🔍Our review: FromSoftware's mecha mayhem masterpiece
If you dig giant mecha games, you'll love Armored Core VI
FromSoftware Inc. is primarily known for creating dark fantasy action-RPGs like Dark Souls and Elden Ring. However, it is also famous for creating Armored Core, a relatively underground series of action games where players were contracted to pilot mecha and fight in dark, grim wars in order to survive.
The series went on hiatus in 2012 after the release of Armored Core V until a decade later when FromSoftware revived the franchise with its latest entry, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, to the rejoicing of fans and newcomers.
This game features a stellar, mission-based single-player campaign with plenty of side-missions and an intriguing war story packed with shocking twists and compelling characters. It also contains a fast-paced combat system that emphasizes aerial mobility and in-depth character-build customization that encourages experimentation to create multiple load-outs for your mecha using all kinds of weapons, armor, and components obtained throughout the game.
And you're going to need all the upgrades you can get as Armored Core VI features a gallery of tough-as-nails bosses that are terrifying to behold and will destroy you in the blink of an eye if you're unprepared. By mastering your mecha's energy management, weapon systems, and aerial capabilities, and coming in prepared with the right character-build, you will be able to overcome the odds and experience immense levels of satisfaction for your efforts.
