The Chronicles of Erusea

The Chronicles of Erusea was a 2016 Reboot of Fox Force made by Project Aces using their own proprietary engine with photorealistic graphics, the game is about a boy who is an amalgamation of many WWII Fictional Characters, he is a mixture of Peter Pevensie, Edmund Pevensie from Narnia and William Beech from Goodnight Mr Tom. The game is primarily based on The Chronicles Of Narnia, but with slightly less religious overtones compared to C.S Lewis's literary classic.

Here is some of the Plot anyway,

Peter Barker, a boy who has just been evacuated from London during WWII alongside his mother, is struggling to come to terms with the fact his father, a fighter pilot, has been captured in Germany and sent to a POW Camp. While bored, he explores the house and finds an old room, with a map of Strangereal and Erusea, and a Wardrobe. He goes inside and discovers a futuristic world of anthropomorphic animals and humans. He meets a friendly Helicopter Fighter Squadron, called "Faun Squadron", he has a chat with them and then comes out telling his mum all about it but she won't believe his nonsense, the only person who believes his "nonsense" is his quirky uncle, Jack, who claims to have been inside the Wardrobe to a place called Erusea. His Uncle Jack believes he can build a weapon that can easily destroy German Fighters, Bombers and Rockets, and it will revolutionize "Air Combat". Peter then sees the plans for the machine, which his uncle calls a "Hell Fighter", a Helicopter like machine and Peter says he saw one in Erusea, Jack then says he got the plans from Erusea as one of the first "Sons of Adam".

When he arrives back, he notices a White Witch, called Jadis Morgan, who reveals she has been using a weather machine in Erusea to cause a permanent winter. Peter senses she is not a good person, and refuses to be tempted by her Turkish Delight.

Later, Peter meets the "Razgriz Liberation Army" and the "Fox Force", a group of anthropomorphic animals who want to destroy Jadis and her group "Free Erusea" as not only does she want to cause a permanent winter, she only wants humans to live in it. This startles Peter, who is reminded of WWII and his Father. He joins the Fox Force and learns how to fly a "Hell Fighter", the game has 60 different "Hell Fighters", Single Seater Futuristic Attack Helicopters that have infinite reloading ammo and fast firing rates.

We see Razgriz later on in the game, instead of a Demon, he is a Anthropomorphic Lion similar to Aslan but more anthropomorphic than his feral depiction in the books. The only religious scene in the game is when Razgriz is captured during a mission and tortured by Jadis, until eventually being nailed on a cross to be crucified, this scene was initially controversial when the game came out, but it has been considered to be one of the most disturbing and emotional scenes in gaming. As Razgriz resurrects, with more determination than ever before.

Wolf Calamity also return in the game, and are now headed by a wolf called Maugrim, who is part of a mercenary squadron and is only in it for money.

The final mission of the game involves destroying a superweapon known as "Chandelier", the Chandelier music from Ace Combat 6 OTL is in this game, with the boys choir singing.

Eventually Chandelier is destroyed, Jadis has been killed and her helicopter destroyed by Razgriz the Lion.

At the end of the game, Peter becomes King of Erusea for 20 years, then he decides to go home, Razgriz warns him this may be the last time he sees him, and after saying his goodbyes to all the squadrons, he comes out of the wardrobe, only 5 seconds have passed in the country house. He goes back to his Uncle Jack and tells him the entire story. Then his father sends him a letter from the POW Camp and he is doing relatively well.
