(Winner of "IP Twist Award" for best implementation of an old franchise, speech below)
One fucking heavy robo gun in one hand, a can of whoopass clenched in the other, Armored Core boosts back into the spotlight.
We were always destined to see this series return, but to think we were gifted with the level of production FromSoft is known for these days is just a treat.
Every element that makes up Fires of Rubicon is honed with a razer sharp edge, from its stunning visuals to the design of the mechs, handled with care and attention to detail, each one feeling worthy enough to get its own anime spin-off.
The voice acting and sound design reach a new level, taking every step to synchronize you into the drama and action. Just as previous titles from Armored Core, the music motivates you as the Apex Predator but with intense techno and sizzling synth.
Fires of Rubicon graces fans with nostalgia, and newcomers with probably one the most in-depth mech simulators in recent history, making the player really feel the complexity of the mech building, its intricacies and quirks, all culminating in you thrashing thrashing them on massive batttlefields. And, of course, the Moonlight Sword yet again, the cherry on top of this return to greatness.
