Armored Core - PS1 Game

You are looking at Play Station One game Armored Core.

8.3/10 review from Gamespot!

Armored Core is the first installment of the mecha battle game series by FromSoftware, later responsible for creating the famous Dark Souls series.

You are part of Raven Squadron, an elite group of mercenaries whose main weapons are gigantic humanoid mechs called Cores. Fight for the best price in 45 story missions and 2-player multiplay.

Developed by From Software, Armored Core was a decent mech simulator that attempted to balance the grit of western mech titles such as Mechwarrior with the panache of eastern titles such as Gundam.

The story is based after a near apocalyptic war known as the "Great Destruction" which has forced the remaining human population underground. Your character is part of the mercenary group Raven's nest, an impartial organisation whose members take on any job for the right price with the use of Armored Cores, the titular mechs of the game.

One of the unique features of this game that was fairly original for the time was its garage system, which allowed you to design your very own mech. The parts available to begin with are basic but through earning money by completing contracts from organisations (missions in game) you will be able to upgrade your machine by purchasing new parts.

The garage allows you to customise what type of Armored Core (AC) you wish to pilot. This allows you to customise the shape, armament and specs of the machine. You can choose from head, core (body), arms and legs parts, each with its own strength and weaknesses.

For 1 or 2 players.
