The Armored Core Legacy
FromSoftware, renowned for its Souls-like games, boasts another iconic franchise: Armored Core. Spanning decades, this series features mech combat in a post-apocalyptic world. Players take on the role of mercenaries, completing missions for the highest bidder.
Mercenary life is all about client satisfaction. Tasks range from eliminating rebel forces and scouting enemy positions to pursuing high-value targets like trains. Successful missions yield funds, essential for mech maintenance and upgrades. Success brings powerful new parts; failure means game over.
By 2013, the Armored Core series comprised five main entries and numerous spin-offs, totaling sixteen games. The first two games share a continuity, while Armored Core 3, 4, and 5 each have their own separate storylines. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, launching August 25, 2023, will likely establish a new continuity. To prepare for this latest entry, Game8 presents a curated list of the best Armored Core games to play beforehand.
