“Armored Core is a mech action series in which you create your own mech by reassembling its many parts, then use that customized mech to carry out various missions. In Armored Core VI, the player finds themselves in the middle of a war over a substance called Coral, which, half a century ago, led the distant planet of Rubicon 3 to be burned to the ground. As for the gameplay, we focused on making this series’ unique aspects—dynamic three-dimensional mech action, and full mech customization—even more robust. Mechs can now fly freely through the air and use multiple weapons at once, allowing for dynamic and aggressive combat that really takes advantage of three-dimensional space. We also focused on the individuality of the melee weapons, and wanted to make sure there were unique ones, such as the chainsaw and the laserlance, each of which have their own unique actions.”
