Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon Review - The Final Verdict

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is the first mainline game in the franchise in 10 years, with developer FromSoftware looking to leverage its fame from the Souls franchise to bring the mech-based action game to a new generation of players. The game offers a unique structure, where players are encouraged to change up how their mech works on a regular basis, depending on just what kind of action any given mission will demand of them.

The game also tells its story in a unique way by giving players smaller glimpses at skirmishes happening all over its world, allowing players to draw their own conclusions about the motivations of the various factions that inhabit the world of Rubicon. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon features a modern control scheme that makes handling your mech intuitive, while also featuring a smooth difficulty curve that ensures that you won’t really bite off more than you can chew too early in your career as a mercenary.
