Armored Core 3

Armored Core 3 is one of the first releases of Armored Core for PlayStation 2. The production is of course a tactical action game, presenting the fight of the mosses, i.e. powerful combat machines equipped with the latest technology. The work is the next installment of the flagship series of the Japanese developer company From Software.

In Armored Core 3, the story focuses on showing the conflict between mysterious organizations that escapes the control of the person who controls all the important aspects of the virtual world as shown in AC3. The corporations joined forces and the peace and quiet that had been maintained for years was in ruins. The Controller, as this is the name used by the aforementioned ruler of the world, cannot cope with this stalemate situation, so he turns to the player with help. Sitting at the helm of one of the combat machines called mosses, he has to deal with the chaos and restore the previous order.

However, before we start the game it is necessary to create your own machine. We do this in an extensive editor that allows you to select arms, legs, processor, head, generator, fire control system, cooling system, as well as weapons, defense systems and the mechanism responsible for the ability to accelerate. Each element, of course, discovers an important role, influencing the combat capabilities of the moss in an immediate manner.

For the needs of the game, the authors have prepared about fifty missions, in which we sow a fire for tactical fashion. Individual tasks have been divided into several main types. These include escorting an important device, deflecting hostages, protecting a key object, or taking part in a frontal attack. In each mission, however, the essence of the game is to shoot and manoeuvre between numerous obstacles, which is possible thanks to the well-developed control system, as usual. In more difficult tasks we get support from the winged ones, with whom we can give simple commands.

In addition to the standard feature mode, we have the opportunity to take part in the fights 1-on-1, fought in a special arena. This option consists of increasingly difficult duels in which we face seventy opponents.
