Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a mecha action game. It was developed by FromSoftware, a Japanese studio responsible for the series since 1997, also known for Elden Ring, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Bloodborne and the Dark Souls series.

Plot

The game is set in the distant future, its plot revolving around a mysterious substance discovered on the planet Rubicon 3. It was thought to potentially revolutionize energy and communications, letting humanity make massive technological progress. Instead, it caused a disaster and engulfed the entire star system in flames.

Fifty years later, the substance appears on Rubicon 3 once again. The previous catastrophe was not enough to discourage humans hungry for profit, and so, corporations and resistance groups arrive to the planet, fighting for the resource.

We play as a mercenary wrapped up in the middle of the conflict for control over the globe.

Game mechanics

The game expands upon the ideas from previous installments of the series. Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a third-person shooter, in which we control a mecha. Our machine can move quickly, jump to great heights and use many different firearms and melee weapons, making combat very fast-paced.

The campaign consists of a series of missions with varied objectives. We also collect parts used to modify our machine or construct new ones.

Technical aspects

The game features appealing 3D visuals, its main strengths being the machine and location designs.
