Another new Armored Core game released from agetec.
Dunno if anyone has been playing this series since its debut from playstation one but anyways.
Introduction:
Pretty much an Armored Core spin-off.
This game focuses on two aspects: ARENA and Training programs.
There are no missions in this one. Just those two stated above.
It is recommended you have a save from "Armored core: Nexus" or you're fucked since you can't purchase any parts or weapons. This game can be played with up to four people. *there is a possibility you can go online but I don't know how exactly to get it to work with my network adatpor*((it's alot harder than with the setup you get with the disc))
Now I will go into Detail. enjoy..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARENA - If you've played the other Armored core games, then you understand arena very well. But, for the newcomers: This is main part of the game itself. You start ranked outside the top 30, so you can only battle those under the top 30 for now. You have to win AP ((Arena points)) in order to advance. Doing this will also give you an Arena title which of course, you can increase. ((I haven't advanced very far at the moment since I just started playing)). Here are the current options in Arena mode:
-TEST MATCH- this is like a search feature. You can pick class, rank, leg type, weight, and range. When you start you can only choose Class C. When you win more battles and increase your arena rank, more search options are available and Unlocked. Once you have made your choice, the game will randomly create Ac's ((armored cores)) based on your search.
-OFFICIAL BATTLE- Once you have a certain amount of AP, you get invited to join an Official battle. These invites allow you to increase your arena class level, and access hidden parts. Remember, you have to get a certain amount of AP to be invited.
-RANKING- this just shows the top 30 arena battler's and what their AC's look like. you can toggle a brief bio on and off if you choose to read it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now onto the Training programs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRAINING - this is available for those who are new, or elite's who need to brush up on their skills. Each training mode has Five levels of difficulty. Ranging from making objects harder to kill, to adding obstacles in your way. When done, you are awarded a Gold, silver, bronze medal, and even some points depending on how fast and well you completed the task. Here is what you start out with:
-ATTACK-
The first training program is called "Accuracy".
You're posistioned outside for this one.
Basically, you have to shoot down a certain amount of training dummies as fast as you can. As you progress, they become faster and more frequent.
Second is "Power".
For this one, you are in a narrow corridor. Your objective is to destroy certain walls as quickly as possible. As you advance, the walls become harder to destroy. Making this slow you down.
Third and final is "Judgement".
((I haven't gone past one since I'm too focused on other programs))
You're inside a battle dome, forced to switch weapons as both air and ground training dummies come out. Choose wisely.
-DEFENSE-
The first program for this is called "Evade".
Just as the name states, you are to avoid weapon fire for a duration of time. You are only allowed to take a certain amount of hits. So be careful.
"Durability".
Works like "evade". You are given walls to hide behind for this. Just survive enemy fire under the time duration. The less damage you take, the better the medal.
"Heat Resisting"
Enemies are equipped with missles that cause you to over-heat. Avoid the missles during the time duration. but there's a catch! The missles follow you around for a little.
-MOVE-
The first one is called "Horizontal move".
Run as fast as you can through the horizontal corridor in the time alloted. As you progress, it becomes harder to navigate. They also add in some turrents to slow you down.
"Vertical move".
Basically "horizontal move", but you boost into the air and land on the ground for this. Watch out for the doors and platforms that block your way!
"Dexterity" or "agility".
You are to jump on platforms in the time alloted. these range from small singles, to triple landing platforms. As you progress, they move and are placed in different places around the area. This involves timing your air boosting and good eye coordination.
