Prepare for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon with this guide to the best entries in the series! While FromSoftware is known for its Souls-like games, the Armored Core franchise boasts a rich history, spanning decades and numerous titles. This mech-based series typically features post-apocalyptic Earth settings where you play a mercenary completing missions for various clients. Success earns you funds for mech maintenance and upgrades, while failure means game over.
The Armored Core series comprises five main numbered entries, along with numerous spin-offs, totaling sixteen games. The first two games share a continuity, while Armored Core 3, 4, and 5 each have their own separate timelines. Armored Core 6 represents a likely new continuity. To help you prepare, Game8 presents a selection of the best Armored Core games to play before the August 25, 2023 release of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon.
