A sinister plot by a terrorist organization with ties to various governments has brought the world to the brink of chaos. The player must infiltrate enemy forces in the Middle East and eliminate their military threat, using a F-119 stealth fighter as their ally. With a single aircraft at their disposal, the stakes are high as they navigate through solo missions, taking out opposition with regular bullets and missiles.
While equipped with a stealth fighter, Air Diver surprisingly lacks stealth elements. From the cockpit perspective, the player must engage enemies head-on, using the ship's maneuverability to evade incoming fire. The aircraft can move left and right, perform boosts for dodges and loops, and even take cover behind enemy planes. As the mission progresses, the HUD displays crucial statistics, including fuel levels and enemy positions on a radar screen.
