Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon’s stellar customization options feed into its excellent mecha combat, and the result is challenging combat puzzles that kept my attention all the way through its 15-hour campaign and beyond. It’s let down by a dull story, but lands direct hits where it counts.
Armored Core 6 is the modern, action-packed mecha game that deviates from the Soulsbornes formula orchestrated by Hidetaka Miyazaki.
From Software parent company Kadokawa has released its financials for the year, and while profits are down, Armored Core has performed surprisingly well.
Name another company that has ever released only games worthy of a 90+ score for over a decade? starting with Demon's Souls, nothing but 90+s...even DS2 was a great game.
According to parent company Kadokawa, Armored Core 6 sales performed "beyond expectations" at the end of last year, as did Elden Ring sales.
I loved it, no surprise it did well because there's nothing like it and the fans have been starved of a new game for 10 years. It also helps that the game is fun and complete, no DLC/micro transactions or season passes either, which is typical of From Software games, I can't wait for Armored Core 7!
Its a fantastic game. It plays great on my Deck as well, so its an equally amazing portable game. No IAP's, no online requirement, just raw, exciting gameplay. The way games used to be. More of this, and they will get my day-1 money instead of waiting for sales to buy in.
Hmm. Interesting. I'd like to try a demo if possible Fromsoft. 🙂
A reasonable score. AC games have always been made for the core and hard for beginners. Since it's taken such a long break, it may be tougher to get into compared to souls obv. I'll definitely be picking this up, I loved some of the old games but couldn't beat em as a kid lol.
Let’s gooooooo!
Getting great reviews and all. Cannot wait for Friday!
Eating good
The AC series has never been a very high scoring game. The score of an 8 is similar to the scores with the past games between a 7.5 to an 8
