If you find the challenging works of FromSoftware just a bit too slow, and wish for a faster-paced ride compared to Dark Souls and Elden Ring, look no further. Armored Core is known for its bombastic mech-suit fighting, with the sixth mainline instalment in the series now available. So, what does Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon on Xbox, PlayStation and PC entail?
Fire and Chaos
Highly-customisable mechs are the main course for Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, available now on Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Your own bespoke Armored Core mech will suit your playstyle perfectly, as each part can be tailored to your own method of attack and movement. Approach each of the huge stages on offer differently, based on the types of enemies you’ll face.
And face enemies you shall. This is all due to the planet of Rubicon containing a brand new substance that is vital to advance humanity.
Fall into the wrong hands, however, and all hell will break loose. You will land on Rubicon as an independent mercenary, and attempt to gather some Rubicon for yourself.
Crazy Multiplayer and key features!
For many, the main draw of Armored Core VI is that of the online multiplayer. This will come in either 1v1 or 3v3 competitive action, in which you must destroy your enemy combatants, before they take you out.
- Intense omnidirectional combat – Overcome enemy challenges that come from all directions by taking to the air, thanks to the addition of high-powered boosters to Armored Core mechs. Players can boost jump, hover in the air, assault boost to rapidly close distances and use the highly maneuverable machines to rapidly switch from long-range to short-range battles, using every advantage to succeed in battle.
- Highly mobile and customizable mechs – The key to success in ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON is finding the right parts to do the job. With numerous different parts to fit in four weapon slots in addition to modifiable head, arms, legs, torsos, boosters, and more, tinkering to find the perfect combination of parts to overcome challenges is core to overcoming the game’s challenges.
