Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon - Xbox Series X|Xbox One

Armored Core VI is an incredible game. The customization is deep, the combat is fast-paced and challenging, and the missions are engaging. It looks stunning on the Xbox Series X. A must-play for fans of the series and mech games!

Long time fan of the series since that demo disc of the original on PSX and somehow FromSoft not only stays true to what made the series epic, refines it to modern standards but also just doesn't F it up like so many franchises. This game isn't for everyone and that is part of its charm. Sure it's the ace combat of glorious mech action that has been missing from the genre for generations of consoles, but it makes you work for it, learn and be creative and lokks great doing so. You have to learn the parts, builds, the enemies, how you move in the world and then how to adapt to what gets thrown at you. Once you do, it's a fun rollercoaster of a ride. Not a long game but fun to replay on NG+ a few times unlocking better gear and alternate missions/endings. For better or worse, it is ultimately a simple game. Not open world, no engrossing story to follow for hours on end, no slogging through boring parts of the game picking herbs or cooking etc. Build your mech and go blast through some missions or PVP. All of which makes it great even if you work a lot or otherwise have limited time to game. Easy to pick up and play for hours "one more mission" or just jump in for a quick escape from the grind, see some beautiful robot action and move on in the time it takes to watch an episode of something.

It can be fast paced and unforgiving in some places. But its a FromSoft game, so this should be expected. Like their Souls/Borne games, this one rewards input precision and absolutely punishes mashed inputs. The game tends to "forget" inputs in some circumstances (not favorable to the player) while remembering inputs (again, not favorable to the player) in others when you're mashing buttons based on the rapid changing of circumstances in the game. Like their Souls types, there are definitely over-powered weapons that will 100% carry you through the game. You won't really need to make a ton of ACs even though the option is there if you care to experiment. If you're just trying to get through it, you will easily be able to stick to 1 fast, 1 tank without much concern. Later, when trying to get S ranks, the experimentation comes in handy, but even then, only a couple builds are necessary. Regardless, the customization options are amazing and there is the potential for countless hours of replay if you start experimenting with different weapon and AC builds. The story isn't as obtuse as their other games, but the presentation is just quick narration between sorties. There is more to be found in couple instances of "log" collection, but overall is moderately shallow when compared to their other games. I've enjoyed it thoroughly.

Got this for my son and he absolutely loves it. The gameplay is fast, challenging, and really well done, and the graphics look great on the Xbox. He’s been playing it nonstop since we got it.

a high speed mech game that is very challenging

Good game

This is such a great game. I’ve played all of the From Software games and this one is one of my favorites. A lot of love went it to designing this game. Definitely the best mech game ever. Controls are on point, lots of action, tons of fun. Don’t miss out playing this gem.

He seems happy. Hasn't complained so I would give it 5 stars.

Gran juego, llego en buen estado y sellado

Dope mech game

日本語字幕無しですが、設定変更で日本語ボイスＯＫなのでなんとか遊べます。 アーマードコア初めて遊ぶのですが、面白いです👍

Everything ok excellent game

ACの挙動は地味な小ジャンプ移動が復活していてシリーズファンとしてうれしい。 V系の操作も好きですが、それも踏襲しつつかなり旧作によせているので操作がラクです。 北米版は日本語字幕は無いのでパラメーターの把握に少し苦労しましたが、wikiもあるのでそこは問題ないと思います。基本的にパラメーターはシンプルにまとまっています。 ボス戦の達成感はシリーズイチです。マップも広すぎず窮屈じゃない感じで良いです。 シリーズファンのみならずアーマードコアは初という方にもおすすめの良作です。
