As a mercenary known as a Raven, you'll take on dangerous missions, battle rival mechs, destroy massive enemies, and earn credits to upgrade your machine. The real fun comes from experimenting with weapons, armor, boosters, legs, generators, and countless other parts to create a mech that fits your playstyle. The controls definitely feel old-school today, but the deep customization, strategic combat, dystopian sci-fi world, and addictive progression still make Armored Core a must-play mech classic.
