for me, it's a really good start to the series, already has its age, but for me, it's like wine

Aged impressively well considering the kind of ambition on display here. It definitely takes a while to get accustomed to the controls and the balancing is comical, but I have to respect it considerably for how well it sticks the landing for the most part.

It can be clunky but there's so much to experiment with and sink your teeth into that it's worth pushing past that initial difficulty. I liked it, but I have yet to check out the other Armored Core games. I oughta do that...

Typed a long ass review but my dumbass accidentally closed all my tabs and I lost it all. In short, gen 1 is very good and has some of the strongest design ethos I've seen in any game. MoA is kino.

much smoother to play than i'd been led to believe. obsessed with the way that the little physical trajectories of each attack emitting from specific points on the core all matter with the importance of playing corners and high grounds because you can't move so good all the time. wish i'd played this before cruelty squad, it's all in here

An absolute classic. Redifined forever the Mecha genre
