Game Rant Writes "The debt system in early Armored Core games is an iconic part of them but is a brutal mechanic whose removal comes with pros and cons."
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.
I hope we get another AC game in the future or some DLC, I don't think we'll see DLC though. At the shizuoka hobby show they apparently announced a heap of AC model kits, even from older games like AC3.
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.
Debt system hasn’t been there for a long time so it make sense it’s not here again. Although it’s a a cool idea in the old games imo it would probably be a major pain in the ass with a bigger game how it was before. I like more systems but I’m sure there would be many who would hate it if it was in there and may have made the game just too hard to manage.
