Armored Core 6, AC6
Release Date: August 25, 2023
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a third-person mecha shooter. The game revolves around fast-paced melee and ranged combat, as well as modifying and constructing new machines.
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is the next installment in a series originating from 1997, developed by FromSoftware , also known for Elden Ring, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Bloodborne and the Dark Souls series. Unlike their other games, AC6 features an industrial sci-fi setting, starring mecha pilots.
The game is set in the distant future, its plot revolving around a mysterious substance discovered on the planet Rubicon 3. It was thought to potentially revolutionize energy and communications, letting humanity make massive technological progress. Instead, it caused a disaster and engulfed the entire star system in flames.
Fifty years later, the substance appears on Rubicon 3 once again. The previous catastrophe was not enough to discourage humans hungry for profit, and so, corporations and resistance groups arrive to the planet, fighting for the resource.
We play as a mercenary wrapped up in the middle of the conflict for control over the globe.
The game expands upon the ideas from previous installments of the series. Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a third-person shooter, in which we control a mecha. Our machines differ from those known from such games as MechWarrior - AC mechas are lightning fast, can slide, jump and even fly short distances. Players can prepare to each mission by customizing their mecha depending on the objective. Armored Core is famous for its deep mecha customization, and AC6 is no exception: we'll get to change our armor, weapons mounted on each arm, different kinds of legs affecting our mobility and stability.
Preparing our machine is crucial, as the stages in Armored Core 6 are large and vertical, often pitting us against many enemies at once, firing from above, from below and from the sides. The combat is extremely fast-paced and challenging, as expected from a FromSoftware game. It's worth noting, however, that Armored Core has its own identity and is no typical soulslike.
Aside from the story campaign, the game features PvP multiplayer. The battles are 1v1 or 3v3, each pilot having just one life and no way to heal - eliminations are permanent, and dead players can no longer support their teammates.

Summer Game Fest gave me the opportunity to get an early look at gameplay for the upcoming FromSoftware title, Armored Core VI. To put it lightly, this game won’t be a walk in the park.
FromSoftware's result for the past fiscal year was worse than for the previous one, but Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon sold surprisingly well.

Game Informer: 8.2 / 10 by Connor Trinske
Armored Core VI is a solid return for one of From Software’s long-dormant franchises. It still carries many of the mech genre’s old contrivances, like its generic mission structure and predictable plot. However, it modernizes mech action meaningfully to introduce it to a new generation. While legacy fans may have some complaints about the “casualization” of Armored Core, I am ultimately glad the series is back and firing on all cylinders.
PC Gamer: 87 / 100 by Wes Fenlon
The coolest mechs in gaming history form the core ( ?° ?? ?° ) of an intense, focused action game.
Forbes: 8 / 10 by Ollie Barder
Overall, Armored Core VI is a proper mecha action game. It’s not the best game in the series, but it is solidly done. The new target assist setup works fine and is also able to be turned off if need be. The story and localization are great, and very much inline with the Japanese dialogue for the first time in the series’ history. It’s also definitely a return to form for the Armored Core series, but the never-ending boss fights do take away from the decent mission structure and pacing, especially later in the game. However, for someone like me that’s been playing Armored Core games for over 25 years, it’s nice that this series is back and finally being given a proper chance to shine
