Combining FromSoftware’s longstanding expertise in mech games with their signature action gameplay, ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON brings a brand-new action experience to the series. The Armored Core VI experience is going to be delivered through a dynamic 3D environment with a wide variety of terrains and obstacles that would stand on your way. As a mercenary for hire you should pick your commissions well and attain enough resources to enhance your mech to its full potential.
A mysterious and new material was discovered on the very remotely located planet, Rubicon 3. As a potential and powerful energy source, this substance was estimated to substantially increase humanity’s technological and communication abilities to completely new levels of understanding. Rather, it caused a series of catastrophic events that drowned the planet and its surrounding stars into massive flames and strong storms, thus forming a Burning Star System.
Nearly half a century later that very same material has once again resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet that is now very much contaminated and actually sealed-off as a result of the prior catastrophies. Ever since the disasters occurred there have been numerous attempts to gain control over the ill-fated world, the latest of which is a full-blown alien invasion that seeks to establish their power over the precious resource.
Battles happen all around much of the lands and destruction has taken over the planet quite quickly. It has transformed into an unwelcoming and cruel world, roamed by mechanical beasts that leave only pure devastation in their way. Extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight for control of the substance. The player must infiltrate Rubicon as an independent mercenary for hire and find a way to overcome the dangers that lurk around the world and engage in merciless fights over the substance with the corporations and other factions.
Would you be able to stop the impending threats and also manage to survive in this grueling and dark world?
You have to design and create your own Armored Core (AC) and pilot it through all of the designated areas and maps, where you would face against other mech suit pilots, as well as some gigantic and monstrous mechanical creations that are more than ready to crush you into little pieces.
Players would have to pilot their mechs in some of the most fast-paced, omni-directional battles, taking advantage of massive stages and their mech’s mobility on land and in the air in order to ensure victory.
Make sure to not only make your AC looking cool and stylish, but to also include some powerful boosters, weapons and a sturdy frame so that it is able to withhold against your opponents in both aerial and ground battles.
Customize the Armored Core parts in order to suit a large variety of playstyle combinations. By selecting different parts not only do they introduce changes the the mech’s attacks, but also directly affect its movement and battle style, so each mission can be approached with a unique mech strategy that is specific to it.
You are free to choose between various frames, chases and builds of your personal AC and it could go on foot or wheels depending on your preference, but you absolutely must also consider the flight capabilities of the AC too!
Another major thing to have in mind is the weaponry as it would also have a high degree of customization options and elements such as the potential recoil; trajectory and power levels of the missile projectiles which would present you with the opportunity to dominate the battlefield in your very own style.
Deploy a wide variety of offensive and defensive tactics at close and long range to take down powerful enemy bosses. When in the omni-directional battle environment you are able to make combos between the various firearms and the more mechanical weapons at your disposal, making for clashes of epic proportions every time you dive into action.
Think in combinations that would complement each other well-enough and allow you to destroy the mechanical monstrosities that you would have to face in the game.
Dating all the way back to 1997, the ARMORED CORE series has been collectively around for more than two decades, and even after a lengthy hiatus between the years of 2014 – 2022, it clearly shows there is yet more to be discovered in the far reaches of the vast and established universe of the series.
