squadron "Scarface," who now has his own callsign--Phoenix.

On the day that the USEA Allied Forces were to formally sign a treaty with Osea, conservative extremists organized a continent-wide coup d'etat, headquartered in North Point's capital of St. Ark. Many Allied Forces units joined the rebellion, warring on their former comrades. With fears that the rebellion would successfully take over the USEA government, the faltering Allied Forces launch Operation Fighter's Honor, assembling the 37th Air Force 18th Fighter Wing 9th Special Tactical Fighter Squadron, "Scarface." Leading the charge is Scarface One, TAC Name "Phoenix."

Compared to ''[[Ace Combat 2]]'', ''Assault Horizon Legacy'' brings a lot of features from later installments--notably the involving radio chatter from ''[[Ace Combat 04 Shattered Skies]]'' onward, unlockable custom parts for aircraft as in ''[[Ace Combat X]]'', and ace squadron battles in the style of ''[[Ace Combat Zero]]''. Similar to the Close Range Assault system in ''Assault Horizon'' and Tactical Maneuver Command system in ''[[The Sky Crawlers]]'', ''Assault Horizon Legacy'' has a Maneuvers system which allows players to get behind enemy aircraft (provided the [[Charge Meter|Maneuvers Meter]] is charged enough) or dodge missiles at the touch of a button.

* [[Composite Character]]: Some of the returning named aces from ''[[Ace Combat 2]]'' now share a single plane. For example, ''AC2'' had two Tornado F.3s piloted by Max and Goose. In ''AHL'' they fly a single YF-23A as "Max&Goose."

* [[Character Customization]]: Like ''[[Ace Combat X]]'', custom parts can be unlocked and used on aircraft, including custom wing additions, armor, engines, and cockpit software.

* [[Chasing Your Tail]]: Enforced; most missiles have a better chance of hitting the enemy when fired from behind, and the Maneuvers system allows Phoenix to automatically position himself behind a target.

* [[Civil War]]: The Usean Rebellion, same as in ''[[Ace Combat 2]]''. Olsen mentions that some are calling this the Usean Continental War
